Marker POP Guest Designer ......

Hello everyone !! Happy Sunday !!

Today I am super happy to be guest designing

for MarkerPOP Blog .

I am honored and grateful for this opportunity !!

For this challenge it is a color theme .

For my card today I used the Skating By stamp set from

Avery Elle . This image is so fun !! I have had this set for a bit of time

( I won't tell you how long ,lol ) and this is the first time I used it !!!!

I used my Copic markers to color the images in .

I was going for a deep berry look ...this is as close as

I was able to get with the colors I own .

Might be time to look into more colors, lol !

I used RV69,66,63 with a bit of RV000 and B0000 in the center .

For the blue tone I wanted to keep it more cool toned .

I believe I used B01 and B0000 ( I should have written it down ) .

For her hair I used E44, E50 and a bit of E49 .

Super quick and easy card to create !

I hope you enjoy .

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by !

Happy Birthday Dinosaur Theme ....

Happy , happy Thursday everyone !!

I am stopping by today to share this set of

cards and pillow boxes and mini cupcake toppers ...

Can you tell it is someone's birthday ?!

It happens to be my niece Gianna's birthday ,

she is turning the big 4 today !!

For her bday goodies I went (it was a must actually )

with a dinosaur theme . In her words she told her mom

" I am not a princess I am a Dinosaur !!" and she does not want a

princess bed she wants a dinosaur one , lol !!!

Yes , she is amazing and knows what she wants !!

I used several sets from Neat & Tangled to create

these projects . The cute dino and the girl are from the

Prehistoric stamp set . The cake, hats and cupcakes are from the

Big Top Birthday set . I also used the adorable new

Wild Ones stamp set .

I began by creating the card with the dinosaur and birthday images

on the background . I usually try to color all the images that are going

to be the same colors at the same time . I began with purple

(oh yes and she doesn't like pink either , lol ) .

I used Copics : V09, V06, V04, V12, V01 , V000, V0000 and a touch of BG10 .

For the peachy pink , lol I had to add just a bit , I used R20 and R000.

For the letters to spell out her name I used the Journaling Alphas .

These were soo much fun to create !!!

I hope you enjoy !!

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by !!

Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day !!

Happy Friday with LOTS of Fun Cards ....

Hello everyone !!!

I am on a card making roll right now , lol !!

I am having so much fun creating !

I am back with more cards I created using the

newest CDD release sets.

For my first card I used super cute

Get Wild stamp set ( the rhino is my favorite ) .

I actually created a shadow box scene .

It is a file from the Silhouette online store .

I began by die cutting the shadow box using kraft cardstock.

The trees are also die cut using my Silhouette .

I couldn't find the exact tree I was looking for so

I used the base of one tree and clouds to create these ones.

I used my Distress Inks to add color to the trees and the sun .

I then colored in my images using Copic markers. T

he grass and road for the slider were die cut from

the Outdoor Landscape Dies .

This was a fun card to create !!

For the second card I created I used the Twinkle Toes stamp set .

It is for my sweet and super talented design team sister Jan .

I began by die cutting my base using the scalloped edge die from Fancy Frames using Bristol Smooth cardstock . I then stamped the flower images from the Botanical Layers set onto the cardstock .
