Happy Birthday with Avery Elle....

Hello everyone! 

If you are looking for the post for 

Rubeena's Crafty Anniversary please click here. 

Happy Wednesday and happy September!!! 

I am sharing a card I created using the Avery Elle 

A Merry Little Christmas stamp set. 

I also used the Starry Scene stamp set for the mountains and trees. 

I wanted to create a Fall themed card with these sets. 

I know they are meant for Christmas, lol I still gave it a shot. 

Not sure if this turned out to be a Fall themed card or a Birthday/ Christmas non-traditional colors card, lol!! 

I began by coloring my images using Copic markers. 

I will list them below. 

I then used the Avery Elle Wonky Stitched Elle-ments dies to create the base of my card. 

I added Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink to the bottom half of my base. 

This is such an adorable set. 

I hope you enjoy the card I created and feel inspired to create! 

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

Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day!! 

Copic Markers Used: 

Orange: YR09, YR16, YR15

Mint: BG12, BG10

Green: YG17, YG13, YG06, YG03, YG01

This is an amazing celebration!! I am truly honored and beyond grateful to be part of this amazing hop! 

Rubeena is such a super talented crafter and such an inspiration!! If you do not already follow her make sure to do so, you will absolutely fall in love with everything she creates!

I was very excited to create something to share with you in honor of this celebration. I began with two fun cards with some crafty friends in mind. I was inspired by two previous "Disney Themed" cards I had created using Lawn Fawn products. The first one was actually created for Rubeena's birthday. It was an Alice in Wonderland themed card. I recreated it in honor of her hop but this time I used the fun Shadow Box die.

I wanted to create an area to write a note in for the recipient of this card, so I 

created a mini card on the back of my shadow box. 

Here is the inside of the card: 

I used the same Copic markers as I did for the first card with this theme.

Please feel welcome to check out that post here. 

For my second card, I used the beautiful 

Magnolia Clear Stamp by Avery Elle.

I ended up creating a set of cards with the gorgeous image from this set.

I used Daniel Smith watercolors to color the flowers in. 

For the background, I used Gouache paint. 

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

I hope you will join us tomorrow for Day 2 of this amazing hop and celebration!!! 

Wishing you a wonderful and blessed day!! 

Up next is the super talented Keeway Tsao!

YAY!!! HSN Crafty Day with Derwent Inktense Color Pencils..........

Hello everyone!! Happy Wednesday!!

I am super excited to share the cards I have been working on recently. 

I was invited to design a couple of cards to be part of today's HSN crafty day!!! 

I am very thankful for this wonderful opportunity!!! 

For my cards, we were showcasing Derwent Inktense Colour Pencils.

I admit it was my first time using these pencils. 

It was interesting to see how they work. 

I love the fact that you can add multiple layers to get different intensity of color.

I used Avery Elle, Reverse Confetti, Concord & 9th, Mama Elephant, Hello Bluebird, 

WPlus9, Altenew, and Ellen Hutson for my cards. 

I can not thank you enough for taking the time to stop by!! 

Wishing you each a wonderful and Blessed day!!! 

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 !

Wishing you a Blessed day !! 

CDD June 2017 Release Sneak Peek Day 6 ...

Happy Friday !! 

Welcome to Day 6 or our 

Craftin Desert Divas 

June 2017 Release 

Sneak Peeks . 

Today we are sneak peeking the 

Coffee Wizards stamp set . 

I die cut a piece of cardstock using Fancy Frames dies and Tim Holtz watercolor paper . 

I then did a bit of watercoloring to create the "magical aura"  scene. 

I used Distress Oxide Inks in the colors

Worn Lipstick , Wilted Violet and Cracked Pistachio . 

For the center of my images I used the 

Inside Scalloped Circle Dies . 

For the second card I created to share with you today 

I used the very cute 

Birthday Bus stamp set 

from Avery Elle . 

 I loved this cute image from the moment I saw it !! 

 I colored up my image using Copics . 

I then wanted to add some balloons and found these on the Skating By stamp set . 

 Then I added a bit of Distress Inks in the colors Tattered Rose and Spun Sugar to the background , 

stamped my sentiment , and the card was basically done . Quick and simple <3 . 

I hope you enjoy the cards I created to share with you today !! 

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