Noel Joy

I suppose it goes without saying that I simply adore these Sarah Kay images!

This one is called Noel Joy . Isn't she sweet?

I stamped the image on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder, then colored with Tombow Markers . It was then cut and embossed using Spellbinders Labels Four Nestabilities . The edges were distressed just a bit using Tea Dye Distress Ink . I stamped another hat, colored it and popped it up with foam tape to add dimension.

To make the icy snow beneath her feet I used Diamond Glaze for my adhesive, then sprinkled Krystallos Glass Glitter Shards over the top.

The red patterned paper panel behind the main image was cut and embossed using my new Labels Eight Nestabilities . It's the first time I have used that one...and I LOVE it!

The designer paper is from My Mind's Eye. The cardstock is Blush Red Prismatics and Spring Willow Prismatics medium.

For those of you who got a holiday today, I hope you're enjoying the time off. The rest of us are drudging through another Monday! Ha!

Thanks for stopping by!

Webster's Pages Angel

You can see that it didn't take me long to use some of the *NEW* Webster's Pages paper that just arrived. There is only one thing wrong with the paper...is so pretty you won't want to cut into it! Honestly!!!
The paper I used on this card is from their Sweet As Cherry Pie petite papers. I only cut it down 1/8" to put it on a 6" kraft note card.

The main image is Whiff of Joy's Confirmaton Melinda . I stamped on watercolor paper using Versafine Onyx Black ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored with Tombow Markers and blended with a damp paint brush.

Using my Quickie Glue Pen for adhesive, I added Crystal Ultrafine Glitter to her wings. I distressed the edges with my scissors, then used Tea Dye Distress Ink for aging. Since I was going for a vintage look, I added ivory crochet ribbon and some Prima roses.

The sentiment on the inside is Stampendous You're An Angel . I cut each of the four corners of my Pink Prismatics paper with a Fiskars border punch, then added a tiny pearl from the new Mini Pearls by Zva Creative .

I hope you're all enjoying your weekend. It's been rainy here, which is *perfect* stamping weather if you ask me!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Perfect Love

A friend of mine needed a wedding card. Since I didn't have one in my stash I made this one for her to send. I really hope she likes it. It was actually pretty quick and easy...and that NEVER happens for me! Ha!

The main image is Whiff of Joy's Wedding Cake unmounted stamp. I stamped it on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored with Tombow Markers and a damp paint brush.

The corners of the panel were punched with a Fiskars corner punch, then Blush Pearls were added to embellish.

The sentiment is from the Whiff of Joy Wedding Sentiment Collection . It was stamped on Crabapple Prismatics cardstock, then cut with my Spellbinders Fancy Tags . The burgundy velvet ribbon is May Arts, and the designer paper is from the Madeline paper pad by K & Company.

So, that's it for me tonight! I'm off to find something for dinner.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A Louisiana Christmas Card!

I have loved this stamp since I first saw it. You see, the Pelican is the state bird for Louisiana, so it makes the *perfect* Louisiana Christmas card, doesn't it?
The image is Impression Obsession's Winter Pelican . I stamped it three times...once on watercolor paper, once on Twilight Prismatics Light, and once on Twilight Prismatics Medium .


The image stamped on watercolor paper was cut out and colored with Tombow Markers then blended with a damp paint brush.
In this image you can see where I cut apart the two impressions stamped on Twilight cardstock, and put them together at the water line.

This lats image shows you how I placed the pelican image, before it was watercolored.

I added some Stardust Stickles to the water line and waves, and put a little Liquid Applique on his hat.

The red cardstock used is Prismatics Classic Red and the blue is all three shades from the Prismatics Twilight Trio .

I hope your week is off to a good start! Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog today!

Noel Charity

Well it was definitely a stamping kind of day here today! It has been raining all day long, and there is a slight chill in the air as if fall is really coming! So I took advantage of the weather, stayed inside and stamped! As if I needed an excuse! LOL!Isn't this a sweet image? It is from the new Noel 2009 Christmas Collection by Sarah Kay, and it's called Noel Charity . I stamped on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored with Tombow Markers . The edges of the oval were distressed with Tea Dye Distress Ink . The only other thing I did to the stamped image was a little detailing on the white parts of her hat and between the bricks using my White Opaque Pen .

The designer paper is from the Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses paper pad. The cardstock is all three shades from the Crabapple Prismatics paper trio. The ribbon is May Arts Pink Crochet .

The snowflakes were punched from McGill punches, then covered with Diamond Glaze and sprinkled with Krystallos Vintage Glass . While the diamond glaze was still wet, I also sprinkled Crystal Ultrafine Glitter on top. You can click on the pictures to get a larger view. I just LOVE those snowflakes! LOL!

I'm off to catch up on the housework I didn't do this weekend, and hopefully a little time for the many Google Reader posts I haven't yet read.

Thanks for stopping by. I will be back tomorrow with something new.
