Ariela Mermaid Card

This card I created using a beautiful image from Conie Fong, called Ariela Mermaid. You can purchase the image here https://www.etsy.com/listing/477134937/sale-digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp?ref=related-4 and it's on sale for only $2.50!!! If you've never seen Coni Fong's art, you are in for a delight. She is absolutely amazing!!!
I printed the image onto water color paper, then used water color pencils to color her in. I didn't go over the whole image with water, because for me, it gets too blurry, so only in the areas that I really wanted to darken up, and I used the water and brush sparingly. To cut her out, and the back ground boarder I used the Hunulu 8 pcs Metal Ellipse Cutting Dies Stencils that I purchased from Amazon. I really do like the way these dies cut, and they are priced low, which helps...a lot. My background paper...I wish I could tell you what background paper I used, but I honestly can't remember. It was a pack that I'd purchased from Michaels. The saying was printed onto a pink cardstock and cut using
another die. The flowers were also a die for rolled flowers. I tried to find the information on the last two dies I used so I could share it with you, but could not find the information. I'm sure you could find similar on Amazon, they have just about everything right? :-) On the side I used some thin ribbon, and tied a bow. Pretty simple, and my friend loved it.

Sympathy cards

I created these cards after I had received the very sad news that my best friends grandfather had passed away. (I really dislike that saying, I prefer "has gone to the other side". My BFF and her grandmother are heart broken right now, so any prayers you could send their way would be very much appreciated ❤️ Cards made with white cardstock that I used an embossing folder. Added two pieces of translucent ribbon. Used my butterfly die with pink and white cardstock and the other card I used green and white cardstock. The embellishments are also white cardstock, cut with dies. The sympathy quote I did with my silhouette machine and pens, then cut it out with a die.💔 *Sorry about the typo errors that were in this. I originally typed it up on my phone, late at night.

Thinking of you card - Santoro Gorjuss Stamp Ladybird

Yay it's Thursday!!! For most it's just the day before Friday, but for me it IS my Friday!!! This has been a long work week, so I'm glad to see it come to an end. Okay now onto this Thinking of You card I created. I used my Santoro Gorjuss Stamp - Ladybird. I stamped her onto white cardstock and then colored her in with colored pencils. I also used a black gel pen for the dots on her dress and her shoes. After I completed her coloring I hand cut her out (razor blade). I also decided to cut out the outer layer of her dress and used a glitter yellow cardstock in its place. I secured it together with double sided tape. The background papers are both from a pad of scrapbook paper from Michaels. I've had it so long, and have used it so much, that I no longer have the cover, so I can't tell you which pad it came from. One I cut the full size of the card, and the second I just did a wide strip. I then added a medium width silk ribbon. It's been in a drawer for a...

No Worries Card

So shark week is coming to an end. It is something that myself and husband watch every year, and thoroughly enjoy. I found the above image on Pinterest and decided it would make a GREAT card to celebrate the end of shark week. I colored her in with Copics, Blick Studio Markers, and Gel Pens. I cut her out with a die I purchased from Wish.com, the flower is also a die from Wish.com. The papers, and sentiment came from Coastal Premium Stack cardstock. This is a beautiful pad of cardstock that I highly recommend. I purchased it at Michaels. Copics were used on skin- E000, E00, E93 Happy Crafting ~Chantel~
