Chillin'

Hi and welcome to my blog. I was in Charleston, SC this past weekend and boy was it hot there! I would have loved to be like this little mouse just chillin' in the water.

I colored the image using Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. I found the scrap of swirled paper in my stash that was perfect for the water. I added die cut clouds and some are pop dotted for dimension. I added a butterfly charm to the cord and colored it with yellow and green Sharpie markers.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Enjoy your day!!!!

Flower Shaped Card

Hi Everyone! Welcome to my blog. I love shaped cards and you can make so many different shaped cards these days using all the wonderful dies out there. I made a flower shaped card using Spellbinders Blossom 3 dies. I placed the large flower die on red folded card stock and made sure the cutting edge was on the top of the fold so that when it was cut, the card would open. I cut 2 more smaller shapes using patterned paper and yellow paper.

I love the cute hedgehogs from Penny Black. I used this one from the Wonderful Day stamp set. I cut out the image using the Gina Marie Stitched Circle Die. I went around the stitching with a fine point Sharpie pen. This was pop dotted to the center of the card. The snail was also pop dotted to the card. The butterfly was cut using Tim Holtz's Butterfly Frenzy die and added to the bow.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!
