Hearts all Around

This cute little Kidz Heart from Bugaboo was created for our current Crafty Creations Challenge that we have going on.

When I seen this little image I thought I could put hearts all around her feet as if she were standing in a pool of hearts while holding one really big Valentine Heart.  Isn't she just darling.

I colored her with my Copic Markers, inked the edges with distress inks.  Cut a bunch of little hearts from white card stock and inked them with the same inks, then glued them all around her feet.

I layered the image with other papers that I had in my stash.  Used a word die from my stash added glossy accents to some of the hearts and then to the Love Die.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you like my little creation.  Please feel free to hop on over to Crafty Creations Challenges and join in on our challenge.  We'd love to see your creations.

Pretty in Pink

I created this cute little Ballerina for our Crafty Creations Challenge that we are having.  It is from Kinda Cute Cards by Patricia.

I wanted to incorporate a bit of a Valentine theme and decided to use my Love die from Simon Says Stamp, along with some pink and black CS and of course a pink dancing costume.

After printing the image I used various Copic markers from the RV family.  The papers are from my stash.

I wanted to add a bow on the front of the card.  Don't all Ballerina's have a bow somewhere.

I think the black CS really makes the pink pop on this card, don't you.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope I have inspired you and you stop over at Crafty CreationsChallenges and join in on our Challenge #358.  As always the theme is Anything Goes and we look forward in seeing what you create.

Hugs,

Believe

Hi there I have a Crafty Creations Challenges Design Team card to share with you today.  The image is from Bugaboo and is called Elf 001.  I love how this little elf is running around with a string of ornaments like he just isn't sure what to do with them.

I colored my little elf with Copic markers keeping this card clean and simple. Added a little glitter to the trim on his hat, glossy accents to the ornaments and the bells on his shoes and hat.

Layered up a few papers I found in my stash and added the colored image on top of the layers.  Then I topped it off with a Simon Says Die - Believe.  The die is so cool, it has what is called bubble that fits right behind the word die, giving it more dimension.  I stamped the rest of the sentiment with a sentiment in the Believe Stamp Set and popped it up like the die with some foam tape.

Please remember to come join us over at Crafty Creations Challenges #356 for our monthly challenge.  As always our theme is Anything Goes.  We look forward in you joining in on our challenge and can't wait to see what you have created.

See you next time.

Halloween Witch Scene

Hello there, Kathy here for Crafty Creations Challenges.  I have chosen this cute little witch scene from Bugaboo Stamps who just happens to be our sponsor for Challenge #350.

When I seen this image, I knew I wanted to create a night scene. First I took a piece of water color paper and masked off a large circle for the moon.  I inked the background using Tim Holtz Distress inks, in Stormy Sky, Faded Jeans and Black Soot.  Then I cut a a hillside using the Stitched Hillside border and grassy border from Lawn Fawn.  I inked them up with Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Forest Moss and Black Soot.  Then I distressed each piece with the Distress Spray Bottle.  Once I finished distressing the background and ground, I watered down the moon and added some Antique Linen, Squeezed Lemonade and very water downed Black Soot to create my moon.

After creating the background I colored the images with various Copic markers.  Then I did some fuzzy cutting.  Yes that's right I cut each piece out.  I DO NOT LIKE FUSSY CUTTING.  In fact I hate it, but I knew what I wanted and how I wanted my scene to look so I just decided to do it and really it wasn't that bad at all.

I embellished the windows with Wink of Stella and added some Black Glaze Pen to the eyes and the fence trim under the window on the house.

I glued the hillside border down then I glued the house and witch down.  After adding all the images I popped up the grassy border right in front of the fence she is sitting on.

I really like the way this turned out and I hope you do too.  I love fall and Halloween.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you come on over to Crafty Creations Challenges and join in on Challenge 350.  We would love to have you play along with us.

Hugs,

Kathy

Forever Friends

Have you ever felt like a good book could be your best friend.  That would be my daughter.  She loves her books and she loves to read.  Seems like she always has her nose stuck in a book.  This cute little Bugaboo Image Kidz 3 Sitter reminds me of when she was little.  She had so many books that the stack was almost bigger than she was.

I created this card for our Crafty Creations Challenges, #348, theme as always Anything Goes.

I actually used 2 Bugaboo images for this card.  Not only did I use Kidz 3 Sitter, but also Book Stack.

After printing the image, I colored her with various Copic Markers.

Skin E11, 21, 00 & 000

Cheeks E95 & 93

Hair:  Y11, 21, 26, 28, YR21 & E55

Background:  E43, 42, 41, 40 & W0

Reds:  R59, 39, 29, 17 & 14

Grays:  N8, 6, 4, 2, 1 & 0

Blues:  B97, 95, 93 & 91 

Greens:  YG67, 63, G94 & 21

Yellows:  YR24, 21, Y17 and a touch of E35

When the coloring was finished I began the layering.  I cut the image out using a Mama Elephant die from the All Prettied Up collection.  The tag was a pre-cut tag, I just colored it up with the red markers, cut the sentiment (unknown) with black and dark brown CS, which I off-set, then adhered them to the tag.  Attached the image with foam tape to the pattern piece of paper (unknown), then layered it to a solid dark red CS and glued that to my card base.  Added a few buttons and this card was finished.
