Tiddly ink #3

Here is my 3rd card for Tiddly inks DT call.

Tiddly Inks has a DT call.

So excited, Tiddly Inks has had a DT cal and I'm counting myself in. Been laid up for awhile so I have had loads of time to colour.I just love Halloween, so choosing Betty Belfrey  was an easy choice for me. I have done her up 3 different ways, all cards are 6x6, gives me lots of room to dress them up, without overwhelming the card.

So my Inspiration card is the Fabby  50's Gabby. Really does remind me of being a kid. Fast food drive ins, with side window trays, even trays that went right through the car to feed those in both the front seat and the back. Whoop!

Here she is, 50's Gabby!

I saw a posting for Conie Fong Stamps new challenge for the month of March, and I just had to join in the fun.
You can find her new digital items here .

I had coloured up this little beauty  in Feb before the challenge was posted. I thought it was really funny how I ended up using the same colours as the challenge announcement page. I have been asked what papers I used, they are from Graphic 45, Secret Garden collection. I love that one of the papers had this lovely picture of the calendar for March. It is hiding just below the rim of her hat. It was just perfect!

 

Truly, madly, deeply

Hi there, I am posting another ADU card today. I may be a bit early with a Valentines Day card, but when I saw this image I just knew what I wanted to do with her.You can find her at All Dressed Up here https://www.etsy.com/shop/alldressedupstamps.

 

All Dressed Up winter girl

Hello, I am posting a card I made using a digital image from "All Dressed Up". You can find all their beautiful images here https://www.etsy.com/shop/alldressedupstamp

 This little beauty inspired me to create a wintry themed card. the colours I chose remind me of the brown bare trees, bright blue sky's, and the little bits of white that is the reminiscent, of a light dusting of snow. This little girl is from the set of the three little party girls, and she is most definitely ready to party in her velvety brown skirt.

Thank you for the consideration of my application for your DT gang.



                                                               
The adorable Arielle Ice Skater

This is Bella Snowbunny.

Hey all, just catching up on a few cards\i made of the last few week that some how got pissed being posted.These images just happen to all be from Oddballs Lizzy Love, Checkout her work at Etsy.

Oddballs in July

July is here, and with it my card makes for Oddballs Design Team. For some time now I have wanted to work with Lizzy's Halloween stamps, so that is just what I did. Month's ahead of my favorite time of year I created 2 cards for the spooky season. The first one I called Ghoul Friends, I made this card using Lizzy's image #92. It was fun to do up her ghoulish eyes, no need to worry about blending oot her eye. Just those big rings of colour give her Ghoulish look for sure.

The second card I used the image of 66B. I turned this Freekstien creation in to a Frankenteen Rock Star! He plays guitar for a sold out show of the popular "Moldy Bones", reminds me of my days Rock shows and seeing the Moody Blues!!!!

 For later in the month I used Frankie # 66 B again and gave him a more manly look. He  and his crow "Nevermore" are lurking around waiting for Halloween to come along.

 Maybe they will be going to the Moldy Bones concert!

Sharing some All Dressed Up love

Good afternoon!!! I wanted to share with you a card I just made for an All dressed up challenge. I actually won the stamp for winning a recent challenge. So I thought that I would make up a card and share it. I love steampunk, so I gave her a little "punky" edge. I really wanted to keep that feel going so I kept the colour palette soft and not soft as in pastels. Soft like the colours they would have dressed in the Victorian times.

Guest Designer for All Dressed Up

To my surprise  I have been asked to be a Guest Designer for this months All Dressed Up challenge.The image that I choose is the "3 Little Christmas Girls". When you buy them you get the 3 little girls image along with each character individually. I used the image of the center character all dressed up in her Tutu. I thought that she was just perfect for the card I had in my mind.

I used my Copics, some water colour pencils, ranger distress inks, a couple of other stamps, and a   die cut and some masking fluid in the background.Add some stickles and bling, a ribbon, done!

Reminds me so much of the days when my daughter danced, fun to capture this with the stamp. You can find this lovely as well as many more cute images to play with at

 https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/alldressedupstamps?ref=l2-shopheader-name.

Hop on over and have browse, lots to dream about!

pixies and mushrooms

I have some new cards that I made for Oddball Stamps by Lizzy love! The first one is my take on her lovely image of Nixie the Pixie, image #217. I took some of the components of the  digi stamp and blew them up. That is the really cool thing about using digi stamps, you don't have to use the whole image every time.You can also shrink things or blow them up!!! How fun is that. Anyway here she is Nixie.

I also did something completely different with the image for the next card/tag. For this one I used the mushrooms from #217 and blew them up. I also swapped Nixie out for Hadley #110B. I did not use the clouds and I also reversed the image of Hadley. The over all feel is more like an Alice in wonderland, with a little bit of steampunk thrown in for good measure.

Happy Mothers Day with ADU

I just found "All Dressed Up" digital stamps. I am so new to the digi world that it seems everyday I learn about a new (to me) site. Their current challenge is to make a Mothers Day card. The image that I chose is "I Love my Puppy". I chose this image because my mom loves dogs. We always had a dog growing up and I had a dog of my own "Amy" who lived to the ripe old age of 15. These days mom lives in an assisted living complex. so no more puppies.

My card is a simple one, kind of shabbied up a bit, coloured with Copics, the flower is a Tim die, the sentiment is one i did up on a word program. Doing a shabby gives me the opportunity to use up scraps and my stash. This sweet image lent itself to the colour palette that  I chose, bright, colourful and most of all Happy!!!

You too can get this  fabby little girl and her puppy along with many more here.     http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/210041806/scrapbooking.html

Hip to be square,shabby style!!!

Here is my card for Oddball DT for Facebook, mid May reminder.The images that I used by Lizzy love are #203 and #110B. I found myself in a Shabby Chic mood, so I pulled some scraps (because that is all you really need). Roughed up the edges, applied some of Tims distress inks , gave everything a good spritz of water and let the magic happen. The "roses" are a direct inspiration from the bow in her hair, infact that is what led to ordering her.I "saw" the roses in my head and knew I needed to make them fo this card. I used the same distress inking on them, add a pearl or two okay three, and a bow. The sentiment is from Graphic 45, the back ground is found in #203 and I backed it all the a scallop shape. I used water colour paper for the card and water coloured it.  it was fun to do something shabby for a change, if you have not tried it , give it a go sometime.
