Thanks a Bunch

Hello Friends!  I'm participating in the WaltzingMouse Stamps' Blog Party, and the theme for this month is Teacher Appreciation.  It's a difficult theme for me as I have left school a looooong time ago, and I don't know what kids and parents give their teachers these days. 

 

But, if I were to make a card for a teacher, I think this would be it :)

It's a little girl saying thanks to her teacher and she's standing in front of a blackboard :)  The colours on the blackboard aren't showing up well on the photo (I don't have my camera with me, just the faithful iphone).  The girl image is from Half Pint Heroines, and she was coloured with Copic Markers.

Perhaps this close-up shot might be a little clearer.  I stamped the sentiment (from Compact Sentiments set) and white embossed it.  Actually I found the white embossing powder has turned a little yellow, and I quite like the effect.  Then I stamped the little bird from Half Pint Heroines with white ink and coloured it with metallic colourpencils.  I promise you the effect is pretty good in real life!  I embossed the frame of the blackboard with some score lines using Scor-pal to give it some dimension.  I added some distressing on the girl image for a more vintage look, seeing I've left school ages ago... hehe.

The patterned paper is from Graphic 45 - An ABC primer, which helps to create the scene for this card.

Thank you for stopping by.  Please join me to check out all the Amazing creations at the WMS Blog.

Have fun!

I'm also submitting this card for the Simon Says Stamp challenge - Flower Power.

Be True

Happy that I finally get to stamp and colour one of the Fashionista girls!!  Love them all!  This is Fashionista Anastasia, so glamorous and so chic.  I gave her a pink and red dress and I think she looks kinda fabulous.

It doesn't show up on the photo, but I added some sparkle around her with the Rock Candy stickles.  Anastasia is coloured with Copic Markers:
Hair - E21, E23, E99, E27
Skin - E50, E01, E13, R21
Boots - R21, R22, R24, Colourless blender
Dress - R30, R32, C1, R21, R22, R24
Background - YG0000

The sentiment is from the set Imperfection is beauty, and I adhered the strip to a piece of old lace from my mum's sewing box ;)

Now, it's time to check out the Unity Friends With Flair post for some Amazing projects.

A Season and A Time

Hello!  This week's Inspired Stamps project, we're sharing Layered Cards with Scripture.  On my card, I used the Scripture from the recent release set "Time" and the brand new "HLO : Girl With Star".

Here's another view of the card to show the layers:

To view more ideas on Layered Cards, please visit the Inspired Stamps Blog - I'm sure you will be inspired, and perhaps you'll add some layering onto your project this week.

Enjoy!

Thinking of You

Hello!  Just a short post to show a card I made over the weekend.  It's a Wee Stamps digital image called Flower Fairies.  Isn't she adorable?  I know the colouring isn't the best, must be the hot weather :) and it's hard to sit for long.

I'm submitting this to the Simon Says Stamp challenge - Things with Wings.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are having a lovely day!

Because I Care

Happy Friday!  I'm so glad it's time for Unity Friends with Flair (but, oops the link is not up yet, well nevermind ;)).  My card uses the image from Phyllis Harris set - I will Give You My Heart.  She's totally cute!

The sentiment is from Blossom by Blossom set, and I think it goes so well with the PH image.  The Copic Markers I used are :

Hair : E27, YR24, E25, E21

Skin : E50, E01, E13, R21

Heart : R32, R35

Dress : BG32, BG11, R35, R32

This card is based on the Unity challenge sketch below:

Have a lovely weekend!
