Whew, It's Not My Birthday!

Hello My Dear Followers!

It's my turn over on the Art Impressions Blog to post. So today I'm sharing with you a simple card using the Millie (sku#1932) stamp and What A Feelin' (sku#1942) sentiment stamp from Art Impressions. I love this old gal and how she is jumping for joy!

The paper I used is older and from my stash. I inked all the edges of the papers with Tim Holtz mini distress ink in peacock feathers. My only embellishments this time was a few pearls, Wink of Stella in clear glitter on Millie's skirt and Glossy Accents on her glasses.

I love this sentiment! It's a great feeling when it's not your birthday, especially as the years are adding up these days! I kept the inside simple and added a small part of Millie stamped in peacock feathers distress ink to the bottom corner of the card.

Copics used:

Skin: E00, E11, R20, RV17

Hair: E43, E44, E47

Top: BG11, BG13, BG15

Skirt & ruffles: R22, R24

Shoes: C1, C3

Ground: C0, C1

Shadow around image: BG000

Bunny Blooms

Howdy!

Today starts another new challenge over on the High Hopes Stamps Blog. The Challenge this month is "Anything Goes". I decided to get a start on my Easter cards. This card uses the High Hopes image Bunny Blooms, and sentiment Blessed Easter Script.

I've had this die for awhile now and finally decided to use it! I love all the circles and filled them with coordinating paper from the Doodle Bug "Hello Sunshine" 6x6 paper pad.

Inside of card

Instead of colouring the bunny with my Copic markers I decided to paper piece him. Paper piecing is such a fun technique and easy to do! Just stamp your image onto patterned paper and fussy cut it out. Then all you have to do is glue it onto a pre-stamped image. I did colour a bit with my markers though. There's a little bit of clear Wink of Stella Glitter Pen on the tulips.

Copics Used:

Tulips: RV23, RV25, RV29, Y13, Y15, Y17

Inside of ears & cheeks: R20, R21

Nose & eyes: Black Sakura Gel pen

Teeth: White Uniball marker pen

Golden Oldies!

TGIF!

Today I am sharing with you my card using the super cute Birthday Couple (Sku#1920) image! They remind me so much of my Grandparents! The gentleman looks like he is a real prankster and my Grandpa was just like that with his "dry" sense of humour!

What makes me laugh the hardest is the sentiment "Teeth Flew Out (Sku#1936) that I used on the inside! My Grandpa had false teeth and as a child I remember seeing them sitting in a cup of water and was just amazed that He could take out his teeth!
