For the Little People!

Hi, it's Roxie here and I have a couple cards showing images for the kids.

To give to the little person.   


Copics used for the image panel: Zebra - E02,31,33, black 110, C3,5, Shading - B21,41, blender, Grass - G03,05,09

The line embossing on the edge was done with the Scor-Pal.

The greenery with the flowers was cut with the Martha Stewart - Branch punch. The tiny blue flowers are also punched but no name is on the punch which was a gift. The flowers were attached with Aleene’s tacky glue.


Paper: Remember When – black textured, Stampin Up – blue, Beckett Expressions – white for image, The Paper Company designer paper for insert
Ink: Memento –Tuxedo Black

***
And to welcome a new little person.

Nestabilites were used to cut all the layers and emboss them. I glued a piece of scrap cardstock on the left underside of the scalloped panel so it lies even on the card since the right side is resting on the rick rack layer.

EK Success Zig Zag punch was used to cut the rick rack and it’s glued to the card with Aleene’s tacky glue.

The sentiment is a digi image from Eureka Stamps and it’s colored with Copic markers.

Copic used: sentiment – BG11,13, giraffes – YR23,31, E31,33, shading BG11


Paper: Bazzill – white textured, Collections – textured colors

Ink: Memento – Tuxedo white for image, computer for sentiment

Mallard Duck

Happy Thursday!

The end of the week is nearly here!  I am looking forward to the long weekend!
We are meeting my daughter and my two sisters in San Luis Obispo.  Really looking forward to seeing them!

I have a quick and easy card that has a lot of impact to share with you today.
This image is Mallard  by Eureka Stamps.

It's such a great image that I kept the card really simple so it wouldn't take away from the duck!


This is a great "GUY" card.  Leave as it is or add a sentiment...birthday, father's day...or just because.
I get a lot of use our of this stamp and it's available in rubber or digi!

The entire image was colored with Copic Markers.

Thanks for stopping by!

Flowering Vine

Hello blog friends!
Today I'm showing you a card that I made with 2 stamps from
"Flowering Vine" (#19704)
and
"Life is Good" (#16307)
I stamped the Flowering Vine onto white cardstock and colored it with FlexMarkers, layered it onto some blue polka dotted cardstock and adhered it to my card base.
This is when I ran into the question of the sentiment.
I wanted the vine to run up the card, because these are Morning Glories and the ones that we had in my yard when I was a kid, grew up the fence.
But once I added the sentiment I started to think the card looked better as a horizontal card. I guess it could be used as either.
What do you think? Leave me a comment and let me know which way you would use this card. Vertical or horizontal?
Thanks for stopping by today, come again soon.

Blessings

Hi! I hope you are having a lovely day!
Today I'm showing you a card I made with 2 images from
I used "Heart Bouquet" (#18302)
and "Blessings" (#33902)
I used FlexMarkers to color the Heart Bouquet and printed Blessings from my computer, as it is a digital image which also comes in red rubber.
I love the digital images for sentiments. You can size them to whatever size and color you want. I thought about matching up the pink to print the Blessings, but the color just didn't show well.
You can also get "Heart Bouquet" in digital form.
I like to use the rubber stamps for my images, especially if I will be using alcohol ink markers to color them.
Stop in to Eureka! Stamps and check out the images, there are sure to be some that you will love. Whether it is red rubber or digital, there will be something for you!
Thanks for stopping by today!
Leave a comment if you wish. Come back soon!

Another Ewe

Happy Thursday!

I hope your week has been going well.  I am looking forward to the weekend and hoping to have time to stamp!  
I am starting to stock up on cards to send to my son while he is away at college and this is one that I made.  Like most 17 year old boys he doesn't like bright, froo-froo cards.  I think he'll like this one because it's monochromatic and simple.



Stamps:
Sheep by QKR Stampede
Another Ewe by QKR Stampede
Paper:
Bazzill Basic card stock
Neenah White card stock
Ink:
Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink
Copic markers
Other:
black brads
Offray Gingham ribbon
Spellbinders dyes

I love this sheep stamp and there are lot's of cute sentiments to go with it in the store too!

Thanks for stopping by today!
