Happy Birthday Simply Betty!

I have been a fan of this company since the beginning... I love their stamps and I bought these a LONG time ago and I whipped one out to help them celebrate their birthday.I colored Rio with copics and I used a die cut for the gigantic cupcake. I added the pearls with Viva Decor and glittery icing and of course... a cherry on top! So happy birthday Simply Betty ... and many MOOOOOORRRRREEEEEEE!

Hey Big Spender...

OHHHH... how much more could I love this Sugar Daddy set from Bombshell? I LOVED coloring it and embellishing it and just giving this guy his personality! It was really fun to make the money look like he was just throwing it all around...(my kinda guy...LOL) and holding his winning hand!

I used crystal effects on his eyes,nose and tongue to give them a realistic look. I added the rhinestone ribbon slide to compliment his flashy wardrobe and here he is... in all his glory! Thanks for popping in and have a great day!

I am SOOOO Glad That I FINALLY ...

I had this image colored for a while and then I finally decided to make it into a card and i am so glad that I did! i had a blast using all of my copics to deck her out and then i used glitter and ribbon and punched and here she is!

And here is a close up of the little darling! How cute is she with her seahorse pet?
