Paper Makeup's Melody in 2 Challenges!

I used Paper Makeup's Melody in the Die Cuts R Us sketch challenge and the copic color challenge. I LOVE this little fairy and the birdie that she is singing to is so sweet! This color combo made me feel very springy so I got out the flower soft and the butterflies and away we went! I added the calla lilies around the oval frame and then I used the butterfly die cuts to fill in and make the oval that was shown in the sketch that can be seen here. I love doing challenges and I have over 200 copic markers... so I am always looking to pout them to good use and the copic color challenge lets me do just that! I LOVE to color and going to copic certification really helped me learn how to use the colors that compliment and contrast to make the best of the markers and the images that I am working with! I used Shimmerz on her wings and on some of the butterflies

for the embossed areas. Thanks so much for stopping by today and have a wonderful butterfly filled day!

Hey... Wait a Minute... An Easter Card???

OK... I KNOW that Easter is over... but I LOVE this stamp. I REALLY love it! This is from DRS and I made this card and before I knew it, Easter was over... I never got a chance to show this card... and there it sat. Well, I could not let that happen, so here it is! I stamped the cross with flower image and then I colored it with Copics and SHIMMERZ. I used my nesties for the ovals and my SU scallop punch for the yellow border. I cuttlebugged the background and used gel and glitter pens for detail. I painted SHIMMERZ onto a piece of paper and punched these little butterflies out. I secured them at the middle and let the wings stay 3-D. I Love that punch and it really adds a lot of dimension to the card! thanks for checking out my post for today and let me tell ya how good it is to be back home in Charlotte!

Oh yeah... Check out the DRS Blog on Monday for the new challenge!PEACE!

This DRS Saying CRACKS ME UP!

I love this card. I love the stamp from DRS & Dustin Pike and this sentiment for DRS is too MUCH! This just makes me giggle! It is a pretty quick and easy card. I used my new nesties for the shape for the monkeys to stand in and I cuttlebugged the background. I golored the monkeys with gamsol and colored pencils and added some shimmerz to the ears and tummies for a little dimension. I stamped the phrase, cut it out and raised it up with pop dots... pretty quick... but so funny! What a great card to

send a friend to lift their spirit! Have a good one y'all and heed the phrase... I believe I will!
