Sparkle, girly and blue!

Hello! I hope everyone in blog land is doing well! I have a card for you today!!

I usually find myself doing the same kind of things over and over. And I sometimes catch myself doing challenges that only fit what I already do! I have a lot of stuff that I don't use often enough. So I'm working on choosing challenges or combinations of challenges that push me to try something different! You probably won't see any major changes in my style (don't expect to see anything vintage anytime soon) but just trying some new ideas and combinations and things. Anyway today I combined a Girly and Sparkly challenge with a blue and white color challenge and a sketch challenge!!!! Crazy!!!! Not really cuz it turned out super cute!! 

I messed up on the sentiment (reasons I want a MISTI) but it still looks cool. So I left it! 

Stamp: The greeting farm, I'm not sure where the sentiment is from 

Ink: Copic, Memento Nautical Bue

Paper: from the stash

Accessories: Sparkle N Sprinkle Cloud Nine, and Lightning Blue

Bicycles!!

Here where I live in Wisconsin got hit by a pretty nasty ice/snow storm earlier this week. Now generally I don't mind snow. But when the ice gets involved it's not cool. I also appreciate it more when it comes before Christmas not after.  Anyway that's not what your here to read about. You want this.

 

 Simple but cute and somewhat spring and summery. 

Now Supplies:

Stamp: Sparkle n Sprinkle Bicycle Black and White (It's a digi) 

Ink: Printer Ink, Copic Markers 

Paper: White thick card stock from Office Depot, Doodlebug Design

I promised another card today didn't I. :) I'm having some family over later for some family crafting time. So I should have a pretty strong store up of cards and posts for you all! Anywho. Onto the card.

It's really simple the Stamp is a digital stamp from Operation Write Home. I colored it with Copics (Of course right. Although I'm super intrigued by those new Spectrum Noir Blendable Pencils anyone have any experience with them?) Anyway, color list time.

Watering Can: R29 and R27
Stems: G07
Flower Centers: YR18
Yellow Flower: Y15, Y13, and Y11
Green Flower: G05, G07, G09
Blue Flower: B26, B24

I'm not sure where the Thinking of You stamp is from... (I'm guessing it's Fiskers because that's where most of my unknown stamp sets are from.) And the color is Memento Grape Jelly.

I think that's everything... The Card base is from Joann's and the paper with the water can on it is from Office Max and I guess my printer played a part since the stamp came from my computer.

Red White and Blue

This card was really easy to put together. The stamp is from La La Land I colored her hair, skin, and shirt with copics and her pants I colored with tombow markers and the grey on her shoes is a silver glitter gel pen. I cut her out using scalloped circles nesties and my cuttlebug. About half way through putting on all the glitter I realized I could make my own red white and blue glitter so I made it and used it for the rest of the card. The little blue bling is from Want 2 Scrap.

Wedding Card

We had a family friend get married a few weeks ago and so I made her a card and here it is.

Once again the card base is pre bought the bigger blue paper is DCWV glitter mat stack the other blue paper is just Joann essentials I think... I stamped the background with Big and Bossy tinted embossing Ink and heat embossed with some Joann's silver embossing powder. The big sticker is from Joliee's Boutique which I believe my mom bought from walmart.

Long Time No See

Whew! It's been a long a time since I posted. I'm afraid I lost my crafting mojo for a bit but after getting a bunch of fun crafty things for my birthday yesterday I think It's coming back. I've also been pretty busy with the show I've been working on... We've been having trouble getting volunteers to work backstage but things are starting to look up with that. I also have some crafty things to make for the show. I'll make sure to take some pictures and show them off when I get a chance.  I also want to mention that I've joined a blogging group over at splitcoaststampers Check out all the lovely ladies of Chics with Paper Power Tools over in my side bar.

Now on to what you really care about. My card.

Pretty Cute.
What I used:
Card Base: Pre bought
Paper: DCWV glitter mat stack, Generic white paper
Stamp: Paper Squirrel digital freebie
Extras: I don't really have a clue where that eyelet is from.... I'm going to guess Joanns... and I colored her with markers and colored pencils of no specific brand because I colored her a long time ago...
