I created my card with the new Mer-may stamp sets.  I first stamped the images and sentiment onto white card stock with Black Ink.  For those of you who know me I colored with my Prisma Pencils.  The background is some pattern paper I had and it was perfect to go along with the Mermaids.  I added a couple of sequins and the Sentiment and it was done.. Thanks for stopping by and have fun!!!

Polkadoodle - Gnome Holding Carrots


Hey there what do you think of when it comes to Spring?  Do you think of flowers and gardening?  Do you think of all the colors that are starting to bloom? Well I have a Digital Image for you..Gnome Holding Carrots  Now is this not the perfect image it totally embodies Spring.  I also used the Dies called All You Need Is Love Dies (PD8863).  The Sentiment is from the set called Awesome Friends Sentiments (PD8847). I started this card by printing the image onto white card stock.  I colored the image with Prisma Pencils which I love..Have you ever just wanted to step outside of the box.. come just give those Pencils a whirl.  I used two of the Die Cuts from the set and I adhered everything and added some dimension.  Sentiment was stamped directly onto card base.  Thanks for stopping by

C.C Designs Henry Twila Birthday

 Henry Twila Birthday - Stamp set


Hey there first and foremost thanks for stopping by!!! Have you wondered what the heck am I going to do with this paper.  If you are anything like me I love buying pattern paper but struggle with using it.  Today I conquered the battle.  This is Twila sporting her Purple dress and accessorizing with a Pink balloon.  Pretty cute right?

Twila was stamped onto white card stock and colored with a new brand of colored pencils.  Ohuhu has put out their first tin of pencils so I thought let’s do this.  She turned out great but Prisma Pencils still win the Marathon in my world.  The price point is great on the Ohuhu Pencils but very limited for color choices.  They do blend but it takes work and patience.  That is all I am going to say about these pencils..ok one more thing would I buy them again probably  not I would put my money towards Prisma’s or Polychromo’s. Now back to HENRY TWILA BIRTHDAY This set is super cute it has a little Boy and Girl so you can make many different cards.  It has the perfectly matched sentiments to complement images.  Don’t waste time head over to the C.C SHOP and get yours.  I have kept you long enough hugs and have a COLORTASTIC DAY!!!!

Polkadoodles - Do Small Things with Love

 

Hello there..How many of you love Kraft Paper?  Kraft Paper is one of my favorites.  Have you ever wondered what distress inks would look like?  For this card I used the stencil called Sweet Circle Background (PD8891). I used Distress Inks and look how cool the colors look.  It is better to use the regular Distress Inks.  While that was drying I stamped the Images onto white card stock cut them out with Outline dies and colored them.  This set is called Do Small Things With Love A5 Outline Dies (PD8859) Once I had all the pieces I put the card together.  These products can be found at the Polkadoodle’s Shop.  Thanks for stopping by!!

Polkadoodles - Hey Lovely

 

Hello there..I was wondering how many of you out there love to color FLOWERS?  Sometimes they scare me but these ones well they called to me.  Polkadoodles has some really great sets and the nice thing is you can use them all together.  Now lets get down to the details of this card.  So the stamp set I used is called Hey Lovely PD8851 and the Die cut is called Love Heart Die PD8868.  The foliage around the flowers was cut using the Die called Cup of Kindness PD8869.  I stamped out multiple flowers onto white card stock with black ink.  I colored them with Inktense Pencils let them dry and proceeded to fussy cut them out. I cut out multiples of the die cuts.  Once I had everything ready I adhered the card together.  I really do love this card and had a lot of fun making it.  All of these products can be found in the  Polkadoodles shop along with crazy awesome goodies.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.
