Bicycle Card

This is a card I made for a coworker for her uncle's 95th birthday.

I used OkieLadybugs Design Studio bicycle design, I used Doodlebug Velvet flock on the seat and handlebars. I also used stickles on the bike frame and to write in the 95 inside the frame. The background was done using Peeled Paint distress ink reinker and marbles.

The verse on the card is hard to see in the picture but the front of the card says "Go for a ride, go for a spin, but whatever you do..." Inside "Let the good times roll in! Happy Birthday"

13 days of Halloween lay out

This is a 6x6 layout I did for a 13 days of halloween book, my page was "and a big scary tree. I used the tree from Paper Doll Dress Up stretched a little in Design Studio, then I used the pumpkin and fence from PDDU also and also a pumpkin from Doodlecharms and used green stickles to color the stems. I hand wrote the saying with a silver metalic marker.

This is one of my first attempts at coloring a stamped image with the prisma pencils. Next time I will use a little less color and more shading. But I'm really happy with how vibrant the colors are.

These are the cards I made from my July "Summer Fun" card candies from a swap.

I've been playing with using my prismacolor pencils lately and using baby oil for blending lately. I also colored a couple images with watercolor pencils and an aquabrush. It takes a little practice to know how much color to put down but I'm really enjoying this technique.

A Halloween Card

A Halloween card made using paper pups.

This first project is a card organizer I made. I used directions from daniesdesign.typepad.com and modified them slightly. I used a grungeboard letter on the front and inked it with dewdrops chalk ink and of course attached primas.

This is a card front I made for a swap. I started with a piece of orange cardstock, inked the edges and stamped my images. I then used a transparency and ran it through my cuttle bug with the mini mosaic folder, then used alcohol inks and attached with brads. The alcohol inks I used were Rust, Currant and Copper Mixative.
