Sweets for My Sweet!

 Hey Bloggy Friends!
I excited to say I finally got to use my Tiddly Inks stamp set on a card! I made this card for the fabric Challenge over at Designed to Color. I decided to incorporate fabric into my card by making a rolled flower out of T-shirt fabric and the placed some self adhesive pearls in the center. I added some sewing detail on the border of my card with my sewing machine and I just love how it looks! I colored Wryn with my Copic sketch markers and paper pieced her dress with some My Minds Eye.

The Candies are from the same stamp set and they were also Copic Colored and I added some stickles to add a little Bling!

The background paper is by Donna Salazar/GCD studio. I really love wood grain patterns nothing inspires me more than nature ( No surprise though because God is the Ultimate Artist :-) ). I pulled out my Spellbinders Labels one die and did a little bit of die cutting for the background shape.

My rolled Flower with some Pearl Bling! I hope you guys find some inspiration in my card and join some Challenges!

Creating Your Own Unique Custom Craft Papers!

Hey Bloggy Friends!

I've been a bit busy lately so I haven't posted as much but I thought it was time for a fun tutorial! I really love create my own background papers for my cards ( yes I use designer paper) but every once in a while I like to create something uniquely my own. Whether you want to doodle or feel more comfortable using stamps to create your own custom paper ( I personally enjoy doing both) anyone can really have fun doing this so I hope you enjoy seeing some of my custom papers!

(From left to Right) The first ( and 3rd) papers are a mix of doodles, stamping and paper piecing.While the very Middle paper is just primarily stamping and  embossing. 

To create this paper I used a background stamp from Inkadinkado which I heat embossed using some Stampendous embossing powder in (Detailed White Opaque). The mix of pink and purple was created with some Lindy's Mica powder (Purple Teal) and Rangers Dylusion spray in ( Crushed Grape). I also used Liquid Pearls (White Opal, Petal Pink, Lavender Lace) to create a dimensional affect.

This paper is primarily made of up of my Doodles which I made with my (Copic Multiliners). I did use a stamp to  do some heat embossing in the same white embossing powder I used in the paper ( Above). To create the washed out color affect I used Dylusions ( Cut Grass & fresh lime) and Lindy's (Hydrangea Blue).

I just Adore how this paper came out! I used one of my very favorite stamps on this ( It's one of my fav's because it's so versatile). I decide to do some paper piecing on this custom paper just to show you ways you can incorporate even your designer paper and turn it into something that's still really uniquely your own ( I used some Amy Tangerine paper for this)! I added some of my doodles and did just a bit of Copic coloring ( I outlined the very edge of the paper with my Copic Multiliner). The pink and orange background was created with some Distress inks ( Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Wild Honey), I just used a paint brush and some water for this. I left the very middle of the stamp image blank because I haven't decided yet if I want to cut that piece out and create a window affect for a future card or not. 

I created one extra Custom paper you don't see pictured here ( but will see in my YT video) because I will be using it for my next card post so be sure to check back very soon and I hope this may have inspired to create some of your own paper or even use your designer paper in a new way! Thanks for Stopping by...

Kaylee Rocks!

Hi everyone! It's Sandra here and today I want to share a card with you using one of my Some Odd Girl Digi stamps; Bicycle Kaylee. I colored up Kaylee with my Copic Sketch markers and printed her out on Neenah; Solar White cardstock. I used  My Mind's Eye paper throughout my whole card and choose a mix of different patterns to play off one another. I really enjoyed incorporating our August Challenge Spots into my card!

I actually did quite a bit of fussy cutting on this card but it was totally worth it! The Leaves on the card are actually from the Some Odd Girl set; Believe ( those are my Go to leaves). Some of the Copic Sketch markers used; Bike V12,V15,V17, Dress YR02,YR04,YR07,W1, Skin YR00,YR000,YR01,BV00,R06,R20, Leaves & Jacket YG11,YG63,YG86.

Don't forget to play along with this month's challenge! :) Can't wait to see all of your lovely creations!

Mixed Media Art Journal "Embrace" Pages

These Mixed Media pages are called "Embrace". I have my art doodles throughout the pages and some stamping.I really enjoyed layering vintage book pages to my background with (Soft Gel Medium) to add texture.

I used a black sharpie and Copic Multi- liner  to draw my art doodles and add small details.

I created that tab with some vintage rubber stamps which I stamped in Memento (Rose bud and Bahama Blue). The twenty-six I created with some saved chain in my stash which was inspired by my recent birthday.( Below is Pt.2 of the video showing me creating these pages to see Pt.1 Click Here.)

Cloud Coloring Mini Challenge Entry

Hello Again!

Rock Royality!

Hey Bloggy friends!

Hope your all having a great weekend and enjoying Facebook Fun Day over at Some Odd Girl. If your crazy enough not to be playing along with them, then your missing out ( hehe). Because I'm having so much fun playing along with there mini challenges! I hope you guys enjoy this card I put together for the " Non Traditional Hair Challenge".

I choose one of my favorite Oddies " Royal " for this card but who am I kidding there all my favorite! The banners behind the sentiment were also stamped from another Some Odd Girl set which I actually rolled the ( mini banners) to create a ribbon like affect. I paper pieced royals dress from a 6x6 paper pad from My Minds Eye. I stamped,embossed and die cut the chandelier from a Hero Arts/Sizzix framelits set.

I really love how Royals funky hair came out! I wanted add just touches of green in her hair for a more " Rock Royality" type of look as I call it, hopefully this will inspire you not to be afraid to play with some color.

(Checkout my Youtube channel to watch me color "Royal" and for the list of Copic's used)

Thanks so much for Stopping by!

One of the first Cards I ever created.I'm very inspired by Birds..
