Cornucopia

Todays card features another digital image from McMahon Five Designs, aptly named Cornucopia.  I colored the image using my water pen and chalk inks from Stampin' Up! I then cut the image out with my Big Shot using Spellbinders Label 16 and inking the inside with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  I then layered this on top of another die called Lattice Shapeabilities Pendant from Spellbinders.  The top background paper is from K & Company and the bottom is from Bazzill that was stamped using one of my favorite back ground stamps from Stampin' Up! with versamark.  The bow is from Celebrate It and for the last detail, three black dew drops.
That's it for now.

Cuteness!

 Oh my goodness, isn't she the cutest little girl!  She is a brand new image available over at M5D starting today. I paired her with some designer paper that I purchase last year from Michael's.  I added some adorable lace that reminded me of petticoats from Webster's Pages.  On top of that I 'stapled' Tempting Turqouis ribbon from SU.  And then a button to top it off.

Thanks for stopping in.  Have a great day!

It's beginning to look a little spooky

Happy September...eeek that means it's getting close to some holidays, starting with Halloween.  It's so fun to use colors that you wouldn't normally put together.  Bright orange and purple, wowsers!

The base of the card is Perfect Plum by Stampin' Up! I stamped with Dream Text by Stampendous.  Then a layer of black distressed a bit and scalloped on one side.  The next layer, the bright orange, was toned down by using a stamp by Delta called Crackle Background.  I also used the Dream Text on the flower made with the Tattered Flowers die from Tim Holtz.  Finally the gorgeous image from McMahon Digital Designs was colored with watercolor pencils.  You can find the stamp here.

Thanks for stopping in today!

McMahon Digital Release

Today's card uses the butterfly image from the digital set called Sophisticated Phrases from

McMahon Five Design.com.  

I first changed the colors of the butterflies using Photoshop then printed them on plain old printer paper. I then coated all the butterflies with glossy accents and when that dried, I cut them out and covered the back with the glossy accents. This left me with some very sturdy but pliable little guys.

 

Here's a look at the complete set of Sophisticated Phrases. Click on the picture below for a quick link to the stamp set.
