It's still bitterly cold here ( -15 when I got up this morning!) so I've been spending time in my warm studio working on Valentine's Day cards to sell at a local shop. I needed a break from all the red and pink and hearts so I made this card using another image from Prairie Fairy Designs.

I just couldn't resist this little fairy named Flower Fairy.

I colored the image with Copics and used Basic Grey Porcelain along with Bazzill cardstock. There are green dew drops in the corners and Martha Stewart glitter on her wings. I wanted to keep the layout pretty clean and simple because I didn't want anything competing with the image. Here's a closeup of the fairy where you can see the glitter on her wings a little better.<

Umbrella Girl

Isn't this image just the cutest?! I bought it at a new digi store called Prairie Fairy Designs. I just love all the images and I'm sure you will, too, so go check it out. There is also a challenge blog for the site and this card was made for their first challenge. Up for grabs is a free digi stamp!

I just got these new papers from Kaisercraft and had to use them right away. I LOVE purple and these papers are just delish. I got them here.

I colored the image with Copics. The sentiment in the circle was printed using Word, the "Get Well" sentiment was created using my JustRite stamp set. Border punch is Martha Stewart and the flower was made using a daisy punch and circle punch.

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Red Tilda

This is a card I created for a family friend who was just diagnosed with cancer. On the inside it says, "Thinking of You" and there's a yellow flower with a black center that I punched out.

I colored the image with Copics. The center of the yellow flower has black glitter and I put a layer of Diamond Glaze on her boots so they would be shiny. The flowers I created using flower and circle punches. The white background was created with a Cuttlebug folder I just got called "Daisy Pattern."

Prairie Fairy Snowman

Isn't this snowman just a cutie patootie?! It's a digi image from Prairie Fairy (artist Roberta Laliberte). Her store isn't quite open yet but it will be soon. This snowman is a freebie you can get on her blog here. Based on the sneak peeks, I think her images will be VERY popular!

I colored the image with Copics. The black buttons are brads and I used polar white Flower Soft on the snow pile and Sparkly Fluff on the hat pom-pon. The red snowflakes have a healthy amount of Diamond Dust and the ribbon is from my stash.

Motivet Challenge 51

This is my entry for the challenge over on the Motivet blog. Check it out here.

I've used this image a lot lately, but I just love this little girl enjoying a snowfall! I colored the image with Copics and layered it on Papertrey Ink DP and cardstock. The flowers are great ones I found at Wild Orchid Crafts. I highly recommend them - tons of flowers in each pack and not too expensive (depending on the exchange rate!). The trim on her cape and the snow got a layer of Sparkly Fluff. You can't tell it from the picture, but the flowers got a healthy coating of Smooch Spritz to give them a nice sparkle.

Blog Candy

Caz has some great candy up for grabs - take a look and good luck!

Motivet Challenge 50

This is my entry for the week 50 Motivet challenge that you can find here. I colored her with Copics and used Nestabilities for the oval and the scalloped oval. The ribbon is from Michael's. I used Sparkly Fluff on the snow and the fir trim on her hat and cape.

Motivet Challenge

This is my entry for the latest challenge over at the Motivet blog. If you want to enter, click HERE.

I used the Girl in Snow stamp from Motivet and I just love her. I colored her with Copics and used two different DP from the Magnolia Christmas paper pack. The punched out snowflakes have a healthy layer of Diamond Dust and I also spritzed some Smooch Spritz on the pink oval layer for added shimmer. Her coat and cape are trimmed with Sparkly Fluff. This is the first time I've used those two products and I absolutely love them!

Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge

I created this Christmas fairy for the challenge over at Mo's Challenge Blog. I just love this image! I colored her with Copics and added Stickles to her holly wings and petticoat. I put Diamond Glaze on her snowglobe to make it look like glass.

Copic Creations Challenge

I'm new to Copics so I decided the best way to practice was to complete the challenges over at the Copic Creations blog. The challenge this time is to color an image with snow and/or snow people so I made this simple card:



You can't really tell from this picture but I stamped it twice and popped up the middle snowman for some dimension. There's not a whole lot of coloring on this image but it's only my second card using Copics so I guess it turned out ok. I know I have a ton more to learn about using Copics but I'm slowly getting better with practice. I tend to like my colors blended a little more than some of the cards I've seen on other blogs so there isn't as much of a contrast and it shows even less in pictures. But in real life you can see more of the contrast.
