A Mixture of Things

Hey everyone!!  So....what did y'all think about the Super Bowl!?!  WooHoo!!!!  My hubby even won some money on one of his football boards.  That and the fact that the Saint's won....I am a happy camper!!!!

I have a couple of cards for you today!!  The first one is one of my new stamps from Faerie Song.  I just love this stamp!!  Here's my card............

Isn't this just the greatest stamp?  The little Corner Mushroom stamps are from The Pixie Cottage and I thought that they went perfect with this image!!  I created this card for the Copic Colour Challenge and our colors this week were to use E18 which I used on the flowers, E42 and E77 both of which I used on the mushrooms.  WOW...I never would have thought the E77 would be the perfect color for mushrooms!!!  I am really loving this blog because it is making me think about color combination's that I probably wouldn't think of!!!

I am also going to enter this one into the Flutter By Wednesday's challenge which is an open challenge this week but you have to use a fairy, butterfly or angel.  I guess that both of my cards would qualify for this challenge today!!! 

Copics Used:

My next card is using my new Haiti Relief stamp "Shining On"  by ching-chou kuik for Sweet Pea Stamps.  When you purchase this stamp 50% of the price will be donated to Doctors Without Borders.  Here's my card..............

This is only my second card ever that I have colored ethnic skin.  WOW....I think I need a lot more practice!!  Melissa at Sweet Pea Stamps has been giving me some pointers but I just can't bring myself to try another one just yet!!  LOL!!  For this stamp I have used my black Spica glitter pen to color her wings.  I also used a silver pen to do the leaves in her hair.  This card really has lots of sparkle in real life but I guess your just going to have to take my word for it!!  :)  I used feathers and this little crystal butterfly that I got from Michael's.

Copics Used:

One more think before I go!!!  I almost forgot about the Sweet Pea Stamps Customer Challenge for this week.  The challenge was to create and ATC and you could only use 3 colors.  First of all, this is the very first ATC that I have ever done!!!!  OMGosh...what are you to do with such a little thing!?!  Second, I don't even know what an ATC is for!!  Total stampin' newbie here!!  LOL!!  But.........I just love challenges!!!  Here is the ATC that I created for this challenge using an angel stamp from Plate #17 at Sweet Pea Stamps. 

 

This is just a gorgeous stamp set!!

Thanks for visiting me today and be sure and check back tomorrow as we have a new challenge at The Pixie Cottage!!!!  BTW....sorry for such a long post!!!!!

Have a good one!!!

Be Mine Tonight

Good Monday to you all!!  Wow...what a football game last night huh!?!  I was the only one cheering for the Saints and I am so happy that they are going to the Super Bowl!!!  Okay, now that my football is out of the way......I have a card for you today using an image from ching-chou kuik's Fantasy Art Collection for Sweet Pea Stamps!!  OMGosh, if you haven't seen these stamps you really need to go take a look.  They are just amazing!!  My card today is using Love is Gone and I have to tell you, my hubby is totally enamored by her!!  I should just give it to him for Valentine's Day!!  Here's my card......

I must admit that I really like how she turned out!!  If you could see her IRL, she has glitter on her wings and I also used a Sakura stardust pen in grey on her hairl  So much shimmer!!!  She is colored with Copics and I have used an inkssentials white pen for my highlights.

Copic colors used:

My DP is from 7 Gypsies and I have also used my MS heart border punch and branch punch.  I'm becoming quite addicted to Martha Stewart's punches.  I just want one of each!!  Not too much to ask is it!?!  LOL!!

Thanks for visiting my blog today and I hope that you have a great week!!  Wednesday I will have the new Pixie Cottage challenge for you!!  PERFECT for Valentine's Day!!!!  Hope to see you then!!!


Have a good one!!

Flutter By Wednesday

WooHoo....it's Friday!  My son called me this morning and asked if I would take the baby for the weekend!  Dang....*giggle*!!!!  I'm planning a big surprise for my Mom and Dad that I'm going to post on my blog.  We'll see if they get it!!  More to come.


Okay, in the meantime I've found a new challenge blog that I absolutely love.  It is called Flutter By Wednesday's and for their challenges you have to have a butterfly, fairy or angel on your project.  I think that should be fairly easy for me to do.  This week is an open challenge and you can do anything as long as you have a butterfly, fairy or angel.

I decided that I would use one of my stamps from the ching-chou kuiks Fantasy Art Collection.  The stamp I used is called "Come Softly".  Wow....I love every single one of these stamps!!  You can find these at Sweet Pea Stamps.  Now for my card!

Isn't she just beautiful!?!  The sentiment is also from Sweet Pea Stamps and they come with the stamp plate sets.  Of course, you know me....I always have to have all of everything I love  They are wonderful!! 

I have been reading so many blogs lately that actually take a picture of the Copics they use that I have decided to start doing it too.  I'm not sure anyone actually reads this thing but hey....I have it for my record now!!  LOL!!

Colors used:

I forgot to grab my E57 too!!!  Sheesh...not getting off to a very good start!!  LOL!!!

Thank you for visiting today and I hope too see you again real soon!!

Have a good one!!!
