Spring Beauty

It is Friday and time for a new challenge at Stamping With the Dragon.  The challenge this week is Anything but a Card.  I decided to make a tag using Spring Beauty from Stamping Dragon Designs. 

Most of the tag is colored with distress inks.  I used a few Copics on her face and hair.  First I sponged distress ink on the tag.  Then I colored my image with copic markers.  Next I sponged distress inks around my image.  It came out darker then my tag, but I used different paper for my image then what the tag is made of.  I cut it out with Spellbinders Nestabilities Label Nine.  I layered it on the same, but I sponged Antique Linen distress ink on it.

The flower is cut out with MFT Layered Rose on paper that I used Antique Linen and Victorian Velvet distress ink to color it with.  The leaves are made with a punch from The Punch Bunch and was colored with Iced Spruce distress ink.  Here is a closeup of the flower.

The little butterflies are from the SU stamp set Papillon Potpourri and they are punched out with the coordinating punch.  I also used the distress inks to color them and then set pearls from my stash in the center.  Here is a closeup of the image.

I also used a swirl of pearls from my stash and lace from my stash.  The lace I colored with Victorian Velvet and Milled Lavender distress ink.

Distress Ink - Antique Linen, Iced Spruce, Milled Lavender, Victorian Velvet

Copic Markers - E00, E01, E11, G12, V01, V05, Y23, Y26

Use Ribbon or Twine

Good morning everyone.  It's Thursday and time for another challenge at Paper Crafting Journey.  Today's challenge is to use ribbon or twine on your project and it is being sponsored by The Paper Shelter.  For my card I am using the Adorable Miss Hall.  She still looks feminine in masculine duds.

I started out with Stampin Up Early Expresso cardstock and layered it with designer paper from My Mind's Eye.  My image is cut out with Spellbinder's Oval die cut and layered with the Beaded Oval die cut.  I used Cappuccino Baker's Twine from The Twinery and buttons from Basic Grey.  The flower is from Petaloo and the pearls are from my stash.

It's a Pink Christmas!

It's Friday and that means it is time for another challenge at Stamping with the Dragon.  This week the theme is One Colour Colouring - Pink Christmas.  The winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to Di's Digi Designs.  I used Christmas Elf from the Stamping Dragon Designs store.  I thought she looked so cute all colored up in pink, even her hair.  I also used Stickles Stardust on her hat and dress to give it some shine.

All the papers are Bazzill in various shades of pink.  The sentiment is from Stamping Up Teeny Tiny Wishes.  I used these SU punches, Word Window and Modern Label with my sentiment.  Sizzix die cuts were used  for the trees and Spellbinder Oval and Scallop Oval used with my image.  I used a Sizzix embossing folder on the background piece and on the trees.  The folder looks like falling snow.  Then I used Liquid Pearls on the snow dots on the trees and also I made some drops around the image.  The ribbon/lace is from Michael's.  And the little white flowers are from my stash.
