Catch a Falling Star -- a New Release for Oddball Art

I used Image #292 - Sally's Stars, and created this:

I colored Image #292 - Sally's Stars with Copic markers, then used a die by Craftin' Desert Divas to cut out the image.  

The star-shaped card is a design I found in the Silhouette Design Store.  I cut it out on my Silhouette Cameo, using Echo Park Dots & Stripes papers.  The other paper stars added to the card were also cut out on my Silhouette.  The glitter star stickers are from Studio Calico.

Bloom -- for Coloring Without Boundaries

The last Sunday of the month -- that means it's time for the Coloring Without Boundaries design team to showcase their talent with Lacy Sunshine images by the ever-so-talented Heather Valentin. 

Today, I used Copic markers, and colored up the delightful Tina Tulips Flower Pot Pretty


Here's how I colored Tina Tulips Flower Pot Pretty --

skin -- E000, E00, E04, D11. E21, BV000 (under eyes), E13 (brows), R21, R22 (lips), R20 (cheeks).  Eyes -- V12, V04, V06, V17

Hair -- this first pic is the first color, YG45.  I generally color light to dark, but with hair, I'm just the opposite, starting dark to light.

Next, I add YG25...

The third color, YG23 is added:

Then, the finishing touches.  YG21 is added, then I go over the hair again with my 2 darkest colors.

Colors in the rest of the project:
Leaves -- G40, G43, G46
Tulips -- BV000, BV01, BV04, RV00, RV02, RV04
Pot -- E93, E95, E97, E99

Here she is, made into a card:

Designer papers on this card are from Heartfelt Creations.  Card stock is by Close To My Heart.  I used a variety of Spellbinders dies to make this card.  The crinkle ribbon and bow is from 3 Girl JAM. 

There are some fantastic tutorials on coloring techniques, found on the Coloring Without Boundaries blog each day.   Make sure you stop by and visit.  Then, visit our Coloring Without Boundaries Facebook group, too.  For even more information and inspiration, check out the Lacy Sunshine Color N Craft Facebook Community.

is Cursive Happy Easter (C430).

All papers and fibers for this tag are from Close To My Heart. The sequins are from Craftin' Desert Divas.

Woo! Hoo!

I've been participating in Gerda Steiner's monthly progressive challenge for quite awhile now.  I'm guessing it's been over a year.  I'm a huge fan of Gerda Steiner's whimsical images, and I look forward to a new one each month!

Here's what I did with this month's progressive image -- Jump Rope Bunny --



I colored Jump Rope Bunny with Copic markers.  Then, I used a variety of dies (from Craftin' Desert Divas and Lifestyle Crafts) to cut it out and to build the card base and layers.  The designer papers are all digital, from Pixel Scrapper

With the sentiment I used, I figure this card can be used for a variety of occasions.  Isn't it fun?

Hugs & Kisses

Every month, I've been participating in The Outlawz Progressive Freebie challenge.  I've made it for over a year now.  Each month, I think, "this might be the month I miss", but somehow I get something made yet again.

This month, I made a tag using Teresa Arsenault's free image.  Thank you, Teresa!

I colored the image with Copic markers.  I was working on the pleats, but I'm not real happy with how they turned out.

The tag was created with a variety of dies from Paper Wishes.  Papers are all digital, taken out of my stash.  Many are from Polkadoodles.   The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Follow Your Heart -- for Crafty Sentiments Designs

It's Tuesday, and I'm hosting today's challenge on the Crafty Sentiments Challenge Blog.  Every Tuesday, there is a new challenge, and this week is one of the most popular ones -- Anything Goes!  

I like making "Love" cards for my husband all year long.  I like to leave them in his lunch bag, on his vanity, under his pillow, in his car -- all kinds of sentimental places so he knows he's special and I love him.  Today's card was created just to tell him he's the one for me.  It features Crafty Sentiments Designs rubber stamp, "Hand in Hand".    



I colored Hand in Hand stamped image with Copic markers, then used 2 sizes of a Spellbinders die to make this card.  The crinkle ribbon on this card is from 3 Girl JAM.   The sentiment is a stamp from Great Impressions Stamps. The Designer paper is a digital Echo Park -- Dots and Stripes Valentine, printed on my laser printer.    I love how the umbrella and background paper match!

I so hope you join us this week at Crafty Sentiments Challenge blog.  We have such great prizes, and I get to choose the winners next Monday.  I'd love to see what you make and have a chance to pick YOU!

My "Green" themed card uses walk the dinosaur (colored with Copic markers), papers, and a pre-colored sentiment from the Sticks & Bones Collection.  It's available in CD or Digital Download.

The card base is from the Silhouette Design store.  I cut it out on my Silhouette Cameo.  I used two Top Dog dies on the image and the sentiment. The ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM.

Be Filled With Wonder -- a Tutorial for Coloring Without Boundaries

Hello, fellow craft lovers!  I'm posting today for Coloring Without Boundaries, featuring a Lacy Sunshine image by Heather Valentin. I also have a tutorial to share on how I color eyes with Copic markers.

First, I'll show you the finished project, using Rory's Tender Loving Care...

As previously stated, I colored Rory's Tender Loving Care with Copic markers.

You can only see one of Rory's eyes (I can just hear my mom saying, "Get your hair out of your eyes!"), but I thought a tutorial on that one eye, demonstrating eye color, would be helpful.  Here's how I do it:

With a large eye like this one, I try to use 4 colors.  On this eye,  I used B21, B23, B26, and BV25

Start with B21...


Add B23, leaving the bottom area with just the first color.

Add the 3rd color, in the case B26, concentrating more on the top of the eye, where it naturally appears darker.

Add the final color (BV25), as close to the eyelashes as you can.

Then, go over all 4 colors again with your lightest marker (B21) to blend them together:

Here's Rory's Tender Loving Care, with coloring complete, and made into a center step card.


Papers and embellishments are all from the Fancy Pants Wonderful Day 12x12 Collection. 

Check out the Coloring Without Boundaries blog each day for wonderful tutorials, coloring, and tips. Then, check out the Coloring Without Boundaries group on Facebook for even more inspiration, support, and ideas.

All Creatures Great & Small -- For Great Impressions Stamps

It's Saturday, my day to post at Great Impressions Stamps.  Yea!  I'm having so much fun with these wonderful stamps! Today, I'm featuring a card that I made with the first Great Impressions stamps I ever purchased, quite a few years ago now.  I loved the stamps then, and I still love them now:



I used the rubber stamp Elephant & Ladybug (F520) on the outside of this card.  I colored the image with Copic markers, then used a variety of sizes of the same Spellbinders die set to create the card base and layers.  Papers for this card, and the foil tape are from Close To My Heart.  The grey ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM.

Here's the inside:

The inside is stamped with sentiment stamp God Loves (D483).  

I just love that elephant and lady bug!  I hope they make you smile, too.

I'll be back next week with more great fun from Great Impressions Stamps

A Friendship Card -- for The Cutting Cafe

I'm posting today for The Cutting Cafe.  This week is all about flowers.  The design team is all using the same set -- Sentiment Stems and Flower Tops Printable Set.  It's always nice to think flowers in the middle of winter!

I used 3 of the sentiment stems to create this friendship card:

I separated the stems in a photo editing program so I could resize them and use them individually, then arranged them how I wanted them, printing them on Close To My Heart card stock.  The card base and card layers were created using Spellbinders dies. The flowers are from Prima Marketing.  The metal flower sticker is from CTMH.  The ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM.

Check out The Cutting Cafe for tons more printable and cutting files.  There is truly something for every occasion or project you can think of.  Also check out the sister site, The Cutting Cafe Shop for clear stamps, papers, confetti, hemp -- all kinds of goodies!  Then, visit The Cutting Cafe blog to see what the other design team members have made with the Sentiments and Stems Printable Set.   You won't be disappointed!  Leave a comment on the blog, and you could win 3 sets of your choice!  Last, but not least, there's a great Facebook group full of inspiration too.  Check out The Cutting Cafe - Be Inspired Facebook Group.

Thinking of You -- for Star Stampz

It's Thursday, and time for a new challenge at Star Stampz Challenge Blog.   For the next 2 weeks, our theme is 'Monochromatic'.  I always think I struggle with this theme, but when I showed my finished project to my husband, he said, "you're good at those.".  Maybe I need to re-think this! :)



I used Victorian Lady on this, coloring her up in monochromatic violets.  

Once I had Victorian Lady colored, I used 2 different Die-namics oval stitched dies.  The card base is a file I found in the Silhouette Design store, and cut out on my Silhouette Cameo.  Designer paper is Heartfelt Creations Delicate Asters Collection.  The crinkle ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM.

I hope you can join our 'Monochromatic' challenge this next 2 weeks at Star Stampz Challenge Blog.   There's great prizes to win, and I'd love to see what you make!

It's Thursday, and time for a new challenge on the Julia Spiri Challenge Blog.  Challenges are always anything goes with an optional theme. The optional theme for the next 2 weeks is "Venice".  

Have you seen the last few new releases?  They have been fantastic!!!  I am using a recently released digi today, called 'The Secrets of Venice'.



I colored the Secrets of Venice with Copic markers, then cut her out with a Lawn Fawn round stitched cutting die.  

The card base was made with  a cutting file from The Cutting Cafe, Nesting Frame Shaped Card Set 3.  The feathers are Spellbinders dies.  The twine is from Timeless Twine.  All papers and sentiment are from Close To My Heart.

I hope you can join our challenge this next 2 weeks at Julia Spiri Challenge Blog.  It's always anything goes with an alternate twist -- Venice.  There's some great Venice images in the Julia Spiri Etsy Shop.  How fun!!

I stamped the bee and mushroom image from the Animal & Bug Love stamp set on X Press It blending card, and colored it with Copic markers, then fussy cut it.

I Ruff You! -- for Path of Positivity

It's the 15th of the month, and time for some mid-month inspiration at the Path of Positivity Challenge blog.  The challenge theme this month is "Desire".

Our sponsors this month are Ike's Art and Scribbles Designs.   This time, I worked with a great image from Ike's Art called Labrador Stick.

This was my husband's Valentine's Day card from our Golden Retriever, Sophie yesterday.  The inside read, "I love you more than a big stick, or a tennis ball, but maybe not more than treats or food, but I really, really do love you."  It was signed, Princess Sophie.

If you know a dog who likes big sticks, or obsesses over tennis balls, it truly is desire.  Life stops when the tennis ball comes out.  There is nothing else.  One of our former dogs would chase a ball for hours, stopping only when food was offered.   That, my friends, is desire, as seen through the eyes of a dog.

This card base was cut out on my Silhouette Cameo, using a cutting file I found in the Silhouette Design Store.  I used several oval Spellbinders dies to cut out and mount the image (colored with Copics).  The sentiment is a stamp from Close To My Heart.   The sequins are from Craftin' Desert Divas. 

I hope you can join us this month at Path of Positivity for our theme, Desire.  You have until March 8 to link up.  We've got great prizes, and I'd love to see what you create!

I colored Kiki (image #287) with Copic markers.  The sentiment and speech bubble come with the image, but can be separated (as I did).

Happy Easter -- for Great Impressions Stamps

It's Saturday -- my day to post at Great Impressions Stamps!   Easter is early this year, so I'm already getting a start on a few Easter cards.  Here's one I made with a super adorable Great Impressions rubber stamp. 



I used Bunny Peeking (F602) in the center of this step card.  I colored Bunny Peeking with Copic markers.  The sentiment is  Cursive Happy Easter (C430).

The center step card is a cutting die from Sizzix.  Designer papers on this card are from Close To My Heart.  There's some Timeless Twine and some Skittles to finish it off.

I'll be back next week with more inspiration with Great Impressions Stamps.  I can't wait!
