Summer Flower Tilda

I created this birthday card using Magnolia's Summer Flower Tilda.


I started with a evening surf blue card base.  I added a piece of light blue dotted paper cut just a little smaller than the base.  I added a white lace paper doily. I colored the image using Spectrum Noir pens and backed it in evening surf card stock.  To create the flower I started with 2 large white paper flowers, 1 medium white paper flower and 1 small white paper flower. I colored the medium and small flower using Spectrum Noir pens. I layered the 4 flowers and added a snowflake pearl to the center.  I punched 3 butterflies out of evening surf card stock and added 3 small snowflake pearls to the center of each one.  I stamped the sentiment using light blue ink and backed it in evening surf card stock. I added white opal liquid pearls  to the butterfly on the sentiment, around the image and to the center of the flower.  I added crystal stickles to the wings.

Easter/Spring at 2 Sisters

This week at Two Sisters the challenge theme is Easter/Spring and we are sponsored by The Crafting Boutique.  This week I created a tag using Mushroom Mouse from this week's sponsor.

I colored the image using Spectrum Noir pens and backed it in pink card stock and then again in white card stock.  I used 3 different sized white paper flowers and colored the two smaller flowers using Spectrum Noir pens and added a pink twinkle goosebump to the center of the flowers.  I added 3 pink rhinestones to the corner of the image and finished it off by adding a piece of ribbon to the top of the tag.

Celebrate Your Special Day With Baby Fairy Flora

I created this card using Baby Fairy Flora from Mo's Digital Pencil.


I used sketch #34 from Paper Take Weekly's sketchie free for all.  I started with a 5 x 5 candlelight (yellow) card base. I added a piece of tapioca (pale yellow) card stock cut slightly smaller than the base and backed in white card stock.  I embossed a piece of white cardstock and added a smaller strip of yellow striped patterned paper to the bottom of it.  I added a yellow dotted ribbon across the seam of the two pieces. I backed it in candlelight card stock and then again in white card stock.  I added that to the center of the card. 

I colored the image using Spectrum Noir pens and backed both the image and the sentiment in tapioca card stock and then again in candlelight card stock.  I added a layered daisy embellishment from K & Company to both sides of the sentiment.  I added crystal stickles to the center of both daisies and to the fairy wings.

I created this birthday card using Edwin With Bike from Magnolia.  The color combo that I choose was lime green, vibrant blue and kraft.

I started with a 5x5 kraft card base. I added a piece of vibrant blue card stock cut just a little smaller than the base.  I cut a piece of lime green card stock and a smaller piece of plaid card stock and added it to a piece of kraft card stock. Then I added a thin strip of kraft card stock between them.  I colored the image using Spectrum Noir pens. I stamped the sentiment on white card stock. I backed both the image and the sentiment in vibrant blue and then again in kraft.  I added 3 blue star buttons and 2 lime green star buttons down the strip of kraft card stock.
