Curious Duck!

Cats aren't the only curious things. Ducks are pretty curious as well! Yesterday I did a card class with three different duck images. I just HAD to use this curious little guy! How cute is he? It took me a little longer to figure out what I wanted him to be looking at. Bugs? Flowers? Then the idea of a puddle popped into my head. And what do you see when you look in a puddle? Your reflection of course!! Love it!!

My Mind's Eye papers were used for the background. I used Orange Candi dots for accents. Tree is by IO. Colored the image with Copics. Used Pink Liquid Pearls to make buds on the trees.

Rainy day duck

I used this stamp by Great Impression not that long ago and just had to use it in another card because it is SUPER cute!!! Ducks remind me of spring and not that long ago I mentioned how bad my spring fever is this year! And Easter is coming up in a few weeks!! Ducks (along with bunnies) just scream Easter!

Background paper is My Mind's Eye. Acrylic dots are by Queen & Co. and Umbrella die is by IO. Image is colored with Copics.

Snowman Fun

 Well, they say that tonight we are going to start getting some accumulation of that nasty white stuff. Yes, snow is on the way. And if you can believe the weather guessers, there will be a lot of it.
Just what all of us crafting people want to here. (NOT) One good thing about a snow storm is that we are forced to stay in the house. And what better thing to work on in early November snow storms than our Christmas cards?

 Here is one of the Christmas cards I made this year. Cute little Great Impressions snowman having a bit of fun with some snow flakes. Copics used were: C7, C10, R37, R39 for the hat, R37, R39 for the scarf, B04 for eyes, B97 for buttons, YR09 for carrot nose, R20 for blush, E57 for branches, B41 for snowflakes, Outlined in B000. Clear Wink of Stella brush was used to accent snowflakes and ground.

Happy Snowman making!!

Employee Pick of the Month

A new thing started at Picture This is an area where employees can display their product picks of the month. This month I am choosing to use the products that I used in this card.

 

The girl stamp is by Great Impressions and colored with Copics. I also used a clear Wink of Stella to highlight the hair. Teal paper is Authentique  Flourish. Fower is a Cheery Lynn die that I enhanced with copics. Center of flower is done with FlowerSoft. Word stamps is sold as a set by Just Rite and the die used on the words is by Memory Box. Pearl embellishments and ribbon also used. Brown cardstock by WorldWin. 

Gracie with bunny

I am making three cards with the Great Impressions stamp 'Gracie with Bunny'.

I am using Copics to color this sweet girl and her friend, using different colors to show different hair and face coloring ideas. Bunny and outfit will also be different colors. 

Gracie and Bunny is a fun Great Impressions Stamp to play around with! 

I have so many more ideas for this stamp and can't wait to play with it more after my class! 

Here are my finished cards. 

Hope you like them!
