Die-versions "Sweet Petites" Flamingo

With my love of all things Flamingo I just had to  make a card with my latest aquired flamingo die!

This time I wanted to make something a little more silhouetted. 

I used Dylusions spray inks to make a background by spraying lightly onto a piece of white cardstock. Then I blotted with a paper towel to get this effect. The oval was cut with Spellbinders Nestabilites ovals. The flower is Cheery Lynn Judy's Blooms die.

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!!
