More Cards

OK seems like I am getting back into the swing :)

I don't know how everyone else goes about making cards, but I usually have MANY many "in the works" I have tons of images already colored that's for sure, but also I have a pile of 1/2 made cards, sometimes it's just the papers picked, sometimes I've cut the mats already & picked out the bg paper and the ribbon too.....so I banged out these 5 cards yesterday ;)


This one I rec'd the image from WRAK and I don't know the name.... colored it with Copic markers and the BG is Cuttlebug embossing folder which I used on DCWV cs and then I sanded it.

Stamps: Wrak'd Angel
Paper: DCWV Blue, Green Galore
Accessories: Copic & like Markers, Variegated Sheer ribbon, CM cutting system Ovals, CB embossing Folder Tiny Bubbles, sandpaper


This one I used the negative space from the previous card for the cut out oval. I usually do that, when I need to cut a shape I will cut it from the center of a 4.25x5.5 piece, so that I can still use the leftover for a card base and cover it up... and sometimes I use the cutout :) So I colored this with markers again... (I hardly ever use pencils & OMS anymore) and then I sponged lightly with Summer Sky memento ink.

This one came about because I was stamping this image for wishes ;) I just LOVE that color marker that I used for his main skin, it's Prismacolor marker "LimePeel" and I think I need to find a Copic match, because I fear it will run out soon! Pen-stitched the square.

Miss You Tilda

I love the way this one turned out ~ had to draw in the mouth... can't help it sometimes. I colored with Copic & Bic markers and then some candlelight Shimmerz on the umbrella and Aleene's paper glaze on the water - I just love that stuff!


Tilda is mounted on Pink Passion, the base is PTI Lemon Tart and the strips are Pretty in Pink, which I inked the edges with Pink Passion ink. Finished off with sunshine eyelets from my stash and stamped Miss You from the PTI Mixed Messages. I have a sentiment that reads, if raindrops were kisses, I'd send you a storm.... Think I will put that inside ;)














Here's some detail of the Shimmerz and the Paper Glazing
