Christmas Reindeer Card

Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing another Christmas card I made for someone special to me. I took more time to do this one as I'd like for it to stand out. This family means the world to me and I just want something nice and thought of to share.

I used Cranberry cardstock as base and layered it with White Pines paper and Topiary cardstock. I picked the Reindeer image this time from the Miracle of Christmas stamp set and colored it with Copics in W0, W1, W3.




Here's the same stamp set I used.

D1656 Miracle of Christmas

I used the snowflake image to end stamped it with Versamark, then embossed it with Wow! White Diamond powder and topped with some bling to make it sparkle. I also added some berries using Christmas Red Stickles, and to top the reindeer image I doodled on the sides randomly. 

I hope they'll like it! Happy Holidays!

Teacup Flowers

I've had a coloring spree yesterday and thought I'd make a batch of cards that's any-occasion. I used the Taylored Expressions Teacup Bouquet and colored it in different colors. These flowers are so versatile, I guess any flowers are, so I used the different sentiments from a Sizzix stamp set. Unfortunately I can't remember where I got it from or the name of the stamp set.

The images are colored using my Spectrum Noir markers. They're a mix from the pink, purple, yellow, red and coral families. The background papers are from kI Memories and I embossed it using my Cricut Cuttlebug.

Happy Easter Egg-Citement

I'm a bit late but hey, at least I still have a week left to do some Easter cards. Today's card uses Close to My Heart Hoppy Easter stamp set. This is so just so adorable! I had so much fun coloring eggs, trying out different color combinations to make the eggs pop. I also used Colored Egg for the additional eggs on the card. Isn't it obvious I got carried away with the eggs?

I used Lagoon cardstock and embossed it with Chevron pattern to create a background. I did not want to use any more B&T paper given my eggs are already creating a bit of a noise.  The sentiment was stamped using Easter Wishes and Hoppy Easter. It was stamped on a scrap of Skylark paper I had and I snipped the middle to make it look like a banner. I added black epoxy bubbles to accentuate the sentiment.  The pink strip of paper was also a scrap that I added to bring out some nice color.

And as always, my bunny and Easter eggs have all been colored using my ever so dependable Spectrum Noirs markers.

Hope you'll like it! Enjoy!
