A Very Merry Christmas to You!!!

Merry Christmas Eve to All!! My card today features another wonderful Stampendous House Mouse image from One Crazy Stamper.



The image is colored with Copics, and then I used a Sakura Glaze pen to add white highlights. After cutting the image out with a Spellbinders Grand die, I used the gold Viva Décor Pearl Pen to create dimension, and also ran the card base through the Grand Calibur with an M-bossibilites folder. The sentiment is from Just Rite Stamps, stamped with Ranger Distress Ink crushed olive. Here's the colors of Copics that I used -

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and all the Best in 2014!!!

Spring Fairy

Welcome to another Terrific Tuesday for One Crazy Stamper, and since the theme for this months challenge is flowers, I have designed this card with an abundance of bright colorful spring flowers.

I have used Rangers Distress Ink reinkers, and a water brush to color this cute Young Spring Fairy image from Whimsy Stamps. The image was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink on water color paper, colored and fussy cut, then placed on some older My Minds Eye designer paper. The border of flowers is the Memory Box Spring border die, which I cut from several colors of cardstock to get the various colors of flowers. The ribbon, charm and sentiment are all from my stash.

The Secret Gardener

Tomorrow is moving day for me - so I am scheduling this post a whole month in advance. I am hoping that when this card goes live, spring will have finally arrived here in Alberta, and that the spring flowers are in full bloom. The theme for this months challenge here at One Crazy Stamper is Flowers, and this card fits the bill perfectly.

This gorgeous young lady is Gardener Gayle from Saturated Canary, which I have colored with Copics. The image was then cut with one of the newest Spellbinders dies called Opulent Ovals, then the edges and background were inked with the Antique Linen Distress Ink Pad. The card front has layers of designer paper from Graphic 45's Secret Garden collection, and various Prima flowers. The centers of the lily of the valley flowers all received a bead of Frosted Lace Stickles.

 

Another little Geek!

Welcome back to my Tuesday post here at One Crazy Stamper, and this week I am once again featuring a geek, but unlike the boy computer geek that I featured a couple of weeks ago, this time I have a geekie girl!



This sweet little study girl is "Geekin It" by Saturated Canary stamps, that I have colored only with the E family of Copics ( okay the glasses are colored with B0000, but that's the only non E color ). The glasses and the apple are coated with Judikins Diamond Glaze. All of the layers of mats of cardstock and designer paper are machine stitched, then inked with Vintage Photo Distress ink, and the ribbon and chalk board are from my stash.

Clean and Simple Sketch Card

Terrific Tuesday time is here again, and for today's card for One Crazy Stamper, I have again combined the challenge sketch and the "Holiday" theme to create my card!!!

If I haven't mentioned it before, I absolutely love the adorable Lulu images from Kraftin' Kimmie, and this little sweetheart is from the Holiday Lulu and Libby stamp set! I have colored her with Copics, then mounted her on paper from the Carta Bella Winter Fun collection. The sentiment is also from the Carta Bella collection, while the twine and snowflake brads are from my stash. The edges of the papers were all inked with Rangers Antique Linen distress ink.

Sugar and Spice

Terrific Tuesday time at One Crazy Stamper and I have another fabulous fall themed card with Lulu to show you today.

This pretty little Lulu is from the Kraftin Kimmie stamp set "Sugar and Spice", as is the sentiment. I have stamped the image on watercolor paper with Staz-on Jet Black ink, then colored it with Distress ink reinkers and a Pentel waterbrush. The frame is the Memory Box die "Orchard Tree" which I cut from a 6" x 6" sheet of Scor Tape, and then glittered with Java Bean Glitter Ritz. The leaves of the tree were highlighted with a Flower Soft mixed color.

Shiver Me Timbers!!!

Here's another card that fits this month's challenge theme of Kraft, Red and Black.  This is High Hopes "The Thundering Rogue" available here at OCS.

I stamped the image with Versa Mark embossing ink and used black embossing powder to heat emboss the image.  Using only three colors of Prismacolor pencils ( black , crimson red, and light umber ), and Gamsol with Tortillons I colored and blended out the colors to give shadows and highlights.  The sentiment is from an older Kraftin' Kimmie sentiment set, and to finish off the edges on the card front I used Tim Holtz's Black Soot Distress Ink Pad.
