Sweet Blossom

Today I'm sharing project using the Sweet Blossom image from Whimsy Stamps for my One Crazy Stamper post! 

I colored her up with Copic markers:  B99, B97, B95, B41, YG67, YG17,YG13, E02, E00, E47, E44, E43, E31, YR27, YR14, Y35, Y21.

I distressed the image edges with Tim Holtz's Distress Inks in Tumbled Glass and Peeled Paint.

I love using embroidery on a card to dress it up a bit.  This is the first time I used three different coordinating threads to frame my image.  I create a pattern I like, pierce it freehand and then stitch it up!

Designer papers are from BasicGrey's Clippings collection.  I then framed the panel in a 9 x 9 inch frame that my husband made for me.  I left the glass out for the purpose of the photo.

Book Worm!

It's that time of year.....when you just want to curl up in the evenings in your jammies with a good book!
Lora from One Crazy Stampers sent along the Book Worm image from High Hopes Rubber Stamps....so what to do but make a few book markers!  I have a 10 year old bookworm in the house....who usually has pile of books he's in the process of reading.

I colored the images with Copic Markers:  R59, R56, YG67, YG17, YG23, BG75, BG72, YR27, YR23, E49, E47, E44, E43.  Papers are from Basic Grey's Clippings collection.   I distressed the papers with Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

Belle With Laundry

This image seemed appropriate for today's challenge....I've been quickly getting all my laundry/housework caught up a bit so I can spend Tuesday at CHA!  What a darling image from Belles'n Whistles to depict an everyday occurence of our lives! 

I colored Belle With Laundry with the Copics shown below:

I used designer paper from BasicGrey's Sweet Threads collection.  I kept the designe simple since the image is so detailed and delicate. 

I don't mind laundry....that is such a good feeling when everything is fresh and clean!  Now ironing...THAT is another story!!  Blech!!
