It's a Black and White Kind of Day

It's been one of those weeks and so for today's card I decided to challenge myself to an all black and white card - something I try to do at least once a year. I think this one turned out great!!

This sweet image is "Wizarding Gnome" from the A Magical Day release at High Hopes stamps.  I stamped the image on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and then colored it with Copics and Prismacolor pencils.  The stars and glitter were colored with a Sakura Clear glitter pen and then I added Wink of Stella silver to the larger stars.  The star flourish is an oldie from Memory Box and the frame is an unknown brand.  The sentiment is from the same release and is available here.

Card Recipe

Copics - N0, N2, N3, N6, N10, C3, C5, T0, T2, T7, T10

Prismacolor pencils - 1058 90% Warm Grey, 1063 10% Warm Grey, 1063 50% Cool Grey, 1060 - 20%  Cool Grey, 938 White

I Like.....

Today is often referred to as Throwback Thursday, so as a salute to that, my card today is not a throwback card, but the subject is definitely from another decade - welcome to Throwback Thursday 80's style.  

 

 

This sweet image is Stamping Bella's Uptown Girl Farrah Loves Flashdance available here.  I colored the image with Copic Sketch Markers, added Judikins Diamond Glaze to her bubble, Wink of Stella silver accents on the stereo, and randomly drew lines around the entire image with a Sakura Clear Star pen.  After cutting the image and surrounding mat with a Spellbinder die, the image was then mounted on older Fancy Pants paper.  The musical notes were cut with Memory Box dies, and the sentiment is included with the image.

Who Loves Cinnamon?

Terrific Tuesday is here again, the skies above are clear again, so let's sing a song of cheer again, Happy Days are here again!!! 
Thank goodness you can't hear my singing right now - it would probably scare you away if you could!!  Summer is here and this sweet little girl has packed up her picnic basket with a bounty of her special Cinnamon Sugar cupcakes!!  Wouldn't you love to join her?

This is Whimsy Stamps Cinnamon Sugar from artist Elisabeth Bell, which I have colored with Copics.  I have layered several sizes of Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Circles Small and the Grand Scalloped Circles to make this adorable easel card.  The dp is from the Hello Sunshine collection by Bo Bunny, and the flourishes are Memory Box's Elegant Scrollwork die.  The center circle on the inside is also a Spellbinder die, and the felt flowers are from my stash.
