Cafe Lizzie

I had to have this cutie, Cafe Lizzie from Whimsie Doodles especially with my beloved Pumpkin Spice Latte returning to Starbucks soon. I know it’s not the best for my waistline but I think a couple this fall couldn’t hurt!

I printed her out and then colored her with my copics and then cut her out.  I used Authentique Gathering for my paper. I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the layer behind my image. To finish the card I added brads and stickles. 

I did finish the inside--I struggle with getting sentiments onto cards so I have been trying to at least get them on the inside, plus it helps me use more of my stamps!--I used a TAC set, Coffee Talk and a strip of the designer paper.

For my layout I used the latest Sketch by Carly-

copic colors- E000, E00, E21, R30, R20, E25, E49, E53, E59, BG23, BG32, BG34, YR01, YR02, BG13,YR04, W1, W2, W4, E31, E34, E37, G24, G28, YR20, YR21,

I’m TOADally Chic!!

I was happy to find out the my card HERE was chosen as one of Carly’s picks on her last sketch!

So I had to play along with her new sketch,Sketch #53!

 

I used one of the stamps just released from SCACD, this is Mariposa Eyes. Isn’t she so pretty? I adore her!

I also had to add my new butterfly…I’ve been looking for this punch for a long time and finally found it today so of course I had to use it!

 

The little details- Mariposa Eyes, Memento Tuxedo Black, copics, Glamour Dust, Basic Grey Out of Print, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, Kaisercraft pearls, stardust stickles,

Sketches by Carly #52

I really feel my crafty mojo is in full swing these days. Fun to play along with some of my favorite challenges! Today I thought I’d play along with Carly’s latest sketch.

I used a digi I found in my printed folder from Whimsy and Stars Studio-Mabelle RO called Zoe’s Heart. I think it was a freebie at one time as I didn’t see it in her store right now.

I must say I really {heart} how this came out!

 

The little details~ digi-Zoe’s Heart,  copics, Basic Grey Sultry, nestabilities, Cuttlebug Script embossing folder, SU Pretty in Pink ink, Martha Stewart punch, pearls, white pen, stickles, Smooch Glitz, flower,

Wonderful Day

Found this sweet image from Mo Manning in my already colored pile of images and decided to get her on a card.

 

Looked around and thought Carly’s current sketch would work~

The little details~ digi-Wonderful Day, copics, Kaisercraft Tea at Elsie’s, nestabilities, flowers,

Before I get to the sketch this week I wanted to share that I am leaving this wonderful design team. I will still be playing along when I can and I truly appreciate the opportunity given to me by Carly!
Here’s the sketch~

The DT were given some digi’s to use from The Paper Shelter, I chose Dew Drops to use, what a sweet image. Sigh, but my mojo is playing tricks on me and I printed it to big for the circle part of the sketch so here’s my adapted version (and yes, I know I could’ve reprinted it but I chose the challenging route, LOL)~

It really looked better in my head..sigh…oh mojo, where are you?
The little details~ digi-Dew Drops, copics, SEI Sunny Day, nestabilities, Victoria Cuttlebug embossing folder, CTMH retired ribbon, flowers, Diamond and Waterfall stickles,
