Tilda with hawaii flower

Yeah i got time to do a card and enter it in a challenge. It seems like forever since i got to do that.  So this week i am doing the Just Magnolia challenge. Which just happens to be anything goes with the option of shabby chic if you wish.  For my card i used this adorable tilda with hawaii flower.  I just love her to pieces of course cause she got butterflies with her.  I choose to use my favorite stack for right night which is DCWV lemon flower stack, paired with copics to color my image in.   I used a dragon fly charm and some flowers to finish off the card.

Just having fun

 I have accquired some new goodies to play with.  This first card showcases perfect pearls.  Now i watched gina k video on using these and she said if you spritz with water it would set the perfect pearls so they won;t smudge. Well i did that and then i went swimming with my kid for a good 3-4 hours and came back and they still smudged.  I also try heat setting it with my heat tool but no luck.  So any good ideas would be helpful. 

 Second card shows my use of a brayer that a friend let me borrow of course now i have to get my own.  I used a palm tree i pick up in a trade on splitcoast.  The sentiment is from verve stamps.

My third card shows me using a brayer and then used a sticky note try and create a snowdrift under my penguin.  Not quite the way i wanted it to look but i think it turned out rather well and i inked up another of my stamps sets that i felt needed some love.  Any comments are always appreciated.   Have a happy 4th.

using chalks

  Hello i been trying out some new techniques and also trying to use some of my more neglected sets that i have in my stash.  One of those sets is this stampin up set shore thing.  I used chalks on these three and some masking to make the sun.  I just wondering what you guys think.  thanks.

Heidi M drake

Hi everyone wow it been a while since  had a chance to post anything new on here.  With the kid getting out of school for the summer things have gotten busy.  Swim lessons, t-ball and just spending quality time with the kiddo.  Don;t worry i am still crafting away here in my studio.  This card here is one of new creations with a stamp from a new designer to Queen kat designs.  This is blue fairy from the Heidi M Drake collection.  I used echo park paper, ribbon that matched and copics.  Have a great day.

Danny chasing bugs

This week challenge at papertake weekly is anything goes this week.  I choose to use danny from paper make up stamps.  I thought he looked really cut with his net trying to catch bugs.  I used papers from my minds eye dreamy 2 collection.  The sketch is from deconstructed jen sketch number 4.  I used some blue brads to add in more of the blue from his shirt.  I hope you have a great week.
