Reindeer Kisses

I really love using those Shake-it pouches from Impression Obsession, they make it so easy to create fun shaker cards. Here's one I used to fill with some Polar White Flower Soft with the leftover punched snowflakes from a Martha Stewart snowflake border punch. Can't throw those little bits away! I colored the Elzybells image with Copics with a little red glaze pen for his nose.

To create the frame for the Shake-it pouch, I just used two dies, one from the Lacy circles set, and one plain one. Then I cut another lacy circle in red to mat behind it. Aqua and red is such a pretty color combo, I see it used all the time, but this may be the first time I've tried it.

Another work/school week begins, so I'm off to get ready! Thanks for stopping by!

Moo, baa, cluck...

Just a quick post to share this Elzybells card with you all today. I love the farm animals they are so adorable! I laboriously colored them with Copics, took me forever, I don't know why. Maybe I need more practice.
I added little white swirls to the sheep's coat using a Sharpie extra fine poster pen. Best white pen on the planet IMO, and I've tried them all! The paper is Basic Grey's Nook and Pantry. I love the little sentiment, 'Have you herd'? Inside I'm going to put something to finish it off, haven't decided on what yet.

Thanks for visiting, let's try to have a decent Monday!

Rub a dub dub...

I fell in love with Mel's bathtub card from a couple of weeks ago. Her tutorial on how to make bathroom tiles, Dew Drop and clear seed bead bubbles was simply stunning, and I knew I had to try my own version using this Elzybells stamp. I LOVE how this sweet little bear came out! I plan on using this technique from here on out, in many different way. Thanks Mel!
I colored the little guy with colored pencils, cut the whole thing out and adhered it to the bathroom tile background. The paper is Basic Grey's Lily Kate. I cut out a bunch of little squares using my square Nesties, applied Versamark and heat embossed using clear embossing powder after I glued them to my background paper. Then I cut the whole thing out with the Labels die.

I already made another card using the tiles, this time a kitchen scene with Tilda. I'll be sharing that soon. In the meantime, thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day!

One More Sheepy Card

Forgot to post this one with the others. I've been coloring with colored pencils, I don't know why I don't more often. I think it's a little more time consuming than watercoloring, I guess. But there's a lot more control with colored pencils. I like both techniques for coloring though. The paper is a great deal I got on Ebay for the entire collection of Tres Belle papers from My Mind's Eye. Love that collection!

Hope it inspires!

Adorable Elzybells

I was so inspired by another stamper's (paulatracy on SCS) card using these stamps, I had to try it myself! She is a whiz with colored pencils, so I had to give it a whirl. My Prismas have been sitting collecting dust for waaaaay too long! The first card was colored directly on kraft paper, and it has such a unique look, I love it! I made a little shamrock charm from shrink plastic. I didn't have a shamrock stamp, so I used a Studio G heart and stamped it three times instead. Colored it in with pencils, then shrunk it down.

What about this sweet little guy?! I love lambs! Elzybells may have a new customer in me!

Thanks for stopping by!
