Happy Birthday to Michelle W2S Blog Hop!

Tweet

Hi everyone!

Happy Birthday Michele!

The Want2Scrap girls and some friends are doing a surprise blog hop in honor of our sweet Michele Parrish.

Michele owns Want2Scrap and is one of the sweetest people you  could ever want meet. I am blessed to have met her in person a few years ago at CHA in Anaheim California.

I am a W2S alumni. Loved her when I was on the team and love her still today. She's truly one of the nicest peeps in the industry!

For Michele's birthday hop, I created a wall hanging using lots of different colors of the 72 Count Pearls and some Pink Pearl Scalloped Heart Nestabling.

The sentiment describes Michele perfectly! Beautiful and original!

Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon
Colors: Prismacolor pencils

Don't forget to leave a comment or birthday wish for Michele on all of the girl's blogs to increase your chances of winning a fun prize! :)

Friends of True's Inky Blog Hop. Win My Entire Swirly Spring Collection!

Tweet

Welcome to the... 

Hi Everyone!

I am so excited today!

I have made tons of wonderful crafty friends since I started making cards and illustrating stamps, so when I wanted to share my latest "Swirly Spring" Inky Antics release, they are the ones I turned to. :)

I sent stamp sets and coordinating papers to a couple dozen friends, and many of them decided to join me in a hop sharing projects created with them! They are all truly AMAZING artists and I can't wait to see what they have created! 
I hope you will hop along with us and check them all out. 

You could win an awesome prize donated by Inky Antics!

One lucky commentor will win all six sets of my Swirly Spring collection!

The winner will be picked (from comments made between now and midnight on Sunday the 10th) on a random blog. Make sure and comment on all of the projects along the hop to increase your chances of winning. Only one comment per blog please. 
The winner will be announced on Monday the 11th here on my blog, so remember to check back and see if you were the lucky one. :)

I chose to use my #1115MC - "Swirly Birds" clear set to create my card.

I also used my #IA-PAC003 "Everything's Coming Up Roses" designer cardstock. 
The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol, then topped with Ranger Stickles.

The die cut shapes are from Spellbinders and the larger flower and leaves were also made with their Bitty Blooms die set. The small roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The pretty ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon, the cardstocks from Discount Card Stock and the pearls from Want2Scrap. (see card recipe below, for links)

Here are a few other projects that I have recently created with my Swirly Spring collection.

Hello Everyone and welcome to another Inky Antics blog hop!

If you've come here from sweet Debbie's blog, you're in the right place!
If you just happened on here, head on back to the Inky blog where it all starts!

Today the girls are sharing some darling new Easter sets with you.

I am using #11091MC "Bunny Parade" clear set, illustrated by the very talented Tammy DeYoung.

Last week I made several projects with this same set (SEE THEM HERE) but they were all very pastel pallets. I wanted to show what the set could look like done in brights today. Talk about two totally different looks from the same stamps!!!  ;)

I guess you could call this a multi-medium card because I used Copics on the sky and grass and Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol on the image. I kind of like the look.  :)

I also stamped and colored several images then fussy cut portions and popped them up with Helmar ZapDots for a 3D effect.

Notice the fun dots on the image background? I kind of CASEd that from my friend Lori Boyd.  I LOVE her coloring! :)

I used a white gel pen to add some extra highlights. The colors bled in and changed the ink from white to pink on the basket but it still works. ;)

The designer paper is from K&Company's - Abrianna stack, and the cardstocks are Discount Card Stock's - Brilliant White, Turquoise, and Violet.

The bright and pretty Orange Swirls ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I used some #dd-135 Summer dew drops from The Robin's Nest to carry out the dots I have going on the image.

By the way....thank you Robin's Nest for all of the beautiful goodies you sent me to play with!

Make sure and leave a comment on all of the girl's blogs so you can get a chance at one of the two awesome Inky Antics prizes that will be given away. Only one entry per blog and the hop ends at midnight Central time on Sunday, March 25. The winners will be announced next Monday on the Inky blog, so make sure and check back to see if you are one of the winners!

Your next stop on the hop is my sweet friend Tex'x blog. I am sure he has something adorable to share with you! :)

Thanks so much for hopping by!

Another of my Inky Antics CHA Cards

Hi Everyone!

I thought I would share another of the cards I created for Inky Antic's CHA booth with you today.

This one was done with their #11068SC "Guided Path" clear stamp set. It comes with a beautiful path image and 3 sentiments.

I chalked the sky then used Prismacolr pencils and Gamsol for the rest of the image.

The beautiful ribbon is Really Reasonable Ribbon's Mauve Satin ribbon.

The flowers were created with Flower Soft.

I hope you all have a wonderful day! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Picadilly Paper Pieced Pumpkin

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

I dare ya to say the title 5 times fast!  ;)

I'm playing along with the girls in today's F4A81 challenge over @ Split Coast Stampers.

We were asked to paper piece our image. I used the "Autumn Blessings" stamp set that I illustrated for Clear Dollar Stamps and some Basic Grey "Picadilly" paper.

I stamped the image on Brilliant White cardstock from Discount Card Stock, then again on the Picadilly paper form their Card Kit. I then shaded the pumpkin with Prismacolor watercolor pencils then colored the rest of the image.

I used the "Autumn Blessings" clear stamp because I had it handy, but this image is also available for instant download! Why wait? ;)

Buy "Autumn Blessings" digi for just $2.50!

 

 I used lots of Ranger Ink, Really Reasonable Ribbon, Helmar, and other company's products to create my card.

Hugs,

True :D
