"A Little Birdie Told Us...



Hello All,
Hubby took me to Hobby Lobby on a shopping spree last weekend as an extension of my Christmas and I went a little crazy! These pretty incandescent/metallic papers are from "The Paper Studio" they are normally $1.99 a sheet but were on sale for 50% off! Needless to say.....I had to get lots since they were on sale! Right girls? ;)
The "Crystal Domes" ( pink sparkly half pearls) are new too.
The CS is Stampin' Up and the DP is K&Company's "Wild Raspberry".
The stamp is from "Inky Antics"". I bought it when I first started stamping and painted it in multiples... some of which got thrown in a craft drawer. One of my resolutions is to use some of my already colored images up! ;)




I am entering this card in the following challenges:
ABC - "L" is for...Layering
Got Layers!
One Stop Craft Challenge - Something that begins with a "B"
Bird and buddies!
Corrosive - "These are a few of my favorite things"
Use 2 of your fave embellies -
again...ribbons and gems/pearls ;)
Crafty Angels - Recycle
I pulled another old colored image from my forgotten started projects
Everybody Art - Favorite color combo
I love GREEN and any other color! LOL!
Paper Play - Precious Metals
I used the metallic papers
Cute Card Thursday - All New (use something new)
I used new papers and half pearls.
SCS Ways to Use It - In With The New ( use something new)
I used new papers and half pearls.

If you have not already signed up for my latest BLOG CANDY....no better time than the present. ;)

Please leave a comment ~You know I adore them!

Hugs,
True :)

Cuddly Buddly Bear Card

Hello!
Glad you dropped by!
This card was made with a "Cuddly Buddly" stamp. I love their digi images but with their rubber stamps I am able to match the exact colors I want to my choice of papers.
This little guy was water colored (in small circular motions for texture) then popped several times. His balloon has been hit with "Stickles" and then "Crystal Effects".
.

The ribbon was done with shimmering watercolors to give it a satin effect. I used white acrylic paint for the dots on his feet, tie and ears.
Remember...you can click on the pictures for a closer view of the details

The papers are "Stampin Up" and "DCWV".
Want to see more pictures? Check them out on my eBay auction...HERE.
Please leave a note to let me know what you think and so I will know that you were here! ;)
