Touch of Spring

It is amazing how fast time fly's.  We decided to put a pool in our yard and that took a lot of time to oversee and get complete.  of course once done and to spend time enjoying.  I have since found out I will be a grandma soon.  We look forward to welcoming our granddaughter into our lives.  Finally have found time to get back to crafting and making cards.  Below is a card with an image from Stamping Bella, love the Uptown Girl collection.  Went through a run of loving the new Stampin Up Coastal Cabana color and some of the designer papers that matched.  She was colored with Copics markers.  

Of course I needed to color some Besties as well.  Had a love of purple as well recently.

My daughter is trying to help me get myself organized the downside of using card making to relax means I have lots of cards in a box.  Need to get them posted on easy so that I can make room for more.

Some more of the digital images for Valentines Day.  This is Lil Boo from Lacy Sunshine.  She is colored with copic markers and then I added some diamond stickles to make the XOXO stand out.  Pearls were used for the buttons on each of her pajamas.

Pickles Sharing the Love

Here are a couple of different versions of Pickles Sharing the Love digital image.  I wanted something that would work well for a boy so I colored the balloon using browns and since it was for valentines day I had to use reds.  Didn't know if I would like the brown on the balloon but when he was all done I think it turned out to be my favorite.  This was my first attempt at trying to color a sky background.

Queen of Hearts

 Coloring some images for Valentines day.  Found this digital image on Lacy Sunshine website and had to color her.  This image doesn't show how she really looks when I added the diamond stickles to the white shades.

The picture below gives you a little bit of the glitter added to the white areas.  Love how she came out.  Now I need to make her into a card.

Polka Dot Butterfly

I got the Sweet Shop designer paper from the Occasions mini and had to find a way to use the purple polka dot paper.  Used the blushing bride paper as one of the layers as well as the butterfly base.  The ribbon come already pleated and is also the blushing bride ribbon.  Saw the butterfly with vellum on the top on splitcoaststamper.com.  I then used the score pad to put the design on the whisper white paper.  Then used the pearls at the intersections.  I figure I can use the card for any occasion so opted not to put any sentiment on the front until I decide how to use.
