Buckle Up Tilda

Welcome,


A while back I participated in the March Hero Arts Challenge.   For one of my cards I made a buckle card.  I really liked the format, so I made a two more.  I kept the same general theme, but changed up the images.

 Inside of the card:

Copics used:

Skin: E13, E11, E000, E00, R20

Yellow: Y11, Y13, Y15, Y17, E13

Butterfly Wrap

Greetings Friends,

I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  I'm loving this warmer weather.  We went to the lake for the first time this season.  It was felt good to be there.  We are starting to make some preparations for the summer!!!   Unfortunately I caught a bug.  It has knocked me on my butt.  The doctor says I need to rest for a few days.  I checked with my 2 year old boss.  I'm not sure I'll get a day off.  No worries...we will make the best of it.

Today's card features an old retired stamp called Swallowtail from Stampin Up.  I managed to pick this guy up at a garage sale.  I'm so surprised that anyone would part with such a gorgeous stamp. 

When I inked it up I realized just how big this stamp is.  It is huge! You really can't fit it on the a card front.    I couldn't bear to cut the butterfly...so this was my solution.

 Copics used:

Pink: R20, R21, R22, R24
Blue: BG10, BG11. BG13, BG15
Grey: C3, C1
I did darken some areas with 100

Hello all,

I'm a little behind in blogging.  This week has been crazy busy.   Last weekend, we made our annual trip to Akron for the Adventures in Stamping convention.  I had a great time teaching copics to a wonderful group of ladies.    Stampers really are the best people!

I spent this week trying to chip away at my "to do" list.   I managed to get one huge project crossed off.  All of my house mouse stamps are officially unmounted.    I have been debating about doing this for a long time.   But I got so sick of searching through wood blocks to find a stamp.  I also hate that I couldn't use them in my MISTI.   It took my 3 weeks, but it is done!   WHOO HOO!!

Somehow in the middle of all of that.. I made 2 scrapbook pages of Ryan.   I'm so excited to see my list dwindle a bit.  I have no doubt that it will be full again soon, but I'm determined to enjoy this while it lasts! 

I'm going to try to catch up on the blog this week and next.   Here is the first card in line...

We made this in last month's Card Lover's class.  I love the simplicity of this technique.  I think it the most popular card last month.   I had a lot of requests to do this again soon. 

No copics today
