2 Cute Ink - Birthday Turtle

 

Happy Saturday!

I have a new post, a birthday card I made for our grand-niece who turned 2 on Thursday.  I had some time last Saturday to make January birthday cards.  It was so nice to stamp and color, first cards for 2019.

This card uses a digital image from 2 Cute Ink - Birthday Turtle. It is colored with Copic markers and the patterned papers are Simple Stories "Summer Fresh".  The image was cut out with my Brother Scan N Cut.

Copic Colors: 

Turtle: G40, G43, G46 and E21, E23

Balloon and Hat: R17 and R29

2 Cute Ink - Honey Bear

Happy Sunday!

I thought I would post today, rather than next Saturday,

because this sweet image is a freebie in August!

So there is still time to get this freebie - Heidi is offering it 

on her Facebook fan page.  Heidi contacted me a couple weeks ago

asking if I would make a couple cards for her.  

She sent me 2 new images, Honey Bear and Turtle Birthday.

I will have the second card posted in a couple weeks.

2 Cute Ink - Flower Girl

Happy Saturday!

I needed a girl card for an August birthday this week.  I went through my 

digital stamps and found this cute one from 2CuteInk - Sunflower Girl.

Close Up: 

I haven't colored in so long I wasn't sure I remembered how,

but I think it turned out OK.  I haven't used the sewing machine 

in some time either.  It was dusty!

Sketch Saturday Challenge #324

Happy Saturday!

We have a new sketch today at Sketch Saturday and our sponsor is 2 Cute Ink!  The prize is 2 images of the winners choice.

We have a great sketch today designed by Vannessa.

I used a new release from last month - Boy and Frog, such a cute image.  I figured if this little boy was catching frogs he was bound to be muddy.  It is my husband's birthday today so this is his card.  

I used several dies for this card.  The grass is an A|Muse die.  The cloud border is from Taylored Expressions.  I didn't want to cover the cloud paper so I went with vellum.  It has been some time since I used vellum and I'm seeing it a lot again.

2 Cute Ink Callenge #106 - Use Glitter

Happy Monday!

There is a fun new challenge at 2 Cute Ink today - Use Glitter!  The image is Panda Love. I need a couple anniversary cards this month, so this image seemed perfect for our friends and the challenge too.

I don't use glitter all that often but I love it.  Seems like I always have trouble with the glue and coverage.  So this time I tried something new {to me}.  I printed out 2 images, die cut one and colored the heart using Copics.  Then applied crystal accents {rather than glue} to the heart and added Prisma Glitter.  Wow - super glittery, great coverage and dimensional.  Where has this technique been all my life ;).

The super cute panda were colored on the second image, cut out and popped on the heart.  So glad the glitter photographed well too.
