A Day For Daisies - Flowers in Bottles

Happy Saturday!

Today, I have a card using a digital image from A Day For Daisies - Flowers in Bottles.   I hadn't used a digital image in awhile so I printed several different images and started coloring while watching TV.  I should do that more often it was very productive.  

A Day For Daisies was one of my favorite digi shops, they closed a few years ago and it doesn't seem like they ever reopened.  You can find images on pinterest and the blog is still up. They gave a lot of free images if you went to their blog and joined their challenges. 

To use a digital image, I use Word to size the image and get multiples on the page.  Then print.  I have a laser printer, which works best.  The ink is heat set so you don't have to worry about ink smearing when coloring.   I use X-Press it cardstock in the printer for these images to color with Copic markers. 

Close Up:

Cardstock: PaperTrey Ink Aqua Mist & Smokey Shadow
Patterned Papers: Pebbles Seen & Noted
Copic Colors: BG000, BG10, R21, R22, R24

 Happy Saturday!

Today, I have a birthday card using My Favorite Things "It's a Mice Time to Celebrate".  I made a couple versions varying the color of the mice, present and cardstock.  

This is a cute set, love the dancing mice, which were colored with Copic markers.  I added some stitching as a border and some sequins to make it a party scene.

My Favorite Things - Being with You Valentine

Happy Saturday!

Today, I have the Valentine I made for Mark.  I used My Favorite Things "Being With You" clear stamp set.  It is really a sweet stamp set with several cute images to choose from bunnies, bears, turtles and birds.

I stamped the images on X-Press It cardstock with Mementos black ink.  The birds were stamped on a separate piece and cut out.  I colored the images with Copic Markers and applied light blue chalk to the background.  The birds were added with pop dots.

Unity - What a Buck Birthday

Happy Saturday!

Today, I have a masculine birthday card to share using a stamp from Unity called "What a Buck".  I paired it will PaperTrey Ink patterned papers called "3-piece suit" and cardstock Dark Chocolate, Kraft and Vintage Cream.  


The layered die is a really old one from Clear Dollar Stamps - Designer Label set of 3.  I'm not sure where or when I bought it, possibly a craft show over 10 years ago.  I think it really dressed up this card with the layers and eyelets.  

The sentiment is from My favorite Things - Itty Bitty Birthday.  I inked the edges of the stamped image and sentiment label with PTI inks Honey Nut and Dark Chocolate.

Blessings to you
