Relaxation... canvas fun!

Hello hello my friends, I hope you had a great holiday weekend!  I had a long weekend...woohoo!  So happy and got some major relaxation, it's very much needed, hehe!   And I even got to hang out with my crafty friends too.  We went shopping at our local scrapbooking store and brought a bunch of new goodies!!!  Plus, one of my good friend Karen who totally inspired me to create a canvas (She creates beautiful projects, you can check out her blog, HERE!).  So, I did.  Thanks Karen!!!

For my canvas, I created the background using Pan Pastel, the beautiful fence is a stencil from Prima using acyclic paint, the fun lawn is created by using Dylusions stamp set and then colored with neocolor II crayons.  And the Prima girl was colored with neocolor II crayons and Faber Castell aquaelle watercolor pencils and adhered on using matte medium.   And I finished it up with some stickles.  Viola!!!  

Off I go, blog you later.... I'm making another canvas, will show you when I finish with it.  

Helloooo...

Hello hello and happy Tuesday!  

I have another fun post using Sushi Dolls digital stamps.

For my first card, I can't get enough of the Dia de los Muertos collection.  I just adorable of the characters and this is called Hi.  Isn't she super awesome?  I created a simple card using a fun pattern paper from American Craft Amy Tangerine sketchbook paper pad, filmstrip washi paper tape, yellow chevron paper (created by using distress ink pad in squeezed lemonade and chevron stencil) and twine.

And for the second card, I used one of the new Fairytale collection, this is called MingNa.  She is so sweet and absolutely darling!  I also colored her with copic markers.  And for the background, I once again used a stencil (yes, I'm insane about them... love, love, LOVE and so fun) and misted it with Heidi Swapp color shine in cherry.  And finished it up with a sentiment.  Viola!

Hope you think them!  Want to see more Sushi Dolls?!  Check out the Sushi Dolls blog or shop!

Hello Ms. Garcia!

Hello hello!  I know the summer is not over yet...  

And yes, I don't want to be over yet either.  But how can you say 'no' to this adorable teacher?!

This is Ms. Garcia from the Sushi Dolls August release Back to School collection.

Isn't she so so cute?

So, I decided to make a tag instead of a card.  To create the background, I used a 6x6 template mini numbers stencil from Balzer designs and dabbed with Ranger white acyclic paint.  Once dried, I used a blending tool and added some colors with distress ink in spun sugar, worn lipstick, and picked raspberry.  I colored Ms. Garcia with copic markers, I added glossy accent on her glasses and yellow stickles on her big star.  To finished the tag, I added a border, decorative tape, a sentiment, and some twine.  Viola!

Hop over to the Sushi Dolls blog and shop to check out the Back to School collection... 

Plus, they have a lot more super fun digi's.  

Coffee divas!

Hello and happy Monday, hope you had a fantastic weekend!

Up for a cup of coffee and join these wonderful Girlfriends from Art Impressions?

For today's card, I used the Girlfriends Blend Set (SKU#4132).

I used the chevron stencil, distress ink in squeezed lemonade, and a blending tool to 

create the background. 

I added a piece of black chalk tape.  Then, I colored the Girlfriends with Copic markers, 

cut them out and adhered them with foam tape, and finished it with a sentiment.

Hope you like it and have a great day!

Sister Stamps release #16 - Day 2

Hello and happy Tuesday, I hope you had lots of fun yesterday and 

have a chance to check out this adorable new release from Sister Stamps!  

If no, click HERE!

Well, welcome back to Day 2!!!

Since, it's Day 2... I have two projects for you today. 

For the first project, I used the Octopus set and the turtle set.  

I colored the Sea Creatures with Copic markers, I also created a 'sea weed' background using a stencil and distress ink pad.  I then added a frame from Spellbinders, gorgeous pattern paper from Atlantic collection from Studio Calico, a ribbon, some natural twine from Timeless Twine, and an anchor.

And for the second project, I used the turtle set.

I picked out a 'door sign' from a craft store.  Then I added on gesso and Viva Decor 3D stamp-paint & Inka Gold to create a texture background.  I used the Time Holtz Sizzix die wordplay to cut out the word 'friends' with card board and inked them Inka Gold paint.  For the adorable turtle, I colored them with Copic markers and adhered on with foam dots.

Well, that's it for me today!  And don't forget to check out the Sister Stamps' blog 

and check out the other amazing DT ladies too!

See you tomorrow for DAY 3!!!

Beautiful windows cards...

Hello hello and happy Monday!  I hope you had a fabulous weekend.

Today I have two simple cards to share using the Windows to the World collection from 

Art Impressions!

I used the same background for both cards.   I used the gorgeous stencil and created the 

background using distress ink pad in tea dye

I stamped this beautiful Island Window (SKU# M3178) with archival ink on watercolor paper 

and colored it using distress markers.

To finish the card, I distressed the edges and added a twine bow.

And I did the same with the second card and I used Lighthouse Window (SKU# M3175).

Here is a closer look!

I hope that you like them and have a great day!

Happy Saturday!

Hello hello and hope you are having a fabulous weekend!  It's beautiful in my neck of the woods... 

And our outdoor furniture is out, I sat on my deck, enjoyed the beautiful day, and craft the day away!

Life sure is GOOD!

Anyways, I recently found out about these Sushi Doll, they are so so cool and super cute!

Both of these images are from the Dia de los Muertos collection.

Here is the first card, I used Choco, isn't she awesome?  I'm not a morning person... so this is totally perfect!  I thought it would be fun to have 2 Choco.  I kept the card simple.  I colored Choco with copic markers and added a wooden veneer sentiment 'daydream' and some twine. 

And the second project, I did a little bit of paper piecing with Glasses (her dress).  I started to color image with Copic markers, and her paper pieced dress is created by printing another image and stamped with a background stamp (for some silly reason,  I never figure out which side of paper I have to put the pattern paper in the printer, haha).  Since, I have been dying to do something other than a card and mixed media-ish...  got to get my finger inky.  So, I got a wood plaque from the craft store and gone bananas.   First, I painted the plaque with white acyclic paint, covered most of it with my beloved washi tape, added more colors and texture with Faber Castell gelatos and Viva 3D stamp paint, and added a bit more decorations.   

Well, I hope you like them and thanks so much for stopping by.

Flowers, flowers, and more flowers...

Hello hello, April has come and gone, now May is here... Time to bring on the flowers!

I had so much fun working the paper flowers from Eyelet Outlet a while back, I decided to create a couple more projects.

And decorated the frame with  pearl bling strips, green checked paper flowers, and 12mm pewter pearl brads and Memory Box lavish brunch dies.

To create the 3D flowers, I used at least 3 flowers (different sizes),  first I distressed the edges with distressed ink pad in black soot, added the center brad to secure... then I sprayed flowers with perfect pearl mist until the flowers are sufficient soaked, then I shaped until desired.
