Make A Wish Mouse

It's time for the Delightful Inspiration challenge this week,  the sweetest little mouse holding a cupcake.

I colored her with prismacolor pencils, used the CB ef, Happy Birthday that came with the die 'make a wish'. some shimmer in the flames and on the cupcake with a glitter pen, paper brads to match and even created a piece of cheese. this card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" and a wee bit too small for the largest die, so chopped off the top! Spread some glossy Accents on the 'make a wish and paper brads. 

Thanks for coming by!

I am loving this card, if I may say so myself. I like the colors and the layout, but most of all I like the sentiment.

          I don't like the fishing line hanging from the tea pot charm, so I cut it off after the photo shoot...LOL
The colors are for a challenge as is the knotted bow and the sketch. I have a few cards that I wanted to get done so I had to improvise and combine the challenges at the get go. the colors are from Embellish magazine, yellow, brown and coral. the sketch is from Waltzingmouse Sketch challenge. the bow is from Digi Doodle Shop challenge blog, 'Tie it up'. My flowers are home made from the paper scraps. the browns in the vertical strip are all scraps that only needed to be shortened.

Home Sweet Home

I am trying to sit at the computer less and sit at my craft table and make more cards and projects. This
Daisy Doodle image, 'Home Sweet Home' was colored and cut with a Nestie and then paper pieced, masked,  sponged, and popped up with dimensionals.

I papered the inside too! I used Prismacolor pencils, oms, markers, ink pads and papers to color the DD image. This birthday card is a 5 1/2 inch square.

Happy Birthday, Honey!!

That's what the sentiment says on this card.  I chose the coffee press to show off the Cat's Pajamas sketch this week. The coffee press is from Daisy Doodles.

Jen is the hostess for TCP Tuesday this week. 

As most of you know, I follow Jen's blog almost as close as my own. She has a style that I enjoy and  admire and a blog that has something for everyone.

I used a TCP sentiment Happy Birthday... and a pot of Honey. My little brown buttons get a little lost in the printed DP. Perhaps a close up and you can see them better. I added GA to the presses's top to make it look like glass. there's stitching all around the card in a coffee brown color. And I made the coffee ring stains using a cup and guess what....coffee! The rings did not show up very well so I added a little Ranger distress ink, Tea Dye to the bottom of the cup and voila, got what I wanted. I actually used the new Prisma Color pencils and OMS for the press. I used the colorless pencil to outline all the image to keep the ink from the printer from bleeding into my coloring. Got that tidbit from Rhonda and her blog. Distressed the smaller pieces after sewing them on in a crooked manner. Sometimes sewing straight just doesn't work for me, especially with the coffee stains.

Before I go, this card is 4 x 8 inches. The DP is from Hot Off the Press and it came in 8 x 8 sheets. Card base is white and sponged, then River Rock cs (3 7/8 x 7 7/8) on top of that.

The light...and no coloring!

He is the light of the world.

No Coloring! I said, "No Coloring." Not one marker or pencil was used in the making of this card. Only ink pads and....sponges. I am not a very good colorer, IMHO (in my humble opinion), so I have to come up with different ideas to get color to paper on the digital images. For example, the light - I used to scraps of paper laid them over the black lines and sponged on Summer Sun. Nearly impossible to mask the waves, so I cut out the white caps and glued them over the Pacific Point and Certain Celery sea. Thre's a Soft Sky sky and Red Riding Hood top of the light house, with Garden Green hill leading to the water and light house. My lighthouse is white and sitting right in the water as the tide has risen and the sea is rough. This image is from Faith of Delightful Inspiration. I believe that I need a 12 step program. I am addicted to Faith's digis, now.
the rest of the card is self explanatory so I will leave you with a short post.

Basket of flowers for a happy bday

Paper pieced another digital image. This is better than coloring with pencils. It takes longer than coloring, but it is more satisfying to me. I suppose that it may be the layering that's involved that has me loving it.

 

First, I laid the basket weave down over the base, then I cut out the C. Celery, then the individual flowers. I took my finger craft knife and cut the green leaves so they would pop up, out and over the flowers. then I glued down the flowers and glitter penned the centers. I used scrap coordinating papers to match the flowers and punched out more flowers in the same papers. the papers are SU and were scraps from the larger pieces.

My image was cut from a Nestie, label 5 and sponged with TH Tea Dye. Ranger's Tim Holtz distressing inks are right next to my work area, I just have to have them close by. The center of the tiny punched out flowers I used a sepia glossy Accents covered with SU's dazzling diamonds. Yes, I have glitter all over me and the desk.
