Beadazzled

Beadazzled 2014
Happy Wednesday to everyone and I hope you are home and safe from all this crazy weather that is going on. Here for you with another card for  I Brake for Stamps and I want to share my card it you. This is one of Rick St Dennis digital images and it is called Liza and you can find a hole line of his digital images and they also have his rubber stamps at I Brake for Stamps.

Beadazzled 2014  r
I like to share all the views of my card so you can see it from all directions. Added a dragonfly charm and used a different kind of brad to hole that on. My flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts called gypsophila flowers and a few stems of white roses and added some shimmerz color periwinkle to the tips of the roses.

Beadazzled 2014  l
I added a word plate and used a couple of purple brads to hold it on. Some ribbon I had in my stash and made a bow. The paper used is also from my stash.

The dragonfly is a punch from paper studio. As always leave the inside open for a written message or a stamped sentiment.

Took a picture of the flowers. The so called flower pot is a button. I covered it with diamond glaze and them added Suze Weinberg’s beadazzle disco balls let that dry then added the flowers and bow.

These are the copic markers used to color the image. Here is the close up of the image. I added purple embossing puff, white embossing puff and glamour dust and used the versa mark pen to ink up the area were I wanted the puff to stick (on her fur) and heat set the area and it turned out pretty good. Behind Liza I used distress cracked paint clear rock candy and after that dried I used some spica purple ink to add some sparkle. As for the gems I followed the line of where her gems are and used some very tiny ones and a couple little bigger ones.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Things are going pretty good with my craft room and have all the wall paper down in the kitchen. I never really though about this but it is really hard to think of what color????? I want in the kitchen.  Help!!!! We are redoing the cabinets so the painting will be awhile but this color is really hard!!  I hope you like my card. Be safe with the crazy weather.

We’ll be friends forever!

Well be friends forever 2014
Hello everyone and a Happy Wednesday to all! This is such an adorable stamp, I just had to have it. My girlfriends daughter got a baby kitten and I tried to make the kitten look just like the one she got and I also found a magnet that looks pretty close to him. She loved her card and I got a big hug. The stamp you can get at I Brake for Stamps and it is called “girl with kitten” and I think I found the best sentiment. You can find that right here.

Well be friends forever 2014  r

The paper I used with my card was from my scraps so I do not know who made it but I sure thought it was pretty. I stamped her on Crygoen card stock with memento tuxedo black ink. Used a spellbinder to cut the little girl out called big scalloped ovals large. Stamp’in up punch for the sentiment called extra large decorative labels. Sponged around the edges with brilliance ink color coral.

On the inside of the card added a rub on and rhinestone from basic grey called bling it on. Couple more pink pearls. Left it open for the message or a stamped sentiment.
