Classic Get Well

A very dear friend of ours has been having some health issues for the last few weeks. This is a first for him and is very scary. The dry embossed mat was embossed with the new Cuttlebug Diamond Plate EF. The edges of the main image are lightly sponged with brocade blue ink. I got my inspiration for this card from sf9erfan....

Thanks Michelle for your fabulous work to inspire many people around the world! MWAH!!!!

A Classic Birthday Inside

I normally don't do too much as far as decorating the inside but wanted to do a little something different. The sides of the mat and main image piece are distressed like the outside.

Stepped Down

I am very sorry but I have had to step down from Sunshine's Stamps for the time being. Too many things are going on that need my full, undivided attention right now. I am hoping to go back to the team when things get calmed down again. Thanks for the encouragement and fabulous comments about my DT work!!!

Flying By Birthday

My DS's birthday is coming up in a couple weeks and he adores helicopters. Maybe mom is finally getting on the ball and getting his card ready AHEAD of time...lol! This is a real shocker!!!!! My DS and I love this Digi Image by Sunshine Stamps. I printed this image on GP cardstock from WalMart and colored it with copics. The first couple of times I tried didn't work so, I let it sit for at least a couple hours instead of rushing as usual and voila! Thanks Tami and the other gals on the DT for the suggestions on coloring digi images with copics. You gals ROCK!!!! Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!

Supplies Used:
Ink: Digi Image, Copics
Stamps: Hockerdocker Helicopter Digi Image by Sunshine Stamps
CS: SU! NQN, Old Olive, Bashful Blue and GP White CS, SU! Maine Blueberry DP (ret)

A Little Divaness

This card is a little out of my comfort zone but I wanted to try something different. The image is the Hot To Trot image from Sunshine's Stamps. You can purchase this image here. I am really loving these digital images! This is the first one I've ever tried. This was really simple to make. The hardest part was probably painting the flower ribbon sliders...lol. I painted them with deep coral Making Memories paint. I got my inspiration from here. Thanks Amy for inspiring me with your stunning work!

Ink: printed image
CS: PTI White and SU! Basic Black CS, SU! Prints Pack (ret)
Stamps: digital image
Acc: Lg Circle Nesties, Lg Scallop Nesties, Coal Shimmerz Paint, Pop Dots, Foam Squares, Prisma Pencil, Black Buttons (DCWV), SU! Flower Ribbon Sliders, MM Deep Coral Paint
