Breaking News!!!


This is the card I made for My Daughter Nicole's 25th birthday. Nicole is a TV reporter for a station in Omaha. 
With this being her first big kids job. I wanted something special and unique.
When I saw that Sherri Baldy was doing Custom Avatar portraits  I knew I had found the image I wanted.
All you have to do is send Sherri a photo and she creates the magic.
This is what I sent Sherri
Sherri took the photo and gave me a color drawing which I framed and is part of Nicole's birthday gift.
and I also received a line drawing which I used to make the card.

The image was colored with Copic markers.  To make this card I used red, black and white paper.  The saying is a digital saying which I made up. 
I cut an oval opening in the red paper then I embossed the paper.  Next using Memories white dye ink I highlighted the embossing.  The next step was to  take the next size smaller die and cut a hole in the black paper 
and this I used to create a matted look.  .. I mounted the red on the black then centered my image. and then mounted it all on the white card stock.  The corners are black nail heads.
I hope you enjoyed this card.  and also can put up with a Mom's bragging.
thanks for looking

Marie Antoinette


It was my turn to set the challenge over at The Daring Cardmakers Challenge blog this week (pop over to join in), and I set the theme of Marie Antoinette, which gave me an excuse to use one of my favourite digi stamps.

After looking at some photos of the Palace of Versailles, I wanted to recreate the lovely rich golds and gorgeous chandeliers. Hope you like it!

So many ideas for the "My Hearts Just For You" digi

Hi everyone.  This is my first post for the Scrapbook Stamp Society Dream Team Girls.  I was so excited last week to have the opportunity to start working with their digis.  I designed three different
5 X 7cards using a wonderful image by the artist Sherri Baldy. When I first saw the image, I immediately thought of Valentine's Day but given the time of month, I proceeded to make three Birthday cards.  For all the details, please visit my blog:  www.delightfuldesignsbykatherine.com/blog
I'll be back soon.  Enjoy your day.  Katherine
