Hi, welcome to March... such a fun month.. in Las Vegas this means our temperature is starting to rise and the winds are blowing, from the north to remind us that it is still cold in many places.

And when we think of March the Irish in all of us come out.

This card was made using a great image from Scrapbook Stamp Society called Garden Nellie   This is just such a sweet image the artist is Sherri Baldy.  

I colored the image with copic markers and cut her out using a spellbinder die..

The background is designer paper and  I used a lace border die from Cheery Lynn for the belly band and I used some of the New Cheery Lynn corner dies in the corner..

Thanks for stoping by.

Garden Patch - Nellie & Duckies by Sherri Baldy

Hello everyone

Here is my card for the challenge on our challenge blog.  I just love this image and is ideal for spring and easter with the adorable chicks. 

Recipe & Method

1. Base card is pearlescent pink Centura card which I have scored to make an easel card.
2. I printed off the image onto Neenah card and then coloured in using my watercolour pencils. I then cut this using Spellbinder labels 23 and distressed around the edges using Dew Drops VersaMagic pixie dust.
3. Using Spellbinder dies Lattice Motifs and Accents design by Sue Wilson I cut out the corners, the border and the ribbon holder with white pearlescent Centura card.
4. I placed the border onto the folded front of the easel and placed the topper over this. The corners were added to the base of the card and I threaded pink iridescent ribbon to either side of the ribbon holder and adhered to the strip of card which I had inked using Dew Drops Brilliance ink pearlescent orchid.
5. I have added gems to the corners, ribbon holder and top right hand corner of the card; the flowers are from my crafty stash.

Thank you for stopping by Today

Butterfly Fairy

Well its getting to that time of the month when the new challenges are going live over at addicted-to-stamps and
Scrapbook Stamp Society, and have we got some challenges for you.......
This week the theme is The Garden Patch, and this is my card for the week.........

Its from a Digi Stamp by Sue Miller, and is a wonderful Hippy Fairy dancing on a Flower. Isnt she cute?
I coloured the design with my Promarkers, adding some glitter to the birds and flower centre, and then trimmed the image to size. I wanted the body to stand out from the card, so I carefully ran a knife around the edge of the fairy, being careful not to cut her out completely, and added a bit of Blue mica around the edge of her body.
.

Then I used the Spell Binders Lattice Rectangles die to cut the a sheet of Coredinations, I mounted the image and die cut onto some paper I had found in a water damaged book of William Morris designs.
I used the Blue Pearl Promarker to colour some White dotted ribbon, and the heads of 2 of the hat pins. I then fixed the ribbon to the back of the paper with some DST, and made a bow with the remnants. I cut the long shafts off the pins, and used Silicon Glue to fix the 3 pins, (One was left white,) and the bow. I also added a couple of butterflies to continue the Theme outside the main image, and draw the eye in to the picture.

GARDEN NELLIE LIL DOLLIE & POLLY POLKA DOT~

Hello Friends!!!

Here are two fun cards I created today. I used paper piecing and copic markers to create these cards. I am really loving the technique of paper piecing as it gives me an alternative to create more aside from coloring.


Here is the first card I made using the digi image Garden Nellie Lil Dollie by Sherri Baldy~




A close up pic for you with details:



I paper pieced her outfit and ribbon on the hat with designer paper from DCWV Flower Shower Spring Mat Stack and colored with copic markers. I also paper pieced her hat using a mustard color card stock paper from DCWV. I embellished the card with a Recollection floral and lace trim. I distressed the card using Studio G pastel blue chalk ink. The background paper I used is a butterfly design from Prima's Reflection collection.

Here is the 2nd card I created using Polly Polka Dot by Sherri Baldy.



A close up pic for you with details:



I paper pieced her outfit and hair bow with designer paper from K&Co's Spring Blossom Spring Mat Stack and colored with copic markers. I embellished the card with a lovely hot pink trim from Bo Bunny, glittered ribbon I had in my stash, an iridescent pink bow applique and pink rhinestones. I distressed the card using Tim Holtz distressing inks in Worn Lipstick and Tattered Rose. The background paper is a pink card stock and floral rose pattern from the same K&CO. mat stack. I added the sentiment 100% Girly Girl from the Girl Stamp set by Recollections and used my Marvy Scallop circle punch.

I hope you enjoyed my projects. Please feel free to leave me a comment as they are always appreciated. Thank you very much!!!!

Much Aloha~

After Valentine's Cards ~Sherri Baldy Images~

I had to make a ton of different Valentine cards this month and sort of had trouble keeping up with them all.

The digi stamps made them that much easier to make and work with!

This lovely image was created by Sherri Baldy.

It's called Lil Ragamuffin Hearts and Roses.

I colored her for my niece with copic markers. Used sentiment stamps, glittery hearts, studio g ribbon and DCWV paper! It hasn't been sent yet, I know it's late...shhhh.

Another fabulous card by Sherri Baldy. 

Lil Ragamuffin 'Here's My Heart'

I loved coloring her with the deep red and the pinks.

Aren't they adorable? Okay or they could be pretty!

They are also by Sherry Baldy and called Fly Away Hearts!

I decided to stamp some sentiments into the balloons.

I've seen many fabulous things done with this digi.

and last but not least....

My Hearts Just for You by Sherri Baldy

I may have more Valentine/Love cards and if so I will be showcasing them within the week!

If you click on the links, they will take you to where you can purchase the digi for yourself!

The neat thing about these digi stamps are they don't have to be used for Valentine's only. 

They are very versatile and can be used for any kind of card, layout, or project.

For me at the time they worked out great on Valentine cards!

Lots of love,

Jamie
