Bird of Paradise

This week for the Scrapbook stamp society challenge we are using twine.. This is such a challenge for me I see people use it and think that looks good.. but I can never figure out how to add it to a card.
This is a brand new image called Bird of Paradise by Kim Gwin.
I colored the image with copic markers.. I looked on the internet to figure which colors to use on a bird of paradise.. I knew the top was orange ..but was unsure about the rest..
I hope you enjoyed my version of the bird of Paradise..
make sure you join us at the challenge you can win some awesome prizes.
Thanks
Debbie

Dogwood blossom

This card was made with a wonder image by Kim Gwin called Dogwood Bloosom.  I colored this with copic markers.  The layout was inspired by a card I saw in Cards magazine.  I had been wanting to try the twine that everyone is nuts over.. I still do not get why but we had to try.  The Charm is from Michael's .
Thanks for stoppying by .. and make sure you add a charm and jump into Mondays challenge blog for a chance to win some wonderful prizes

Hummingbird by Kim Pipkin Gwin

Good Morning and Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Today I have a beautiful digital image for you from Kim Pipkin Gwin, you can find this wonderful image here.

I really love this image, but had a bit of a hard time coloring it.  I found I had an even worse time trying to put it together in a card.  The image is so pretty that I had a hard time embellishing it.  So, I went the simplistic method and added a ribbon and a simple flower near the bottom.

I colored my digi using Crayola Colored Pencils and blended with Gamsol.  The flower added is a Prima paper flower, and the black pearls are from Queen and Co.

Thanks for taking a look today!

One Tired Santa

I just love this digi by artist Kim Gwin, and can be found here.  When I first saw this graphic, I thought of a very tired Santa who had just completed his magical night of delivering toys to the good little boys and girls.

I colored this digi with Crayola Colored Pencils and blended with Gamsol.  I then inked the edges of the colored digi with black.  I was hoping to achive the look of the items being  covered with soot from Santa going down millions of chimney's on Christmas Eve.

Kim is a great artist, check out her work on the Scrapbook Stamp Society site here.

Black Orchid

This Card was made with an image from Scrapbook Stamp Society called Orchid digi by Kim Gwin

This card was made for the Black challenge going on at Scrapbook Stamp Society challenge Blog.   They are letting you use an image not by them.. but your Prize is way better is you use one of theirs.  

I colored this using copic markers.  and yes there is  a black orchid. I copied a photo to do this.  

The Die is from Spellbinder.

Make sure you get out your black and join this challenge.. I want to see your cards.

The saying is unknown.

I made the card and journal for my mum because she just loves flowers.

 Just a little something to let her know I do think about her. I moved to the other 

side of Melbourne and don't visit often anymore. She still remains a part 

of my heart and always will.
