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!!!!

Time for Tea~ Lil Sweetie Tea Party

Hello Friends!!!

Happy Thursday to all of you!!! I hope all of you are enjoying your day. Today I want to share with you a card I created using Lil Sweetie Tea Party by Sherri Baldy. You can find her HERE. She is just simply darling!!!



I colored this image using copic markers.

I embellished the card with designer paper from Fancypants called Simplicity. It has beautiful light pink roses and a touch of light green on the leaves. I used a light pink ruffle trim from my stash, a pink organza ribbon bow, WOC and Recollection mulberry paper flowers, leaves I punched with a Martha Stewart punch, as well as using the MS's doily lace punch for the border. Lastly, I added two of my handmade beaded stick pins, stickles, and a pink bow applique.

Here are some other close up pics~

Pretty in Pink Challenge~

I am posting my design team project for the Scrapbook Stamp Society Pretty in Pink Challenge. My favorite color is pink so how can I not join this challenge. *SMILE*

I decided to alter a cigar box. I have always wanted to alter one so this was my chance to create one.

I used the Marie Let them eat Cupcake digi stamp by Sherri Baldy.

I covered the cigar box with K&CO Valentine Specialty paper. I colored Marie with copic markers (B00, C1, E00, E13, E57, R20, R29, RV10, RV11, RV13, RV14, RV17, RV63, YG13, Y06). I distress the edges of the box with Apple Barrel's magenta acrylic paint and Daler Rowney's FW Pearlescent liquid acrylic in Platinum Pink. The embellishments are Wild Orchid Crafts paper flowers, misc. mini paper roses, stickles, rhinestones, Maya mist (doesn't say color on bottle *SIGH*) vintage scallop lace trim, and one of my handmade beaded stick pins with butterfly charm.

A side view of the front of the box accented with pink cardstock and a piece of vintage lace applique:

Here is the inside of the front cover. I decoupaged some rose cupcake liners for my background, K&CO Valentine's borders, mini paper roses, and one of my handmade stick pins. I added the same acrylic paints to add some distressing to it. I added an image I had in my stash of Marie. It's one of my favorites.

The inside of the box is lined with pink soft felt and edged with a beautiful rose trim. I also lined the box with more vintage lace I had in my stash. I enclosed some yummy goodies in it.

I hope you enjoyed my project. Please be sure to cast your vote at: Scrapbook Stamp Society Pretty in Pink Challenge. Thank you!!!
