Our Pelican Pun

 Yes, I know this is nearly over-the-top - and the eyebrows of Mr. Peli-Can don't help the overall pun -- but the message is still good. We all need to remember to be positive about what we can accomplish, right? The background is the Zen Shells stamp, the focal image is Be A Pelican (colored with Copic Markers).

Sundae on Sunday

 

Yes...it is Sunday and I am posting a Sundae. How punny is that? There should be room for ice cream and sweets in your life once in a while, though, even if not every Sunday. My Copic colored waffle bowl sundae reminds me of my favorite ice cream, black raspberry it always comes as a pinky-purply ball of yummy goodness, like the stencil in the background from A Colorful Life Designs. What is your favorite flavor?

Glittery Framed Seascape

 Nuvo Glitter Markers never fail to impress me! I have had the same set of markers for years and they still provide beautiful, intense, stay-put glittery color. I used them today on the Framed Seascape Stamp, and added on of the sentiments from the Ocean Framed sentiments in the center.

Every Day should be a Sundae!

 Hi there!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog. I have 2 'sweet' cards to share today, using a fun new release stamp, #SD1105 Sundae, from Technique Junkies. What a great stamp - I'm totally in favor of making every day a Sundae, how about you?

Here's my first card:

I wish you could see all the shiny goodness on this card. The image was colored with Copics, and the ice cream and strawberry were covered with Glossy Accents. In real life, this looks totally yummy! The background clouds were created with Ink Blending Brushes, and A Colorful Life Designs 'Cloud Edger' Stencil.

This card was also colored with Copics, and embellished with Glossy Accents. Seriously, does this not look good enough to eat?  

These were pretty easy to create, and I'm having a lot of fun with the June release! However, I think I'm going to have to say goodbye for today, and go eat some ice cream!!!

So glad you stopped by today!

Now, be sure to head over to the Technique Junkies store and check out the incredible June release!

Sketched Beach and Fireworks

 Hi there!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog. I have three fun cards to share today.

The first two cards feature a June release stamp, #S907 Sketched Beach.

The first card was stamped with black Memento Ink,  colored with Copic Markers, and adhered to the card base. The sentiment is from an older Technique Junkies set #SS02b Simple Sentiments Set 2, Style b.  I love these little sentiments - there are two different sets, and they are perfect for all occasions!

This card uses a sentiment from the same sentiment set.  For this card, the image was stamped, and then ink blending brushes were used to add some color to the panel. I then used two dies, cutting out part of the image, and matting it with cardstock to match the card base. The first layer was adhered directly to the card base, and after matting, each of the next two layers were adhered using dimensional foam.

As our Independence Day is approaching, I thought it would be fun to play with some fireworks and sparkle!  I used two older stamps #S756 Fireworks, and #SD808 Like Fireworks for this card. The image was stamped with blue ink, and some stickles were used, along with some rhinestones, to add some shimmer and shine to the panel. A couple of pieces of silver cardstock were placed behind the panel, and finally, the panel was adhered to the card base.

I'm really enjoying this June release! Hope you are too!!!

So glad you stopped by today!

Shimmering Mermaid Tail

 Are you a fish or a mermaid? I'd like to think I'm a mermaid! The tail was colored with Nuvo Glitter Markers and the Background is the ACLD Currents Stencil that has been sprayed with Multiple Colors of Shimmering Bliss: Dolphin Cove, Vivid Volt, and Mermaid.

The stencil was held down with Pixie Spray - creating gorgeous distinct lines.
