Mirror Mirror on the Wall.....

Here is a new card I created using Mirror Mirror from Lili of the Valley. I love these Lili of the Valley images, they are so very cute!!!
I used my Webster's Pages Sweet Treats paper with this cutie image. I love Webster's Pages paper, the designs are just gorgeous. The hardest part of using them, is that I do not want to cover any of it up!!! I love these papers, as they are super feminine in colors and design, and I thought they went perfect with this super girlie image! I also added a Lili of the Valley sentiment from the Dreamy Days collection, amazing stamp set, I just LOVE it!!!
I colored the image with copics
Skin - E00, E000, R20
Hair - E33, E31, E50
Dress, Tights, and Bow- R89, R87, R85, R81, RV10
Shoes - E42, E40
Mirror - E27, E23, E50, E31, B0000
I added Viva Decor Pearl Pen in white to her pearls to give them a realistic look.

I added lots of flowers to this card. I used Wild Orchid dark pink 25mm roses, cream aster daisies, cream and dark pink 15mm roses, and Petaloo Honey Suckle Vine in pink. I also added Doohickey Branch dies to the arrangement.
I kept the inside of the card very simple, as I wanted lots of room for a personal note. I just kept the Kraft base and added some of the pretty cardstock scraps to the top with a silk bow.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Lili of the Valley - Anything Goes
Paper Sundaes - Girlie Girl
Totally Gorjuss - Flower Power
Shabby Tea Room - Pink, Green, Neutrals, and Flowers

Oldie But A Goodie GDT- Teddy Bears' Picnic

I am May's Guest Designer for Oldie But A Goodie, and I am loving inking up some older stamps in my stash this month. This week the theme is Teddy Bears' Picnic, so anything with teddy bears is a go. This challenge was a bit hard for me, as I do not have a lot of teddy bear stamps in my collection. As I was going through things, I found this older Lili of the Valley image, Deckchair Dreaming, and thought he was just perfect for this theme.
I do not create masculine cards very often, but I love it when I get the opportunity. I used Graphic 45, A Proper Gentleman, paper collection for this card, and I LOVE the vintage tie patterns. This paper is just gorgeous, and I thought it matched up perfectly with this little image and perfect for a Father's Day card.
I colored up this chillin' cutie with copics:
Bear - E25, E33, E31, E50, R20
Birdie - Y00, Y11, Y13
Chair - R29, R27, R24, E55, E53, E57
Grass - G20, G24, YG03, YG63, G40
Newspaper - E40, E41
Lemonade Glass - B000, Y00, R24
I added somd graphic 45 black ribbon to try to keep the card looking very masculine. The sentiment, "Chill Out", is from a Greeting Farm set I have, My Guy Ian. I thought it was the perfect sentiment for this card. Makes me want to grab a glass and a chair and go out and join him in his snooze-fest. LOL
I hope you will ink up some of those older Teddy Bear stamps and come out and join us at Oldie But A Goodie for the Teddy Bear Picnic this week. I look forward to seeing your creations!

May Guest Designer for Oldie But A Goodie

This card won Top 5 at Fussy and Fancy Friday!!

I was so excited to be chosen as this months Guest Designer over at Oldie But A Goodie! It is so much fun to go through some older stamps that have pushed to the back for new ones. I love pulling them out and inking them up to play! This week at Oldie But A Goodie, the challenge is Say it with Flowers! EASY PEASY!!! I love pulling out my flowers!
I decided to ink up this cutie Lili of the Valley stamp, Rosie Posy. Isnt she just adorable??!!!! LOVE her!!! I teamed her up with some flowery Prima papers from the Annalee collection. LOVE this paper pad, so pretty and springy colors. Just lovely.
I colored up this cutie with copics:
Skin - E000, E00, R20
Hair - E35, E31, YR20
Skirt - RV17, RV14, RV13, RV10, RV000

Here is the artsy view of my cad. I used some vintage lace that I had in my stash, along with some hit pink silk ribbon. The flower arrangement is all Wild Orchid Crafts flowers - White Gardenia, Hot pink 25mm roses, yellow cherry blossoms, light pink 15mm roses. Behind the roses, I bunched up some pink tulle that I recycled off of a present I received for my birthday. LOVE how it turned out. The pink butterflies were punched with my Martha Stewart Monarch punch, and I added some pearls to the butterfly centers and the corners of the card.

I hope you will pull out your older stamps and have fun with your flowers this week with us at Oldie But A Goodie.

Spring Bunny

OMG, this Lili of the Valley image is just adorable!!! I thought I was done with Easter cards, but I saw this cutie image while cleaning up my scrap space, and I just HAD TO make another Easter card. Isnt is just adorable?!!!
The pic came out a bit dark, but this card is actually super soft and pretty spring colors, sorry about that. Anywho, I used Prima Analee paper pad for this card, love that stack, the colors are just delish! They were just perfect for this springy Easter card. I cut out a tag with the Magnolia Doohickey vintage tag die and stmaped the sentiment on it, then tucked it behind the image. I also tucked a paper doily behind that which I sprayed with my Lindy's Stamp Gang Ramblin Rose Moonshadow Mist. You can just barely see it peeking behind the tag.
This image colored up SOOOO fast, gotta love that. I colored him up with copics:
Bunny - C00, C1, R20, C9, B0000
Eggs - V12, V01, V00, BG72, BG10, Y15, Y11, B02, B0000, R20
Grass - G20, G24, YG63, YG03
I added lots os stickles to the eggs and bunny paws for some added sparkle and shine! Gotta love that bling.
I added a pretty sheer light pink ribbon with roses and pearls that I had in my stash, isnt it gorgeous??!!! I sinched it up so that it stood up in places on the card, makes it very dimensional. I also added lots of Wild Orchid Flowers to the card. I used 25mm white roses which I sprayed with Denim Glimmer Mist and 15mm hot pink roses. I added Platinum stickles to the top for added shimmer and shine. I then used my Martha Stewart Frond punch to add some leaves, and my Monarch punch for the butterflies. All were stickled within an inch of their lives! LOL
