Fairy Happy Birthday

I spent some time in my stamping room last night and put a few cards together. Nothing earth-shattering, for sure, but it felt good to be in there and to use up some more "card parts."

I've had these two digital images all colored up and the wings glittered for quite a long time. Probably four years or more! Well, they are out of the pile and on to a couple of birthday cards, finally. They are from Tiddly Inks and are colored with Copics. I used Star Dust Stickles on the wings. The sentiment on each card is from Papertrey Ink. Just for fun, I added a couple little gems to this first card. I matted each image with black.

I have a few more posts coming up, too. Yippee for me:) I had fun!

Flutter By Wednesday #212

Time for a new challenge from the Flutter By Wednesday blog. You'll love it - this week's challenge is open. Just be sure to include your butterfly or fairy! You can find the details on the FBW blog, here.

I forgot that I was going to use a Halloween image - oops! Happy Halloween, everyone! I chose to use another Tiddlyinks digital image that I've had for a few years. I paper-pieced the flower and flower center and colored the rest with Copic markers. Of course I had to add Star Dust Stickles to her wings :) I matted with black - both layers. The bottom layer and the paper piecing are paper from a Recollections pad. The sentiment is from a Papertrey Ink set. We'd love to have you join us!

Flutter By Wednesday #209 - Kraft

Another Wednesday has rolled around - time for a new Flutter By Wednesday challenge. Today Danni has challenged us to use Kraft on our creations. I used lots! :)

The image is a digital one from Tiddly Inks, printed on Kraft cardstock. (You can find the image here.) I won it a couple years ago from Danni, so I thought it would be great to use it on a FBW challenge. I colored her with Copic markers and added Star Dust Stickles to her wings. I matted her with Real Red cardstock. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. You'll be seeing that again soon!

Thanks for those of you who joined the challenge last week. We look forward to seeing your creations again this week. You can find the details on the FBW blog.

Flutter By Wednesday - Birthday

Thank you all for fluttering with us last week at Flutter By Wednesday! Now it's time for a new challenge. This week's challenge is to make a birthday card and of course include a butterfly or fairy on your card. You can find the details and the creations by the Danni's design team on the Flutter By Wednesday blog.

For my card, I started with a digital image from Tiddlyinks that I won from Danni a few years ago. I colored her with Copics and added Stickles to her wings. I cut her with a Nestability and matted with blue, cut with another Nestability. I mounted the image panel on foam squares. The patterned paper is from a stack from Recollections and the sentiment is from Inkadinkado.

We'd love to have you join us this week!

Digital Image Birthday

This is a free digital image I got for being a member of the Tiddly Inks group on Paper Craft Planet.  I really like it!  


I colored it with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol - including adding light yellow around the edges of the image for a little "glow."  Then I cut it out with a Deckled Long Rectangle Nestability.  I left it in the die after embossing and sponged yellow ink around the edges - leaving a white frame.  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Birthday Basics set.  Both of the background papers are from Sizzix.  I embossed the yellow strip with a Cuttlebug border folder, scored lines with my Scor-Pal and then sanded them down with a sanding block.


Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

More Daisies

Another card today using a digi image from Tiddlyinks.  I actually colored this one last week (and paper pieced her dress) for the Flutter By Wednesday challenge.  However, I realized when I had it finished, that I couldn't use her for the FBW challenge, because I had colored her wings as part of a large hat!  I really think the image can be used either, way, though, so today it's her hat:)


The embossing is done with Cuttlebug folders and my Scor-Pal.  The daisies are a sticker from Martha Stewart that I picked up at Walmart when I was visiting my mom and dad on Monday.  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Birthday Basics.  The image and matting are cut with Circle Nestabilities and are mounted on Pop Dots.


Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Another Fairy Sketch Challenge Card

I made this card using the Taylored Expression's sketch challenge #105, found here. I also made it for Flutter By Wednesday's challenge, which this week is to use green - and a butterfly, angel or fairy, of course! :) You can find the challenge here. The main image is one I got free from Danni on the FBW blog. It's by Christy Croll and is available in her Esty shop, TiddlyInks.

I paper pieced her hat and dress, and then colored the rest of the image with markers. I used Star Dust Stickles for her wings. The paper is all from SU! I used two Cuttlebug folders and my Scor-Pal for the embossing. The daisy is from Martha Stewart. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Birthday Basics.

Lucky Me!!

I linked a card up to Flutter By Wednesday last week, and lo and behold - I won blog candy from Danni!  How lucky can I be?  Here is a link to the post about my winning.  Thanks so much, Danni - and Christy, too!  And here is a link to Christy's Tiddlyink Etsy shop.


This card uses one of the digi images I won.  I colored her with two of my three Copic markers and one SU! marker.  I added Star Dust Stickles to her wings.  (They were still a little wet when I took this picture.)  I cut out and embossed her with a Circle Nestability.  The matting is cut with another Nestability - called Blossom.  The colored/patterned paper is from a Stampin' Up! pad I have.  The sentiment (surprise - not!! ) is from Papertrey Ink's Birthday Basics.  The sentiment and image are mounted on Pop Dots.  I made this card using SplitCoastStampers Sketch #272.  It also qualifies for the No Time to Stamp blog's Stamp Simply challenge - to add texture to a Clean and Simple card.

Thanks so much for looking, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
