Playing with stamps and copics

Hi Everyone, today I have 3 cards to share with you.  This past weekend I watched movies with the kids and just got lost in coloring.  I did manage to make quite a few cards and here are 3 of them.

These first 2 cards I used stamps by our artist Anna Marine.  I don't know about you but I am In Love with her artwork and so afraid to color them that I would never be able to do them justice.  Well be afraid no more as you can get lost in your coloring and realistic of her images. 

For this one I used "Claudia" and she can be bought as a single or on Sheet #4,Plate #186.

  Here is close up of this beautiful image.  I really love her face and her puffy lips,not ot mention her corn rolls or Dread Locks, nto for sure what they are.

 For my second one I used another image by Anna Marine called "Mystery" and she can be found on the same plate, plate #186.

 I used some of my favorite papers from Glitz.  I love the green and black together.

For my last card I used and image by Joanne Schempp called "Erin Irish Mermaid" and she can be purchased as a single or on Sheet #10, Plate #178.

I used a mat stack from K&Company and all the embellishments is also from K&Company except for the flowers they are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Oh and I added Perfect Pearls to the pearls in her hair.

Don't look to close on her shoulder as I let some of the purple bleed into her skin.

So next time you have a lazy day of watching TV/Movies, get out your stamps and coloring mediums and have fun.

Remember this week we have all Meredith Dillmans stamps on sale.  Go HERE to check them out.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

Just sharing!!

How is everyone doing today?  I am running behind on everything this week and feeling a bit more tired than usual.  I have been going non stop for over a month now trying to get thing done in and around our house. I feel like here lately I can't get caught up with anything and my blogging friends are the one being neglected.  I am still here just going on no energy at all.  Every time I think I am finally caught up something else comes up.  I promise I haven't forgot about you. On top of having so much to do around here my family (husband and kids) feel they are being left behind.  So I promised them this week we would spend more time together. Well enough about me.

I do have a lot to share with you just some of these cards were made forever ago.

This first one I was trying to get her done for our last  Blog Hop but I ran out of time. I finally finished her last week.  

I used Caron Vinson's "Scorpio" (Sheet #1 Plate #77) and cut her out and added some foam square for some dimension.

I used some Basic Grey DP., I love the colors in this papers.  I added some sparkle to her wings with a Sakura Clear Gel Pen.

For this one I kept it simple to showcase the beautiful image. This image is by our artist Katerina Koukiotis called "Secret Garden"  and she can be found on Sheet #3, Plate #159.

 I will add a sentiment and extra stuff when I send her out to someone.

 These last 2, I made Months and I mean months ago and just forgot to share them. 

For this one I used one the ching chou kuiks black and white art images and she can be found on sheet 14, plate #43.

For my last one I used "Diamond" from Meredith Dillman's sheet #6, Plate #137.

I wanted to make her with Mardi Gras colors.  I guess I am not afraid now to use primary colors any more.

I hope you ALL are doing great and bare with bare with me as I get things done and try my best to get caught up and back in the swing of things.

Sending ALL of you the biggest HUGS!!!
