Happy Birthday Ava!

Today is my Niece's birthday. I hope she likes this card I made just for her, all pink and princessy (I don't think that is even a word?) just like her. I used the soon to be released set "Fairytale Fun" from The Angel Company. Thankfully, I have nieces that are still young enough to love princesses, even if my own sweet girl is not! Although she did have me stamp her some of this image so she could color them.... hmmm, maybe the princess thing is not totally over.
I colored her with Copic markers and added the tiny gems to her crown after I cut her out with a nestabiltity oval. What do you think?

I hope that your weekend is wonderful!

Birthday Kitty

Birthday cards are what I seem to need the most, all the time. I think this soon to be released new set from The Angel Company is so very cute, it is called "Cupcake Cuties", and it works perfectly for birthday cards! There are several images in this set that are adorable, I will post more in the next few days... The sentiment is from another TAC set called "Open Presents" I colored this using Copic markers, which I am very excited to say will also be available in the new catalog!!! To keep the kitty white, I just used a light grey marker to add some shadow, then lightly blended it out with the colorless blender pen. It's an easy way to achieve some depth without coloring the whole image. This same technique could be used with colored pencils and OMS. What do you think??

"Fairy Tale Fun"

More Valentine's cards using a soon to be new set from The Angel Company, called "Fairy Tale Fun". Oh my goodness I think this is my favorite one! I just wish that I had it a few years ago before my sweet girl out grew the whole princess thing. It brings back so many sweet memories of when my baby girl lived in dress up clothes and fancy shoes. *sigh* So sweet...













I hope that you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed making them! This set will be available to order Feb. 1st, along with many more wonderful sets in the new Serendipity Catalog!!

Merriest Wishes Ornament Card

Last Sunday was my Hostess Group get together (I have one of the sweetest most wonderful group of gals anywhere!) , this is one of the projects that we created. I just love how this turned out. I had found these felt coasters in a dollar bin at Micheal's, and thought I could make some thing nifty with them. This is what I ended up with, an "Ornament Card"!! Inside the card is a spot for a gift card, and the ornament is detachable. I thought that these would be great for a quick gift item, for coworkers or teachers. I used The Angel Company set "Merriest Wishes" for this card, a great set for all winter long! I colored her with Copic Markers, and added Stickles to her wings for a little shimmer. What do you think?
