My Daughter's Monster High Card

I don't have anything new to share that I have made, but I wanted to show off the card my 11 year old daughter made. She and her friends are completely obsessed with Monster High dolls and when the new Simply Betty Valentine Emo stamps came out she thought it would be easy to make them into the Monster High characters. She drew ears on Betty and turned her into Clawdeen Wolf, and colored Miller blue with flame hair to make him look like Holt Hyde. I am so proud!!

Lets Build A Snowman!

Hello! Our challenge this week at The All That Scraps Challenge Blog is to use Snowmen (or a snowman!) in your creation! I absolutely loved this Lil Lolita Lad when he came out at Christmas but time somehow got away from me before I got a chance to use him. I thought this was the perfect reason to get him back out, and now I can use this as a "Hello" card (it is definitely still winter here!) or save it for next year's Christmas cards!

I cut the snowmen from some patterned paper from My Minds Eye. I thought they would make nice friends for the snowman in Frankie's arms.

A Couple of Pretty Fairies

Hi! I have made some cards today with images from ching chou kuik's Sheet 25, Plate 70 from Sweet Pea Stamps. Her artwork is so much fun to color!

This first card uses the image Fairies Little Companion. This was an image I could not wait to get - I fell in love with books like The Dragonlance Chronicles and The Dragonriders of Pern series when I married my husband (he introduced me to the Fantasy book genre!) and this makes me think of those times!

The Details:
Stamp: Fairies Little Companion - ching chou kuik (Plate 70) from Sweet Pea Stamps
Paper: My Minds Eye, Simply Chartreuse (Papertrey Ink), Not Quite Navy, Soft Sky (Stampin Up), white for image (Copic XPress)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Walnut Stain Distress Ink
Copics:
Skin: E000,E00,E11,E13,R00,R20
Hair and Dragon: YG00,YG03 (both w/RV10 over) YG95,YG97
Clothes and Wings: BG10,BG11,BG72,BG75,BG78
Misc: Cricut (Cartridge Cindy Loo), Spellbinders Nestabilities, Darice Gems, Stardust Stickles

For the second card I used the image Peachy Pink Fairy. This has nothing to do with how I colored her or made the card, but don't you think in the drawing she looks like Christina Applegate? I kept thinking that as I colored her!! The frame is cut out using my Cricut on Grungeboard. That was my first time using Grungeboard and it felt like thick leather to me. I liked it! I painted it with Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam afterward so it is sparkly black.


The Details:
Stamp:Peachy Pink Fairy - ching chou kuik (Plate 70) from Sweet Pea Stamps
Paper: Fancy Pants Designs, Black (Papertrey Ink),, white for image (Copic XPress)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Do You Have the Winter Sniffles?

Hello! It is challenge time again at the All That Scraps Challenge Blog and this week we want to see Tissue Covers!! (if you haven't made one before, there is a tutorial HERE on Splitcoaststampers). I tend to make "just cards" but I made several of these during the Holidays as gifts. This one is for my daughter who loves light purple and "flying unicorns" as she calls them!



To make my "flying unicorn" I cut the wings off of the new Sweet November Pegasus Breezy and glued them to Meadow's back. I think she looks really cute with wings! The papers are from an old DCWV paper pack that I am hoarding! The top background piece is a piece of dark purple cardstock that has been embossed with a Cuttlebug folder that I first painted with Coffee Bean Glimmer Glam. It has a sort of bronze-y sheen to it. The label piece at the opening of the tissue box is covered with Platinum Stickles. I really like that color when I am going for metallic because it is sort of gold and silver at the same time. The flowers were die cut out of Tim Holtz Grunge paper (thinner than the Grungeboard, but with the same feel. I think it kind of feels like leather) and painted with Twinkling H2O watercolors.

The Details:
Stamps: Breezy and Meadow (Sweet November) from All That Scraps
Paper: DCWV, Elegant Eggplant (SU), Lavender Lace (Retired SU) White for image (Copic XPress)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Copics: BV000, BV01,BV02
Misc: Cuttlkebug Embossing Folder, Tattered Angels Coffee Bean Glimmer Glam, Platinum Stickles, Sizzix Leaf die, Flower die (PTI), Twinkling H2O watercolors, Brads with gems?

I hope you will get a chance to play with us this week! There is always a prize up for grabs - all you need to do to be eligible to win is to use one of the MANY stamps available at All That Scraps and link your creation to the ATS Challenge Blog by next Tuesday at 10 PM EST!

Rock On Tiny Purple Creature!

Hi! I have made a card today with an image by Linda Biggs, who is one of the new artists that Sweet Pea Stamps now carries. This image does not come individually, but does have some fun sentiments on the sheet!!


I wanted to make this one a little more Clean and Simple than I usually do, with a lot of white space. If you have seen the original colored image then you know I messed up and interpreted part of her body as part of the flower (the green I colored as leaves!) but I think it looks fine if you don't know how the artist originally intended it!

Stamp: Linda Biggs Plate 83 (Sweet Pea Stamps)
Paper: Whisper White, Orchid Opulence, Basic Black (all Stampin Up), White for image (Copic XPress)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Copics:
Skin: V01,V04,V05
Clothes: YG00,YG21,YG23,RV04,RV06
Flower: V000,V01,YG21,YG23
Misc: Sakura Clear Stardust Pen, Ribbon (Offray), Cuttlebug Embossing Folder (Coolio), Nestabilities Rectangles Dies
