Better Late Than Never :)

Ok, I know it is sooooo late in the day, lol! But This is the card I made for Madelynn’s Twinkling Tuesday Sketch #8 and I just had to get it posted on the right day! I adore this Little Red Rding Hood digistamp from The Greeting Farm. She is too cute all decked out in pink! My card base is Cameo Coral, and I used a Copic Marker (R22) to match her outfit to it.  I also used a layer of Creamy Caramel and to make her really stand out a layer of Confetti White. And you really can’t tell, but that layer was cuttlebugged with the distressed stripes folder. I guess it is the light in my craft room.

I also used Liquid Pearls in White Opal to place little kisses along the top and bottom, in between the stripes. I added a few to her cloak, and between the sentiments I used as wel. They are from the Panda Friends set over at The Greeting Farm. My ribbon is from the $1 spot at Mike’s — they have the best ribbon in those bins, I swear! Thanks to Madelynn again for another great sketch! Be sure to check out the brand new Madelynn’s Twinkling Tuesday blog, and check out her mom’s blog, The Whimsical Butterfly – she has blog candy!

CASE-ing Michelle

Today’s Jacksonbelle challenge was a tall order – case a card by Michelle! Holy toads! Have you SEEN how awesome her work is???? That girlie is an amazing artist, and it took me a week to figure out what to do. So long, in fact, that I actually had to whip up something last minute, lol. So, here is my humble try at being as fantabulous as Michelle is! My card is 4.25″ square. I did this because I am planning to leave little notes for DH all over the place for Valentine’s Day (I jut spoiled the surprise – he reads this, lol) and I wanted to make a few smaller cards to tuck away places. I used Prima dp – it’s called “Together” and it is from the Romantica collection. I got it forever ago at Jacksonbelle’s – she keeps the coolest collections of paper in stock! I used my curvy labels one nesties for the large square, and my circle nesties for the other layers.

My stamps are from the newly released Lizzie Anne Designs set called So Much Love. I adore this heart!!! I colored it with copic Markers, and on the red hearts I added some Royal Red Shimmerz for a bit of added wowza. Sadly, I have no bear – but tht’s ok!I added a few extra Dew Drops to my card, and more dots along the nesties’ borders with a black marker. I don’t know that I did Michelle’s gorgeous card (shown to the left, image courtesy of her blog) the proper justice, but I do think mine is cute! I like that it turned out masculine enough for my DH. Although, it is still girlie enough for me!
