Saturated Canary digi Image

This image if from Saturated Canary.  This is a Krista Smith image.  I love her artwork.  The hair is what attracted me to this image.  I thought it would fun with my copic markers to enhance the curls.  

Front Pig

This card was stamped with Art Impressions unmounted Front-N-Back stamps.  This set comes with two stamps.  Front and back shot of the pig and the back is all the animals on the farm helping him look out the window.  The set has so many possibilities for birthday or friendship.  The set number is UMU1719.  I will post the back side next.  This is a cute idea.  I colored these with copic markers.  

Easter Card 2012

This is a Magnolia stamp I got last year.  Still on of my favs.  I used some 5 for a buck paper from Michaels and seam binding ribbon from Stampin Up.  Copic Markers and some prima flowers.  

Feeling Wicked

This is another swap that I made for my CTMH group, Clearly Addicted.  It is the Mischief paper pack and the felt shapes.  Love this time of year.

Funny One brush looks like it is cut in half.

I am having fun with the Friendship jar from Papertrey Ink.  I WISH I had more time to play with my crafting, but I am happy with what I get done.  I have 3 grandchildren that are a big part of my life.  They are first and crafting is there in the background.  Soon they will be helping me with all my little projects,  file:///Users/evemendes/Desktop/IMAG0727.jpg

Copics Copics Copics

This is the Friendship Jar set from Papertrey.  This design is my Michelle Wooderson.  I love the sets.  They all have many different items to place in your jar.  I am looking forward to an entire pantry of Friendship jars.  I did use some of the FY1 Fluorescent on the tips of the flower petals.  I doodles one petal on the floor.  I love to doodle at least one thing on each card.  That way I can be sure no one else has the same card.

Tag with lace and flowers

I enhanced this card with Liquid pearls from Ranger Industries.  I drew out the leaves on the ribbon.  It actually stuck a lot better than I thought it would.  I also colored in the area with Copic markers.  I used the liquid pearls in each of the flowers also.  The doodles on the paper are my test leaves.

Thank You card

I want to let you know I have not posted in a while.  On Dec. 15th my main computer went down after a totally  full hard drive crashed.  I have since been able to do a few things on it after a major clean out.  Now I am using a little netbook.  I find it limiting but still better than nother at all.  This is a Thank you card I made for a friend and requires a large envelope.  I usually make my own envelope using the Martha Stewart scor board due to the 3D nature of the front of the card. I am looking at new computers so maybe will be posting more soon.

Christmas Card Doodle number 2.

These are just for fun.  I never know where the next line is going or what markers I am going to pick up but I feel it is hard to make a mistake with art. 

Christmas Card Doodles. Love to doodle!

This is just a little tree doodle made with copics on CTMH card stock. 

A sip

This is a CTMH ( Close to my Heart ) set.  It is really simple but a nice set if you love Tea. 

Capt. Jack Page

This is a page inspired by Katie Poeticgarden.  She talked about her glue gun and it made me want to get mine out.  The poor thing has never been used and I had a fear of even turning it on.  I did not know what setting to put it on or what type of glue sticks to use.  It was just taking up space.  I love seeing her beautiful pages and she is very good, I mean great, at what she does. 

Happy Forever Card. One of my Favs

This is the CTMH Stamp of the Month for July.  Happy Forever.  These little Hedgehogs are pretty sweet.  I doodled the border.  Border, Kite and balloons are BV02, YR00 and RV95, 

Snow Men in Arizona - Warmest Wishes - NOT!

This is an 8.5 X 11. I was having so much fun with the snow because it was 110 yesterday in Arizona.  The guys are colored with copics C3, C1 and BG10.  From Suzanne's White lesson.  I used some of the wide tip markers for the background and just poured some blending solution on the paper and let it dry.  I think it gave it a cloudy effect.  I found a piece of bark outside on the floor and loved it.  So that is the fence.  I used some Glistening Snow Writer to put snow on the fence. 

Strawberries from Close To My Heart

This is a CTMH stamp that comes in a wonderful set full of fruit.  This is my homework for the green lesson, video nine.  I love the strawberries in this set. 

Wedding Card. Tilda and Edwin.

These are elements of my Copic class.  The bride and groom, are from the black and white video.  I used I used all C copics for the plus BG10.  The Bears are CTMH stamps and they were for my fur practice.  I am about halfway done with class 2 and looking forward to class 3 and 4.

Cute Pirate Tilda Plus an Eve Doodle

This is my homework from Copic Class Level 2.  I am working on coloring black.  This was just the boots, that I was coloring for class.  I used C9, 5, 3 and 1. 

Love Tag

This tag is an A2 tag from a Making Memories template.  It is larger than 4X5 and really a fun size to work with.  I cut the slit for the ribbon with the Cuttlebug die that came with ax Alphabet set.  It is a long tag die and all I did was use the very end of the die to just punch out a slit in the paper.  Once I heard the cuttlebug machine pop, I pulled the paper back out.  I punched 6 slits at a time so I would remember where to place the die so they would line up.  I ran one piece through the cuttlebug again with the leave embossing folder.  Then colored in the raised areas with Copics, E 51 for the stem and G21 and 24 for the leaves.  I used the jar of Copic white for the tips of the leaves.  The front side is one of my favorite Tilda's from Magnolia. I doodled in the floor, the brick wall and the framed in flowers.  The butterfly punch is a Martha Stewart. I use a few Spica atyou pens for the wings.  It is so much nicer than a glitter pen.  It is glass particles and the reflection is so nice on the paper.

Tilda Painting Egg with Pearl Border

This Tilda Painting Egg was my Easter project but the leaf punch from Martha Stewart was a fun element to work on. After punching out the leaves, I took an E copic marker and went all along the border of the leaf and then with my embossing tool made some veins in each leaf.  I then colored in the veins with G20, G21 and G24.

Living Lace with Ribbon Card

I saw this stamp on 123 stitch and fell in love with the lace part.  I am not the girly girl type but this stamp looked like it would be fun to try.  I used mostly E 51, and all the BVs I have.  I have some ribbon behind the cardstock and some CTMH paper behind the lace.  This is one I want to try a few times so you might see this one again in the near future.
