Tilda Ready for Summer

Good morning, I am back with another Tilda to love. I don't have much time this morning, since I stayed in bed a couple of snoozes past the alarm going off. But, I wanted to get this card posted before I forgot. It is a thank you card and Tilda is just so c5ute. I was given a new goodie bag and this image was included. I understand she is from the Winter Kit, but I am not sure just what she is called, I call her Tilda with hands in her pockets. I made this card for the Just Magnolia sketch challenge.

The image was colored with Copics:
Skin: E31, E33
Hair: W3, W5 (this is the first time that I have tried black hair, the black markers are to harsh, but these seem to work ok)
Socks/apron: YR61, YR68
Underdress: RV11, RV19
Shoes: E25
I kept layering the colors and then would take a little off with the lighter color. I know this is probably not the correct way to get shading. But since I have not taken the classes, I have to do the best I can. I do like the effect though.

The paper is from Ki Memories and was bought at Tuesday Mornings. It is called Juicy Summer and I really wish that I had bought more of it. I have already used it on 3 projects and I've only had it for a little over a week. It is the perfect paper for summer. The butterfly die cut is from my prize for winning first place at Tellen's Place in their first challenge. The button flowers are from my stash and I don't have a clue where they came from, but I do wish that I had some more of them. I like the effect. Well here is my card.

I would love to know what you think of my sweet little Tilda

ANYTHING BUT A CARD

Here is my second post of the day and yes it is for a challenge. This time it is for COPIC BUZZ, and like my title says, they wanted anything but a card. The challenge is being sponsored by The Stamping Boutique.My sister has a birthday coming up and since she is the one who cooks the most, I decided to start her a cookbook. I am buying all of the paper the book and the images, but she will have to help put them together whenever we get together in the next couple of months.

I used to separate images on this page one is Tilda holding the large spoon and the other is from the Stamping Boutique it is a digital image and it is the pantry. Both images were colored with my Copics:

The pantry: E25, G03, G21, Y08
Dress/socks/scarf: G21, YG06
Apron: Y21, Y08
Big Spoon: E51, E42
Skin: E31, E33
Shoes: W1, W3
Hair: W3, W5 ( I tried something different... I wanted black but it is so harsh, that I tried W's and I like it better.) It makes a change from always having red or brown hair.

The papers are from Tuesday Morning ($2.99 a pack/ 18 sheets) It is by Ki Memories and is called Juicy Summer. I really love this paper. Some of it has a shimmer to it.The recipe card is from a pack of 20 that I got from Michaels in the $1 bin.

I love the Magnolia images that I have now. But, I can not wait until my order gets here and I will have lots of new stamps to play with. The Magnolia-licious Store is wonderful and it was so easy to shop there. I started my order and when I logged out, it kept my items in the cart until I went back and was ready to choose some other things and then place my order. The service was done in a timely manner and the order was shipped out within a few days. I have not been to the mail box this weekend  but I expect my order to be here soon. If you love Magnolia, this is the store to shop at. And you never have to leave home.

Well this it is for today. I would love to hear from you. Please leave a comment and let me know how you like my cookbook page.

Thinking of You

Happy Sunday, I am back again with another card. This time it is for Tellens Place Challenge which is a sketch challenge. Once again Terry has come up with some wonderful freebies and I have used one of them here.This card would make a great Valentine card.

The card was colored with Copics:

Skin: E31, E33
Her hair: E09, E37, E31
His hair: W5, W7
Paper/pen: E40, E41
Hearts: R27, glitter pen Lipstick
Desk: E25 well blended
Clothes: V04, V12
Background: C1
The bling is from Michaels $1 bin, the paper is leftover from other cards. The ribbon is from my stash and I actually tied the bow... Yeh!!!

I would love to hear your comments and appreciate you taking your time to leave them.

Springtime

Happy Friday everyone, it is getting late and this is the first chance I have had since leaving work to get a card posted. You should know that I was awake at 3:30 am working on this card, because I could not get back to sleep. and since I just got home a while ago and it is dark, my picture is not as bright as I would like. But, the card I love. The card is to be entered into a couple of challenges, one at the Sophisti-cat Challenge Blog, the theme was "Spring" and the second challenge is the Friday Sketcehers challenge #86. I do love a challenge. The image is by Elizabeth Bell, and it is springtime by itself. I love her images and can't wait to get some new ones.

I colored this with my Copics:
Skin: E31, E33
shirt/pants: G21, YG03
Hair: E37, E31
grass: G28
watering can: W3, W7
flowers: Y15, Y21, RV11
hat/t shirt: BV00, V12
And I used the Spica clear glitter pen on the bracelet and necklace. I cut the image out with my Nesstibilities Labels Four. The paper is all from my stash and scraps. The roses are some of whats left from what my friend gave me. The larger flowers holding the roses are Prima that I bought at Michaels a week ago for $.40 a jar. I do love a deal. I did not even know that Michaels carried Prima flowers. The glass bling is from my stash the last of the green flower and butterfly bling.

I really hope that you like this card and would love to hear what you think. All comments are greatly appreciated.

Blue and White

Good morning, it is now 4:41 am and once again I am wide awake. I don't know what is going on, but this is the second morning in a row that I have awakened to early and then have been unable to go back to sleep. So, here I am posting another card. Please overlook the quality of the picture. When it was sunny out, I was working. And my lighting inside just does not seem to work well when I really need it to.

Anyway, on to the card. As the title says it is blue and white with some red and gray thrown in. The image is from  Wags and Whiskers, when I saw it I knew that I had to have it. I did color it with my Copics. The papers are just some that I had in my stash. The navy blue paper almost looks black. The DP is from a 4x6 pad that I paid $3 for at Big Lots. I never really thought that I would get much use out of. But, now I seem to be using it quite requently. It is called the "Pocket full of Posies Matstack" I havent decided what occassion I'm going to use this card for, so I did not add any sentiment.

The card is for  2 challenges, one is at Friday Sketchers and the other is Stamp Something, the challenge is blue and white.

I love and appreciate your comments.
