Patriotic Patty
Since the 4th of July is just around the corner, I thought I would whip up a quick red, white and blue card to share with you! I used the new Sweet November Patty digi from All That Scraps, and colored her up with my Copics. I stamped the stars from Lawn Fawn's Teeny Tiny Backdrops set with Stazon White Ink onto red cardstock. I'm a little disappointed with the photo, because the colors would not come out right... the red cardstock actually matches the colored image perfectly in real life! I hate when that happens!
Supplies: Patty digi; Lawn Fawn Teeny Tiny Backdrops; Hammermill White CS; Bazzill Island Breeze CS; TAC Scarlet CS;
Stazon White Ink; Tim Holtz Designs Ruler; Paper Piercer; Recollections Extra Fine Glitter (snow); Copics
Copics Used:
Red Stripes - R59, R29, R24, R22
White Stripes - C3, C1, C0
Shorts, Shoes - B06, B04, B02, B01
Hair - YR24, YR23, YR21, YR20
Skin - E21, E00, E000, R30
Outline - B000
I am also entering this card into a few challenges:
Love's Rubberstamps - Red, White and Blue
Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge - Stars and Stripes
Your Next Stamp Challenge - a Sketch
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I would love to know what you think!
F is For...
...FAIRWEE!
The current challenge at Wicked Wednesday is to make an ATC that incorporates something starting with the letter "F". So of course, I had to use one of my favorites, my Fairwee Piper digi from All That Scraps! I just don't get tired of coloring up this cutie!
Supplies: Fairwee Piper Digi; Neenah White CS; Bo Bunny Passion Fruit Dot;
Petite Oval Nestabilities; Recollections Extra Fine Glitter (snow); Copics
Copics Used:
Skin - E21, E00, E000, R30
Hair - E37, E35, E33, E31
Dress, Shoes - R85, R83, R81
Wings - BG0000
I am also entering this into the All That Scraps Challenge - it's all about embossing! I used my Spellbinders Petite Ovals to cut out and emboss around the image... hopefully that is enough embossing to qualify for the challenge! :)
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I would love to know what you think!
Cardabilities Sketch #58
Today is my final sketch reveal as part of the Cardabilities Design Team. Karan will be taking a break from hosting the sketch challenges for the summer, but keep an eye out for her return in September! I have loved being a part of this team... Karan's sketches are so unique and inspiring, and this one is no exception!

I took a clean and simple approach to this tag sketch using the Lucky Bunnies set by The Greeting Farm... and I didn't even touch my Copics for this one! Just a whole bunch of paper-piecing!
Supplies: TGF Lucky Bunnies; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Bazzill Ocean Breeze CS;
Hammermill White CS; DCWV Citrus Matstack; White and Black Thread; Pop Dots;
Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass Ink; Paper Piercer; 1/8" White Ribbon
