Circus Ringmaster Owen

I finally got the chance to make an unusual shaped card.  It's a large Sizzix
die.  I layered the yellow paper on top of white cardstock that I folded in half. 
I added 3 layers to the base and some flowers.  Fussy cut out Owen.  
Added some stitching with my white and glittery gel pens.  I also
managed to add a lion button behind the flowers. If you would like to 
have Circus Ringmaster Owen, you can find him here.

This Is My Happy Place

Hello everyone! I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas! So one of the great things about the day after Christmas is there are some great shopping deals to be found! I created a card with Shopping Girl Ellie
I'm not much of a in store shopper but I LOVE to shop online! I Copic colored Ellie and fussy cut her. The sentiment and the patterned paper are from a Craft Smith paper pad I got at Michaels called Blackberry Lemon. I fussy cut the sentiment from one of the papers in the stack. All the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Christmas Carollers

I am so ready for Christmas day to arrive.  Christmas is one of our favorite
holidays to celebrate.  I usually start decorating the day after Thanksgiving but this year
the decorations came out early.
I love to add black to my Christmas cards for some reason.  This paper is by 
Graphic 45 and after coloring this sweet couple with my copics, they were
a perfect match.  I love the lamp post and the added holly die cuts.  The
background of the stamped image is shaded with blue chalk.
I guess you can say that I love layering on my cards.  Not the best
for mailing but love the added dimension.  You could even separate the
image and use the girl and boy individually.  I hope that you like
my take on this stamp.  You can purchase it here!

Pop Star Ellie

Thought I would make a card using Pop Star Ellie.  I wanted to try
to do a two toned hair color and of course, pink made its way into the card.
The animal print paper was screaming to be used when I saw the print on the 
shirt and leggings.  
I so enjoy coloring pleats and folds to try and get depth into the image.
I think I succeeded.  I made a flower from the Melissa Frances zipper trim I bought
at the Ontario Expo and used the resin stars of hers that were included in my 
Design Team package.   
I hope I inspired you to create a card of your own.  Why not try coloring two
toned hair too!  It was fun!  You can find Pop Star Ellie here!  Come on!
Sing your song!!!!
