Copic Creataions - Feather Blending

I deleted my first post when I realized I did the feather blending all wrong. I used two colors that were too similar in the spectrum to show any feathering. So I re-did the apron using RVOOO & B00 this time. Not as I had invisioned it, and still not sure if it's right, but I gave it a try.. I will not give up and will try it again because it is beautiful once you get the hang of it. You can check it out
here there are some extremely talented ladies and some gorgeous creations. Maybe the third time will be a charm for me.

Penny Black #87 - Pins & Pearls

I was asked to make 3 bridal shower cards and this is the 2nd one that I did, I used my Sentimentals Cricut Cartridge to cut the frame at 5 1/4". I cut the frame 2x and then popped it up on dimentionals to give it some depth. I then used the shadow feature of the frame for the background of the frame (next time I know to use the blackout feature, hey you live and you learn).. The image is All White from Penny black one of my favorite images, and so easy to color... The card is a pre-embossed card from DCWV.

Paper: Basic Black, Paper Trey White, Sparkle Paper?

Sketch Saturday

A quick post this morning so that I can upload this before the deadline. Although I finished this card on Monday, my busy schedule didn't allow me to upload it sooner. This was done for someone at work who needs 3 Bridal Shower cards, one for herself and 2 for the brides mother. This is for my friend at work. For hers I used these colors since the blue is close to what the bridal party is wearing. The other 2 cards are more traditional using white, black & greys and I will try and upload those tomorrow.

Baby Shower

A very quick Post this morning, as I have to drive to White Plains for my nieces Baby Shower. Yes, ladies I am going to be a Great Aunt. Oh wait I already am a "Great Aunt"...lol....These are the Pillow Boxes that I made for her, there are 80 in total. I used the Stampin Up Pillow Box Die Cut from Sizzix, Pretty in Pink Paper for the Pillow Box, and the new Sending Love Specialty Paper for the band along with ribbon, and the So Many Scallops stamp set also from Stampin Up. 9 steps in all...Thank Goodness for my girlfriends and the assembly line we created. What would have taken me a week to do by myself, only took a matter of hours. The red bands are the same color as the stroller that she wanted and I purchased for her, so the colors of the Designer Paper were perfect for this project. The bows on the side of the basket were made using the Bowdabra..OMG!!!! one of the best investments I ever made, especially since I used a Michael's coupon....I now want to make bows and put it on everything...

The card is also an old Stampin Up set that was colored with copics. Here is another view of the basket...

I also crocheted a baby blanket for her, which I made smaller than most instructions call for, I did this size because it is perfect for the car,carriage or stroller. The ones in the books are huge and to me not practical for a baby blanket. I used the shell stich for this design. I didn't want to use the traditional pink and white, and figured these colors would be perfect if the baby spit up, since it wouldn't show. It is a little longer than the picture shows, and also folded in half so is twice the width as what you see...


Thanks for looking... and Happy Sunday everyone.
Hugs

Sweet Kitty

I know I've been AWOL again, but the last 2 weekends have been really crazy,and lately the weekends are the only time I get to make cards. First I had to rush Mom to the ER for a nose bleed that we couldn't stop..(she's on blood thinners she's 78, Dad is 86 and was scared to say the least, but Thank the Lord they live down stairs from me) anyway, she's OK now, and then last Friday, my son came home with a pain in his chest. Thought he pulled a muscle since he complained when he came home from a basketball game. Said it hurt by his peck and couldn't take a deep breath. So the next day he goes to practice (which is on Saturday..has to go into Manhattan since his school is in Manhattan) and comes home white as a ghost and again says it hurts when he takes a deep breath. Rush him to the Dr. listens to his chest doesn't hear anything, touches him by his peck he winces in pain and says the same thing as me. but wants me to check in with her on Monday. Well to make a long story short, turns out he has an phenomonia. Poor kid. So needless to say the 3 day weekend turned into a nightmare, but I am glad I was home to rush to around. He feels better now, but has to take it easy, still hurts when he breaths, but not as much.. and knows he's benched for a few more games and also cannot sing in Choir. He is the only 16 year old that I know that was upset about missing 3 days of school and begged to go back on Friday. Monday starts finals, and he also has his English Regents. The Moral of this story is that I will never utter the words "I want to have a nice relaxing weekend" ever again... I hope typing it doesn't count..lol


I started this card about 2 weeks ago, and finally finished it...Bout time right considering I had so much time on my hands...lol
