I guess I'm in a Spring mood. The weather today, in northeast Georgia, is to be in the 80 degree range. I guess you would call it an early summer. Now, I just have to wait and see what it will be tomorrow.


Today's card is for all of you great members who are trying to shake off a winter virus. I hope you feel better soon and this card will brighten your day.


"Get Well Soon"


The image used today is from "Just-Rite Stamps". I love their stamps, they are so diverse, and I use the alot as you have noticed.

The mats where cut with Spellbinder dies in three different sizes. They were;

  • Petite Oval Large S4-138
  • Petite Scalloped Oval Large S4-139

The image was colored with Copic Markers;

  • Roses; R22,R24,R27,R29
  • Leaves; YG05,YG09

The Roses were coated with Crystal Lacquer, that where you get the little glare from. I decorated the background paper with a little red Stickles for bling.

Believe it or not I did tie the small yellow bow on the bouquet. But, I cheated and used the "Bow Easy"

Hope you enjoy the card and will leave a comment.

Have a GREAT DAY!!!

"Happy Harvest"

Well, according to the calendar it's fall. We have not seen much of a change in the temperature, but if the calendar says it's fall, IT'S FALL.

The card I am presenting today, is a stamp set from "The Angel Company" called "Hedgehog Happiness". The stamped image is actually made up of three of the eleven images included in the set. The set includes to make cards for a number of holidays, including Valentines Day, Christmas, Easter, and Spring. Great set, and very flexible set.

I have made the card as a Fall or Halloween card;


"Happy Harvest"




First I stamp the hedgehog with the wagon, then the pumpkins in the wagon. I cut a mask to cover the wagon and pumpkins and stamped the trees. The image was stamped on Cryogen paper, my favorite, and colored with Copic markers. The colors I used were;

  • Hedgehog; E11,E13,C0,C3
  • Wagon; B01,B02,B04
  • Pumpkin; YR02, YR07
  • Trees; YG09,YG07YG67

After the image was colored I added "Crystal Glaze" to the pumpkins. You can see this in the picture. A little silver glitter pen was added to the hub caps on the wagon and on the tree. I used a Copic multiliner black poen to add the spikes to the fur of the hedgehog. The copper glitter dot are from "Jesse James"

It's a bright cheerful card and I hope you enjoy it.

Your comments are always welcome and appreciated.

Have a GREAT DAY!!!

"Joy, Found"

Well, with renovations on a brief hold until my wife decides what she wants done next, I am back to my first love, CARD MAKING.

The card I have choosen today is a card that I made for a card swap. I made about four cards, but could only enter one. This image is from a stamp set from "The Angel Company" called "Joy, Found". It's a very cute image and reminds me of my child hood. My mother would have fits when I would bring them home. Happy moments.

This is the finished card;


"Joy, Found"


The image was colored with Copic Markers, mainly in the blue and green range. I used the following colors;

Skin; E000,E01, R20
Shirt; Y13,YG09
Pants: B00,B01,B04
Frogs; YG21,YG07,YG05
Water; BG01,BG05,BG07

A lot of blending was required on the water, but it all came together. The image was stamped on my favorite paper, Cryogen Iridescent White. I love this paper for it sparkle that it has. A few Green Stickles was added for more sparkle.

Hope you enjoy my efforts and your comments are always welcome.

Have a GREAT DAY!!!

TK Guardian Castle (Derwent Inktense Version)

This is the third version of the Thomas Kinkade, "Guardian Castle". The version was colored with "Derwent Inktense Pencils" and cost about $24.79 for a set of 24.

A little about the Inktense pencils. Inktense pencils can be used dry for rich, intense color or washed out with a little water to create a vivid translucent effect. Once dry, the color is permanent and can be worked over with other media. Although I only had a set of 12, I was able to produce pretty good shading. I use an Aqua Brush to blend out the colors. Because the inks are permenant one they are dry, you are able to build up some pretty nice shading. Make sure that you let the colors dry between layers.
So let's have a look at the card;

"TK Guardian Castle (Inktense Version)"

Although the difference between the three versions is slight there is a distinct difference. It show on very important fact. That no matter what coloring medium you use, you can get beautiful results. So don't be afraid to try different coloring mediums. Try them you may have found your nitch.
So far the opinion of which medium you like best between Copic and Prismacolor Pencil, is 50/50. Let's see how the Inktense version changes the mix.
Hope you enjoy my efforts. Let me know by your comments how the versions compare, and your preference.

Have a GREAT DAY!!!

Coloring a Snowman

I've had a few questions about coloring white images, particularly, Snowmen. The snowman image needs to be white, so I'm not really coloring it, I'm just adding shadows to give it shape.

For a snowman I would use cool colors, such as the BG series or the C series for the shadowing. For this image of the snowman I used BG10 and BG0000.

Now let's watch the video;

Coloring a Snowman

The image I use today Is called "Snow Day" from "The Stamping Studio" it's a very cute snowman. I finished it off by putting "Prisma-Glitter using a Zig Glue pen on the shadowed areas that I just colored in. It gives it a real nice affect.

Remember always do all of you blending before adding any glitter to your image.

That' all for today folks!!

Have a GREAT DAY!!!
