Stormy Skies

Hello Everyone!  Hope you've all had a happy Christmas - we went away and spent time with family and just had time to relax and de-stress......it was WONDERFUL!!  Just before Christmas, I had a Copic Tutorial go up on the Copic Oz Blog showing how to create this stormy sky.  In the weeks leading up to Christmas our city was hammered with storm after storm, so I thought it would be appropriate.  :)  For all the details about the Copic colours and how to create the scene click HERE.

The rest of the card is pretty simple, a base of Old Olive and layered with white, Daffodil Delight and a piece of MME Hattie DP (found DEEP in my stash).  The vertical panel is Old Olive punched with Iron Gate Border Punch and topped with more Hattie DP, then I've also added a horizontal piece of Hattie DP as well.  Down the side I've added a piece of white ribbon.  The image was cut with Large Circle Nestabilities and matted with Old Olive cut with Stately Circles Nestabilities.  To finish I've added a spiral clip with ribbon and a couple of clear Dew Drops to the corner.

Butterfly Birthday

Hello Everyone - here is yet another DTGD challenge card!!  This time it's for tiffguam's challenge!!  I even got to use some new RUBBAH!!!  :)  I don't normally make circle cards - but this was fun and I liked the way it turned out!!!  I used this week's Mojo Sketch Challenge for the layout.  Hey Edna - look NO BLUE!!!!  ROFL!!!  Although I was extremely tempted to make every card for the month with at least some blue in it, I couldn't quite do it to you!!!  LOL!!!

ALSO - I recently had Blog Candy and the winner was announced HERE.....the winner has not come forward yet.....please contact me via the email link on the left side bar so I can send your goodies out to you!!!

The base is two pieces of Very Vanilla cut with Big Scallop Circle Nestabilities then topped with pink bazzill and then two pieces of MME DSP.  Across the middle I've added some ric rac.  The three vertical panels are more pink bazzill and popped up on top, some Certainly Celery embossed with Swiss Dots.  The butterfly is from Unity's Little Reminders set that Lori gave me - isn't it CUTE!!  I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with Copics - RV10, RV13, G40, G82 - and then popped it up on foam tape.  I stamped the sentiment from JustRite's Victorian Nested Frames in Memento Tuxedo Black and then cut it into a notched tag, securing one end with a flower (from Michelle) and a Blush Pearl.
