Little Miss Turtle

It's time for some spring colors, and at Practical Scrappers this week, it's time for white pens!   This is one of my favorite crafting tools...if you haven't tried it yet, you'll love it and use it for everything.

My little Miss Turtle is a digi stamp from The Stamping Boutique.   They have absolutely wonderful images at terrific prices.   Hop over!   I colored her with watercolor pencils, using several shades of each color and blending them.   I added some gems and buttons for dimension and used the white pen to highlight.  Added some flowers from Walk In My Garden, cut at 1/2" increments and layered.   I used the pen to doodle on the flowers too.  Added some ribbon and the sentiment is from Paisley.

Cardalicious #26

I have two dear friends with birthdays this week. I decided to make ladybug cards for two special ladies. At Cardalicious, the challenge this week was to use green, pink, and orange so I decided to make these the theme colors. The cute little ladybug digi-stamp is from Sweet 'n' Sassy.....colored with pencils (I mess up watercolors...........) Added a little glitter to one of them. Paper is by Anna Griffen......those polka dots are flocked.....love them. And got the whole package of paper (20 ) sheets at Big Lots for $2!!!! Used my nestabilities in the Cuttlebug.......stamped Happy Birthday on one card...........the other is hand written. The first card has cone flowers from Walk in My Garden......embellished with some tiny orange seed beeds and ink - ribbon stems.
