Happy Sunday

Hola, Friends.

How are you?

Yesterday I went to the Copic: Dressed for Success workshop. So much fun and I learned a lot, too.
Class was taught by Debbie Olson. She taught the Hair and faces workshop I went to last year.

I don't have images from the class but I do have some cards.
This card design is a good way to use up all of those cardstock strips.
The image was heat embossed with white embossing powder.

 

 

 

 When I find a card design that I really like I make several. In this case I think it was six.
 I used one (unfortunately) with a "thinking of you" for a sympathy card.

A birthday card for my friend, Karen. A Penny Black image colored with Prisma colour pencils.

That's it for me today.
Talk to you soon.

Rainy Saturday

HOLA, ALL.

It's been raining all day here. I'm not complaining, just saying;) I went to the movies to see "Learning To Drive"  I love Ben Kingsley and have followed Patricia Clarkson for many years. Good movie.

I have a couple of cards to share.

Another tri-fold card.
I really like the color combo for baby. I used Pan Pastels for stencil background. The circle die cut is from a sheet I distressed some time ago. There is a lot more yellow irl.

Lawn Fawn "love Your Selfie stamp set. colored with Copics.

Those of you who have followed me know how much I love visiting other blogs, watching tutorials and "casing" but I think I'm going to stop for awhile to see if I can come up/create cards on my own.
Do you take breaks from "trolling"? Leave a comment...I'd really like to know.

Hi, All.

Hope your week is going well.

I have a card "lift" from Karolyn Loncon on the Ellen Hutson Youtube channel. It's a tri-fold card using the Altenew Vintage Rose stamp set and die. Karolyn's card used The Ellen Hutson Essentials Large Blossom stamp set which I love but don't own:(

It was a very fun card to make.

I'll have some more paper doll tags soon.

Good night.
Talk to you soon.

Paper dolls continued

Hi All.

I spent yesterday evening coloring with Copics, and Prismacolours and Crayola twistable pencils.

Her name is Summer by Julie Dougherty for Prima. I stamped her on  some Trader Joes ad paper.
The paper soaked up lots of Copic marker but blending was not all bad?
I also used some Prisma- colour pencils.
I got the brilliant idea of framing her. I'll take her to work for display.

 

This cute guy is from the My Favorite Things "You Gnome Me" stamp set.
I colored him with Copics some time ago. I had the base card from a shaker that just didn't stay together, work for me.
I am quite happy with the re-working. I used seed beads for the shaker material.

I am starving! Think I'll have lunch at Mariano's.
Talk to you later

More paper dolls

Hi, all.
It's back to work tomorrow. Dr. didn't find anything. Blood pressure ok, no rails or rattles.
I'll do blood work tomorrow. Maybe that will tell the story?

I have a couple more paper dolls.

Most of the dolls have names but...

I love the leopard boots on this 60's mod girl.

That's all I have for you. Thanks for stopping by.
