Cupid

This card uses a wonderful image from the Stampsmith. The image is coloured with waterbased markers, used as paint. The heart was cut with a cuttlebug die in my Wizard. The word phrase is done with a dymo label maker. Does Cupid have you in sight?

Some Valentine cards

I like the simplicity of this. The decorative paper pulls this all together very well. The stamped image is coloured with waterbased markers applied by paintbrush.
The images are all Oxford Impressions.




This card is coloured with both Copic markers and the airbrush and overstamped with distress inks. The hearts are made on my KNK electronic diecutter, using a file by Mary. All stamps are Oxford Impressions.




I really like this image for the haunting quality she has. The stamped image is coloured with waterbased markers, applied as paint. All stamped images are by Oxford Impressions.




This girl is so Parisian, I thought she was perfect for outside the candy shop. She is coloured with waterbased markers, used as paint. The store image is coloured with Copic markers. All stamps are Oxford Impressions.

Simply Alice

Often I find that some of the most effective cards can be some of the simpler ones to do. This classic Alice image from Oxford Impressions is stamped with Memento black ink on cardstock from the Paper Temptress and coloured with Copic Markers. The phrase is a green core black cardstock strip, run through a dymo label maker and sanded. The background layer is a scrapbooking paper. I enjoyed doing the purple caterpillar and this paper matches well and pulls it all together.

Winter cards

Due to an unforseen postal delay, I didn't receive the St. Nicholas plate of stamps from Suzanne at Oxford Impressions until after Christmas. So I decided to make winter cards, rather than holiday ones. For this card, I used gold mirror card, embossed with my Wizard using a cuttlebug folder, and coloured with Ranger alcohol inks. I think the effect looks like pierced metal. I used images from the St.Nicholas and Winter Snow plates.




The bird was stamped with Memento black on card from the Paper Temptress and coloured and airbrushed with Copic markers. I kept the card fairly simple, using layers to accent the colours in the image.



This card is stamped with Memento black, coloured and airbrushed with Copic markers. I used antique linen distress ink to overstamp the label onto the image. All stamps are Oxford Impressions.

Christmas card for gd

I don't normally do cute, it's just not my style. That said, I am having great fun doing cards for my granddaughter. Given she is under 3, cute it has to be. I also enjoy using my cutter for cards for her. This card features her favourite red guy, and no, it's not Santa. The tree is a KNK file shared on Sandy's blog here , done by Bryan and Cara. The font for the greeting is hiccups.

Angels

These angels are from Oxford Impressions, currently unavailable. I love the musical angels, they always bring to mind the phrase " Glory to God in the highest". Wishing you all a very blessed and Merry Christmas.

More Madonna Images

Continuing with the various art representations of the Madonna and child images, these cards are done with stamps from Oxford Impressions which are currently unavailable. I used alcohol inks on gold mirror cardstock which had been embossed with a cuttlebug folder for the Madonna and children image. The Silent Night word stamp from Wordsworth on the first card is embossed with gold detail embossing powder. All other background stamps are Oxford Impressions.

Also, please check out Suzanne's blog, or the Oxford Impressions site. She is having a Christmas card contest with many stamps to be won.
