SS10 Valentine's Day Card

 Well, Valentine's Day has come and gone, but I have this card I made and thought I would just post it for this challenge at Stampin' Sisterhood at Rubbernecker Stamps. This is a digital image, of which I cannot recall where it came, so my apologize to the artist. I colored this with my watercolor pencils, which I sometimes use for a change of pace from my markers. Hope you all had a wonderful day with your loved ones!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by my little blog.

Vintage Helping Hand

I had this cute digital image and thought it would make a lovely card. The image came from CreatewithTLC, called vintagehelpinghand., thanks to Paulette. My papers are from a stack that was gifted to me, so I don't know the source. I love working with watercolor pencils, so this was a fun image to color.

Supplies used Spellbinders Standard Circle Large and Classic Scalloped Circles Small, Faber-Castell Watercolor Pencils, digital image from CreatewithTLC

Thanks for looking. Have a great day.

Father's Day Card

Well, it has been some time since I last posted, but I have been blogging and learning so much from all the sites that I read. So, finally, here is a card I made for Father's Day. I am going to enter this in a few challenges this week. It seems that I make a card that inspires me and then I go find the challenge that it will be accepted. I know, a bit backwards, but I seem to only make cards I really need.
My car image is from Yolanda, a digital, http://yolanda-imaginemakeshare.blogspot.com/2011/02/midweek-throwdown-free-digi.html  You can go here to get this antique car.
My papers are a gift ( and a very generous gift) from one of the blog sites that I always read and they came to me in a bundle, so I have no designer name to share with you.
My cardstock and ink is Barn Red from Close to My Heart.
I used watercolor pencils for my image. Faber-Castell #156 teal, Eberhard Faber #849 black, #81 grey
I also used Copic E00, E21, E25.

Baby Toby baby card

I found a beautiful sleeping baby by  Eiglas at http://eiglas.blogspot.com/2011/02/eiglas-super-challenge-1-baby-birth.html . She calls this digi Baby Toby. I couldn't resist the challenge to make a card using this image. I colored the image with watercolor pencils.  Most of my papers are from CTMH, (seafoam, indian corn blue and buttercup) I used a SU punch for my flower and added a bit of the yellow ribbon for the center. The 'welcome little one' is a CTMH stamp. Thanks for looking

Super Bowl "Go Steelers" Card

Wow, where has time gone? I started to make this card Friday because I saw a digital challenge, but I am just now getting it posted. I made full turkey dinner for super bowl Sunday and just some brownies, shaped as footballs and jerseys for dessert. But, we did cheer on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Lot of good it did. NOT. Ok, next year. So, here is my card. Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Be My Valentine

I found this digital image, I apologize for not giving credit to the artist, but I can't find where I got it from. I will do some research and give proper credit. If anyone reading this can help me, I would appreciate the information. I now have learned that when I download an image, that I can save the artists' name so that I can give credit. The coloring was done with watercolor pencils. The papers are from Paper Pizazz. I made this card to send to my mother. Thanks for looking. Have a great day.
