This is the photo that is being used for inspiration.



This is what I created:

For this card I started by inking up a piece of cardstock with Distress Inks. I used Squeezed Lemonade, Spun Sugar, Shaded Lilac, Aged Mahogany, and Peacock Feathers. Once I had it shaded just so, I used CDD Fancy Frame Dies to cut out my background. I stamped a few hearts from Wildly Cute mini stamp and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder.


I stamped the cute little mouse from CDD Sweet Kisses stamps and colored her with Copic Markers. The image was cut using a die from the Pocket Pieces Hi Dies set. My sentiments are from the Sweet Kisses stamp set. Again, I heat embossed the Sweet sentiment in gold embossing ink. I finished the card off with some gold thread.
I hope you will join in the fun and link up your photo inspiration project!

Magical Birthday Wishes ~ with Craftin Desert Divas

Hi There!

It's my day to post on the Craftin Desert Divas Blog. This is what I am sharing.

Today I wanted to share a little inspiration using the new CDD Magical Wishes stamp set.


The images on this set are just adorable and I couldn't wait to ink up this fairy so I could color her!

I chose my colors based off of this Doodle Bug Designs paper pack called Polar Pals. I loved the color combo! Unfortunately, it is no longer available in the CDD shop but you can find many other Doodle Bug Designs paper packs HERE.

I used CDD Fancy Frame Dies for the base of my card. I stamped my image on some Copic friendly paper and cut out my shape with the CDD Fancy Stitched Labels Dies.

Here is a little close up of this adorable fairy.


As I mentioned I colored her with Copic markers. It's hard to see but I added some Clear Wink of Stella to her wings for added sparkle, as well as, some white gel pen accents here and there.



I added some flowers from CDD Busy Bees Stamps, color them with Copic Markers, added some Wink of Stella to the centers. I finished the card off with some ribbon and some Doodle Bug Designs Sprinkles.

I hope you enjoyed my card today!

Remember there is Free Shipping on orders of $10 or more in the CDD Shop until 3/16!!

Here are the products I used to create my card:

Here is what I created..


For my Lots of Layers I created a shaker card featuring The new CDD Magical Wishes Stamp set.

I used my CDD Fancy Frame Dies to cutout my layers and inked it all with Distress Inks in Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, and Spun Sugar.

Before inking the background I heat embossed the swirly stars with some sparkle embossing powder.


I colored my unicorn with my Zig Clean Color Brush Markers in some bright pinks and purples and stamped my sentiment on a circle I cut using the CDD Stitched in Circles Dies.  My shaker is filled with CDD Pizzazz and Fairy Dust Sequins and I threw in a little glitter for more sparkle.

My outside frame is also glittered up!


I hope you will join in the fun and link up your Lots of Layers project!

Craftin Desert Divas March Release Blog Hop Day 2

Welcome to the CDD March Stamp Release Blog Hop. 
All stamps are in the CDD Shop and now available for purchase HERE.


       










Here's what I've created for you...


My first card was created using the new Farm Living stamps. I took kraft colored cardstock to create myt base and splattered it with Mr. Huey's Opaque White Color Mist. I used the Stitched In Circles  Die for my scallop circle. On top of that I added a frame that was created with the Mix It Up Dies. I added a tag from that same dies set.


I added my little pig from the new Farm Living set. I colored him with Copic markers. Doesn't he look sad? Lastly I added a sentiment from the same set. It was stamped on the speech bubble from the Mix It Up dies. A few Doodle Bugs Sprinkles and a little Baker's twine and it was finished!


My next card featured the cute little leopard from the new Spots mini stamp. I cute a red card base and layered a watercolored panel on top that was cut using the Fancy Frame Dies. I added a cloud from The Sky is the Limit Dies and that I embossed with an embossing folder. My leopard is holding a balloon from CDD Party Dies. It was ink with Candied Apple Distress Ink.


I colored this cute little leopard with Copic Markers, I stamped my sentiment and added some Fairy Dust Sequins. I love this simple card!
