A quick post

I've caught Jim's cold - so I'll be quick..

Just a little card I made a few weeks ago and didn't share....

I love coloring those big Whipper Snapper images with my Copics markers. This little girl is adorable....

I used some old KI papers for the background and the card base. The ribbon is from my stash and the buttons from the Dollar store.

There is a bit of bling around the little girl....

Here is the card:

Hero Arts Weekly Challenge

Yeah I'm not at the last minute for the Hero Arts Blog Weekly Challenge. This week the challenge was to do a Valentine's Day card. In my stamp collection, I have an old Hero Arts stamp of a big filigree heart. It is dated 2000, but it is still beautiful.

I used the Basic Grey 6x6 valentine papers. I stamped the heart (Hero Arts L1896 Filigree Heartprint) with burgundy chalk ink. I then quickly brushed some Perfect Pearl powder over the top right corner to give it a little shimmer. The brown cardstock is Stampin'up Choco chip and the card base is from my stash.

A burgundy shimmer ribbon from my stash and some bling (Hero Arts mini crystals) in the 4 corners were added to decorate. Oh and 3 little hearts (Cloud 9 Designs) to the left bottom of the heart. The base of the heart was cut with a Nestabilitie die. The heart itself was trimmed with scissors.

Here is the card:

Another cute WhipperSnapper image

I have fallen in love with all those Whipper Snapper Images! (Still have a few not used yet....)

I just love this big bear and little penguin. I colored the image with Copics markers. It is funny, my shading looked nice on the card, but with the photo the lines seem to be more visible.....

The paper (snowflakes) is by Pinecone Press. The felt snowflake is Stampin'Up. The gelly embellishment on top is by Yellow Bicycle. The ribbon and cardstocks are from my stash (unknown). It doesn't show very much on the photo, but I put little tiny crystals all around the bear and on the snowflake. They're Hero Arts.

Voilà, on voit mieux les crystaux sur cette photo (mais les couleurs sont trop brillantes... :) )


The image was cut with the Nestabilities Label dies.

I used a new Hero Arts stamp. The patterned paper (stripes) is, if I remember correctly by My Mind eyes.
The ink is Paper Trey Ink new pink color, as well as the ribbon.
The bling and greeting (Thanks) are by Hero Arts.

I dried-brush the inside wedge of the pocket with the Papertrey Pink ink. I cut the edge with my Stampin'up scallop edge punch.

A card I made during the Holidays - didn't do much more - my supplies were put away!

It is one of the many new WhipperSnapper stamps I bought before Christmas. I colored it with Copic markers.  I cut the image and the dark blue border (Prism blue shimmer CS) with my square Nestabilities.  I also embossed the edges.  The patterned paper is by Magenta and the gold embellishments are Peel-offs by Magenta.

Thanks for visiting my blog!  I will try to come by more often in the New Year!

Merci de visiter mon blog - je vais essayer d'être plus présente cette année!
