Believe in Yourself

 Good afternoon! We had a great holiday weekend, summer is here and we are done with school - So life is good!

Stamper's Delights have an amazing new release over the next few days, my first post for this is using Anime Believe in Yourself: 

Isn't she just the sweetest!

I arranged the circles around and her, printed the image and colored her with my alcohol markers. The sentiment is included with the image and was printed and colored with markers to coordinate with the her.

I matted an A2 card base with blue card and added my image, my sentiment was matted with the same blue card and added to my card with foam tape.

A simple made card is all you need when the image is so cute!

If you love her you can buy her either in digi-stamp version or as one of the fab new clear stamps Stamper's Delights now have available:

Flower Girl

Good afternoon, Oh I wish winter was done now, I'm over the snow and ice and frigid temperatures.

Today's post is all about Stamper's Delights Thrifty Thursday! Yes head on over to the store and see what amazing stamps are at reduced price. While there check out the one I have used a great mother's day set: Anime Just for You Mum.

As Mother's Day isn't for a few months here in US I decided to make her in to a friend card.

What I Did:

I resized and printed the stamp with out the sentiment (yes you get both plus a separate sentiment) on to stamping paper. She was colored her with alcohol markers with some pencil to add detail.

I then matted a white card base with teal cardstock. An oval die cut aperture was made with a piece of yellow card and this was then lightly inked through a stencil to give a shadow pattern.

A adhered my image into the aperture and positioned this on my card base. The flowers were shaped into a spray and placed around the bottom edge of the aperture. I die cut and colored some leaves to add a more realistic look to the flower spray.

The sentiment is a rub-on which balanced the card for me

What I Used: 

Stamper's Delights Digital Image: Anime Just for you Mum

Stamping card: X-press It

Alcohol Markers: Copic - I didn't list these as I colored

Pencils: Prismacolor Premier

White card base: Core'Dinations Premium Cardstock

Teal and yellow card: from my stash

Flowers: From my stash

Leaves: die cut using Susan's Garden Club dies

Sentiment: Crafter's Companion

Finding Balance

Good afternoon, It's the 3rd Thursday of the month which mean Scrapper's Delights is doing their thrifty Thursday offers this week, head over to their store to see what fab offers they have

I got the play with anime Grace, she is both an angel and a devil, which sounds very much like Mollie but lets not go there! No, life is all about balance you can't take the good without the bad and visa versa. I wanted to highlight both sides of Grace so I colored her hair in different colors as well as highlighting the difference with blue and grey backgrounds. As she is both an angel and a devil I colored the gems around her feet and on her scythe green for envy - I'm sure this would be a deadly sin that would show its face with such a split personality. The sentiment is one that comes with the image and one I'm going to use to focus me this year!

Scorpio Strikes

Good afternoon, October has definitely arrived, the air is cooler and fall colors are abundant.

October brings Scorpio and Scrapper's Delight's VIP deal this month brings a whole host of Scorpion images free if you purchase this week's new release.

My card uses a few of the Scorpio images, a background, sentiment and the anime image:

I layered the images using a graphics program, recolored the Scorpio text and printed on to X-Press It card. I colored it all using Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils, adding white gel pen for highlights.

I matted a 7x5in card base with an amber colored card, black card and then my image. I then added yellow dots using Nuvo Drops.

The new release are these cute anime girls but all free and Scorpio is yours free of charge.

It's your month Aries

Good afternoon. Tomorrow we fly to the UK and I am so looking forward to spending time with my family and friends. I'm busy making sure I have all my blog posts covered as well as getting stuff together to pack.

Todays post is the VIP release from Scrapper's Delights and its the next zodiac sign which started on 21st of March.

Let me introduce you to Miss Aries:

Isn't she so pretty,  she is a complete kit of a ton of extra embellishments that all relate to her sign.

I have incorporated 5 separate png images in my card using a graphics program to resize and bring them all together. I colored my card with alcohol markers and colored pencils. A white 5x7in card base was matted with purple card before adding my card front. The only other thing I have added is sparkle pen to the stars which doesn't show up well in the photo.

The Scrapper's Delights VIP deals includes 3 teen Anime each month with bonus images, this month Aries, that you can only get by taking advantage of the offer.

 The teen images are so cute too:

Head on over to the store for more details.
