Bird Page

I used Prismacolor Premier colored pencils to color this birds nest. My husband said the birds should have had red breasts. Does he not see that would not go with my color scheme! LOL

Ellie thought I should have stopped the brown (from the background) to contain it to the circle and I agree with her entirely. If you watch the you tube video I post that knowing what I know now I would have done just that. She is so smart.

The colors I used are:

  • Cream 914
  • Lemon Yellow 915
  • Sunburst Yellow 917
  • Yellowed Orange 1002
  • Mineral Orange 1033
  • Pumpkin Orange 1032
  • Terra Cotta 117
  • All the french greys, 10,20,30,50,70,90%
  • Dark Brown 946
  • Black 9352
  • 70% Warm Grey
  • Espresso
  • 10% cool Grey 1050
  • Light Aqua 992
  • Deco Peach 1013
  • Peach
  • Light Peach
  • Nectar
  • Sap Green Light
  • Pale Sage 1089
  • Kelly Green 1096
  • Olive green 911
  • Grey Green Light
  • Sand 940
  • Jasmine 1012
  • Light Umber 941

So I thought while I was on a roll that I might just make one post of some of the Christmas cards I made this season.   If you want additional info on name of the stamp, colors or papers used, etc. Please do not hesitate to ask.  I would be happy to help.

I CASED a couple of these cards.  The Lovely as a tree rustic card was CASED from http://glendasblog.com/01/07/hardwood-and-lovely-as-a-tree/    the Poinsettia was CASED from http://sweetpeasamplings.blogspot.com/2011/12/winding-down.html  and the blue Lovely as a tree from Wizards Hangout . Also the festive flurries card was from a card on pinterest.  http://www.pinterest.com/pin/149604018847593364   I tried to find it on the posters blog but couldn’t .  I would like to thank them for the inspiration.

I also use Deconstructing Jen for sketch inspiration.  If you haven’t already, check her out.

Much love this holiday season.

Hey Guys.

The Stamping Chef and Simply B Stamps had a Goddess challenge and offered these cuties for just a dollar.  They are both such generous and lovely women.  So I love to support them any way I can.  And I get some cute stamps too.

Cleo betty goddess

Thank you ladies for the awesome stamps.

I used Deconstructed Sketch for inspiration on card design.  If you haven’t seen her site check it out.  I use it all the time. At the top of her site click on deconstructed sketch and there are lists of sketches that you can use.

Hello,

For those of you that do not know me well, here is a little fact about me.  I make cards all the time and am TERRIBLE about mailing them out.  This card is for my daughter in law, whose birthday was weeks ago.  I sent this out yesterday.  I know, it is shameful.  I did call her on her birthday though..

Good Morning!! Hope that this finds you enjoying your weekend.  I can’t believe that it is already the end of November.  Where has the year gone?

Today’s images are especially fun ones.  I love em.  Though I don’t know why anyone would want to shoot our sweet and loving Corinne with an arrow. (giggle)Nov challenge open

nov challenge frontI used a diamond gate fold that I found on Splitcoaststampers.  You can find the tutorial here.  (The small clothespins are just to hold the card closed for the photo.)

I used The Paper Studio Affinity papers.  The die is from Spellbinders Fantastic Flourish two.

For those that asked, the retreat was AWESOME!  I had such a good time.  Miss Betty was an amazing hostess.  The house was perfect, the jacuzzi warm and the wine was tasty.  Although it was not my most productive weekend, I met some fabulous gals that I hope to see again at the next one.

Jazzy sends a big hello!

Hugs,

Wendy

Well here is the last blog for this month’s challenges.

Anything but a card bagThis is for the Teen Line Anything but a card.  The bag is an old Christmas bag that I recycled.  The papers are from Summer Fresh from Simple Stories.  The happy birthday is a card tag that I bought from Joann’s eons ago.  The image was colored with copics but a while back when I didn’t write things down.  Sorry.

The next card is for the favorite techniques challenge.  Layering is a technique I use on almost all my cards.  Also coloring with Copics LOL

Dragon HugsThe papers I used are from My Mind’s Eye Handsome Boy.  Copics:E50,00,21,R20, R30; YR24, E31, E33; YR12,14,18; YR00,02,Y18; BG45,49; B0000,C00, N10, R14; E34,37

Happy Friday!

Today’s card is the dreaded masculine card. LOL  I bought this image from Fred  She Said you can find it here. (They have many beautiful flower digis as well.) Plus they offer 10% off $10.00 and 20% off $20.00 everyday.  Can’t beat that.

Fred Said She Said TruckI bought this stamp so that I could take Suzanne Dean’s copic coloring class.  I wanted to learn how to color rust.  I think that the rust looks rather nice.  Suzanne is a great teacher!!  Here is a link to links of all the classes that she teaches.  I believe she teaches prisma coloring as well.  I took the copic 5 class.  It has 18 different videos.  Each video teaches a different techniques.  I learned a lot!! It was well worth the money.

Anyway, I hope you have a great weekend and I will talk to you soon.
