A Pretty Ballerina

Here is a 4.5" square card I made for the Girls & Gingham DTGD challenge, and Amber's Sketch challenge. Isnt this little ballerina adorable?? She comes from the Little People collection at Lizzie Anne Designs. I had so much fun with these DTGD challenges, I dont think I have ever created so many cards in one week, and it really stretched my creativity.

here are the supplies I used for this card:
Cardstock: PTI- Raspberry Fizz, White.
Pattern Paper: Echo Park- Sweet Sumertime.
Stamps: Lizzie Anne Designs- Ballerina. PTI- fillable frames 5 (sentiment).
Ink: Memento.
Accessories: Spellbinders- Scalloped Ovals LG and Classic Circles LG. Black Gingham ribbon, Cotton Candy stickles.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

More Anni-VERVE-sary!!

I'm still celebrating the Anni-VERVE-sary....are you??? Here are my cards for sketches 5, 6 and 7. Can't wait to see the rest of the sketches. Julee is giving the rest of the sketches today, so we can have the weekend to work on them!! Sketch #5 is a great sketch, and it requires the card to be TALL. Again, I was able to use some of my new Lizzie Anne Designs stamps. The set used here is "By The Sea." I {{LOVE}} the mermaid image in this set. It reminds me of my daughter when we go to the beach, she is a little mermaid, and never wants to get out of the water. I see myself using this stamp on a lot of scrapbook pages! So... my card is tall... very, very tall. I think I made the dimensions 4X9 for this card. Too tall?? I used SU Soft Sky as the base layer, along with Basic Grey Euphoria Designer Paper and SU Celery as the middle layer. Lots of green rhinestones and glitter were used to give this card some glam. The fish are popped up on dimensionals. I also used wasabi and bayou ribbons. For some reason, I had alot of trouble with sketch #6. I just couldn't visualize what I wanted to do with the sketch. The "richly blessed by you" card is my interpretation of the sketch...I went back and forth on this one for a while, and finally came up with what you see here. This card uses SU Soft Sky and Always Artichoke paper, along with Fall Flowers DSP. Stamps used were Verve's Thankful Blossoms. I used rhinestones for accents and a white souffle pen. Blue Bayou ribbon ties the circles together. I used the Giga Scallop Circle punch and then Mega Circle and Oval punches for the other layers. I have to say that Sketch 7 is one of my favorites so far. I really like what I came up with for this one too. I used SU Old Olive as the card base and then Basic Grey Sultry Designer paper (this is some really awesome paper, girls!!) I used the July Stamp of the Month Kit from Unity, called Its About the Little Things... for the pretty butterflies and the sentiment. The butterflies are stamped in Positively Pink ink. A few of them are popped up for dimension- again, I'm loving the "fly away at anytime" look. Of course, whats a card without rhinestones, and these cutie butterflies call for some stones!! I used green rhinestones to fill in the holes from the threading water border punch- love how we can do that....and to finish the card off, I used pink grossgrain ribbon. That's all for now. More cards to follow this weekend....... HAPPY STAMPING!!!

Who's da Princess....

I am sooooo lovin' this new stamp set, called Once Upon a Time, from Lizzie Anne Designs. Of course, having a daughter, I am drawn to anything princessy or girlie themed. I was just experimenting with this set, so this card doesn't really serve a purpose...although, I may just end up using it on one of Amanda's scrapbook pages in the long run. The Lizzie Anne stamp sets are so much fun because they allow you to color the very detailed images any way you want. So, if you {{LOVE}} to color....invest in some of these babies!!
For this card, I used the following: Paper: SU Lovely Lilac, Basic Grey Euphoria Designer paper, and SU Pixie Pink for the layers. Lace ribbon was used as a layer. Accessories: Pink and Clear rhinestones, pink grossgrain ribbon, GLITTER, circle punches, scallop corner punch, threading water border punch and Copics to color the images.
I look at this card and think about dress up and princess parties with my daughter...it's going to be so much fun!! Thanks for stopping by, HAPPY STAMPING!!
