Happy birthday with lily of the valley

Here is another stamp from lily of the valley. This stamp sold out the first day they went on sale but luckily I was able to get one as soon as they restocked. For this card I used SU card stock and nestabilities. I embellished it with paper flowers, twine and a pink button. I also added lace.

Digi Card

So last week I was following Lucy’s Cards digi tutorial week and learned some great tips and techniques. I made a card using the info Lucy graciously shared with us and will be entering her contest she is hosting. For this card I used digi kits “A star is born ” from hero arts and “comic book papers” from mygrafico. The stamped image is “gadget girl” from kraftin kimmie and I colored her in using my Copic markers. I combined and changed the colors of the comic book paper and cut out a star from “a star is born” kit. I definitely enjoyed all her tutorials and will be using a lot more digi kits on my cards. Thank you Lucy for sharing.

Super Girl!

 

Kraftin Kimmie’s “Gadget girl” stamp is part of the new super hero collections. For the blue background image I used hero art’s digital print. I’ve never used digital designer paper before but I really love it!. The great thing about it is that you can put multiple patterns of, lets say 4″ by 4″ size  on one sheet of 8.5 by 11 and you can print as many as you want. I also used the text included with the stamp.
