Creative Knockouts - Birthday Wishes

Hellllooooo everyone! I haven't been having the best week (spent way too much time dealing with a nasty migraine), but I'm feeling better now, and am thrilled to share this with you!  There is a brand new challenge on the Creative Knockouts blog.  This time, the theme is 'Birthday Wishes', and we are sponsored by Imagine That.  

I used their adorable image Pinwheel Crab for my card.  As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to make some pinwheels of my own.  I hope you like it!

The Copics I used for this are: crab - R20, R32, R35, YR24, Y21 & Y32; pinwheel - E31, E35, G000, BG32, BG34, YR000, YR00, YR02, YG00, YG03, YG25, R01, R02, & R08.

The card was made with Bazzill cardstock, and paper and embellishments from October Afternoon (Cakewalk).  For the pinwheels I cut 2 pieces of paper into 3" squares, folded them in half (diagonally), and in half again. I then unfolded it, and cut each crease 3/4 to the center.  I pulled each corner to the center (overlapping) and secured it with a brad.  I then cut a paper straw in half and glued it to the back.  It'll pretty much be impossible to mail this in an envelope, but that's okay - I will just have to hand deliver it to someone special:)  

Thanks for looking, and don't forget to pop on over to the Creative Knockouts blog to enter your 'Birthday Wishes' card and check out the other awesome DT makes!

ABM - Beautiful Amy

Happy Easter everyone!  I do hope you find time today to celebrate with your friends and family.  We have a pretty low key day - my husband is traveling for work, so it's just the kids and I.  We're being lazy, eating a bunch, and looking for some eggs!  

I'm hosting the Art By MiRan Blog today, and am happy to share this card with you.  I finished my Easter cards a couple of weeks ago, so it's not a holiday card, but it's one of her new images - Beautiful Amy - and I couldn't wait to color her!

The Copics I uses are: skin - E000, E00, E04, E11 & R20; hair - E40, E43, E47 & E49; kimono - G000, G21, G85, G99, R02 & R08; fan - BG000, BG09 & BG18; lanterns - YR14, YR15, YR18 & Y17.

I used Bazzill cardstock, paper by Basic Grey (Konichiwa), flowers from my flower drawer, and dies by LaLa Land Crafts and Tim Holtz.  Thanks for taking a look!

It's Saturday - Time for a Hot Date!

Happy Saturday, folks!  It's time for me to host the Karleigh Sue Inspiration Blog once again:)  FOr today, I chose to use this fun image - Hot Date - which is just perfect, because my husband and I have a HOT DATE tonight!  With 3 kids, and busy schedules, it doesn't happen as often as we'd like, so I couldn't be more excited! Here's what I came up with for my card:

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E04, E21 & R20; hair - E31, E33, E35 & E37; dress - C1, C3, C5 C7, R20 & R32; bag - G00, BG13 & BG18.  I used a white gel pen to add polka dots to her purse, and I colored her shoes with Atyou Spica 'silver' to give them some sparkle.

The card is made with Bazzill cardstock, and paper from Prima Marketing (The 'Optimist' Collection).  I used die cuts from Memory Box, and ribbon from my stash.  The button is from Prima.  I do hope you'll swing by the Karleigh Sue Inspiration Blog and check out the work by the other DT members.  Have a great one!  I have one card to finish for tomorrow, then I'm off to get ready for my date! Yay me!
