The Copics I  used are: skin - E11, E50, E51, E53, E93 & R11;hair - V93, V95 & V99; dress - Y17, Y32, Y38 & YG21; flowers - R24, R35, R46, R59; butterflies - E08, E19, YR14, YR16, YR18, E71, E74 & E77; background - B32, B34 & BV0000. The image is printed on x-press paper.

Cali Girl

Hi everyone!  Getting kind of late here, but it's been a pretty productive day, and I thought I would share my latest card with you.  It's another 'just because' card...I'm so glad I'm making time for that! This one is using the image Cali Girl by Hannah Lynn.  My daughter and I just love her images.  They are fun to color - especially their hair!  I went a little funky with the hair color, but am pleased with the result.  What do you think?

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E11, E21, E93 & R11; hair - R81, R83, R85 & R89; eyes - BG000, BG01 & BG05; dress - E71, E74, E77, W00, W1, W2, W3, BG11 & BG57.  The image is printed on x-press paper.

For the card I used Bazzill cardstock, MME paper, cheesecloth, Wild Orchid and Prima flowers, Prima butterfly, and dies by LaLa Land Crafts and Spellbinders.  It's been a while since I've made one of these cards, and I forgot how much I love them! I'm not sure yet who this will got to, but another thing I want to be sure to do in 2016 is send cards!  I have so many, and I sell some, and send a few, but there are so many I want to start giving to friends and family.  Maybe to a stranger once in a while...you never know when you'll make someone's day, right?  Thanks for taking a look!

Azalea

Happy Friday everyone! Bus week - I am ready for the weekend! We are kicking off a new challenge over in the Art by Mi Ran Facebook Group.  You may remember that our Anything Goes challenges now also have an optional theme.  This month our challenge is 'Anything goes/Option of Anything but a Square'.  I LOVE this one!  If you've seen cards on my blog before, you probably know I am a fan of shaped cards. And ever since I got my Spellbinder Grand Calibur for Mother's Day, I've had fun with it.  For our challenge this month, I made a circle card, and I am using the gorgeous image Azalea.  She was so much fun to color.  I knew I wanted bright colors, and here's how she turned out: 

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E11, E21, E93 & R11; hair - BV20, BV23, BV25 & BV29; dress - BG000, BG01, BG05, BG09, W000, W1 & W3; flowers - Y15, Y17; RV23, RV25, RV29 & BG05.  The image is printed on x-press paper.

Here is a closer picture of the image: 

For my card I used Bazzill cardstock, paper by Sherri Baldy, sticker by Webster's pages, Wild Orchid flowers, pom-pom trim and dies by Tim Holtz and Spellbinders.  As I said, I just love using my Grand Calibur to make shaped cards.  I highly recommend getting one!  Christmas isn't very far away...just sayin'!

What is your favorite shaped card?  Why not make one, and enter it into our challenge? We would love for you to join our Art by Mi Ran Facebook Group if you're not already a member.  And if you already are, we thank you!  The DT has some beautiful projects to wow and inspire you.  I do hope you will join our fun challenge.  You might be one of our lucky winners!   Have a great weekend everyone!

Two-Scoop Tammy

Good morning everyone!  It's time to kick off a brand new Anything Goes Challenge over on the Arty By Mi Ran Challenge Blog.  I'm joining the amazing DT over there, and would love to share this card I made using Two-Scoop Tammy.  Isn't she sweet?

The Copics I used are: hair - E35, YR23, Y21 & Y32; clothes - G000, BG11, BG13, BG19, RV000, RV23, RV25, E40 & E43; ice cream - E11, E13, E15, Y17, Y21, Y32, RV000, RV02 & RV04.

For the card I used Bazzill cardstock, paper by Fancy Pants Designs (Summer Sun), and dies by LaLa Land Crafts & Spellbinders.  I so wanted to add more to the card - if you've been to my blog you know I love flowers - but anything else was too distracting.  I think in this case, 'less is more'.  I'd love to know your thoughts!  Please hop on over to the Art by Miran Challenge Blog to check out the amazing work by the DT members, and to join the challenge.  You don't have to use an image from Art by MiRan, but there are extra incentives if you do.  Check out the Art by MiRan Etsy Shop to check out her amazing digis!  Thanks for stopping by!

Blossom Breeze - ABM

Happy Friday peeps!  We have a new Anything Goes Challenge over in the Art by MiRan Facebook Group!  The DT projects this month are A-mazing!  There are so many gorgeous images to choose from in the Art by MiRan Etsy Shop...I can't wait to see which one you use!  For my project I am using this fun image called Blossom Breeze.  She has a 'hippie' look (to me, at least), so I went with a 'Peace' theme for my card.  What do you think?

The Copics I used are: hair - E40, E43, E47 & E49; dress - V000, V01, V06, V12, V15, Y02 & Y06; flowers - RV10, RV14, YR00, YR14, YR18, BG11, BG13 & BG18.

I have really been into shaped cards, so for this, I used my Spellbinder 'Grand Stately Circles' - the second largest (folded in half) for the base to stand the card, and the smallest for the base layer she is on.  I love that the border looks like peace signs!  I have had this paper (and Peace sticker) from LYB for ages, and this was the perfect project!  I also used flowers from Prima and Wild Orchid, leaf die from LaLa Land Crafts, and ribbon.   Super fun, right?

Thanks for taking a look!  We would love to have you join our Art by MiRan Facebook Group and join the fun!  Have a great weekend everyone!
