Pink Cat Studio Butterfly Contest

Hey everyone!!! Well.. I went ahead and entered the contest for the Pink Cat Studio (use their paper piecing butterfly pattern) to create something.. anything that you want.. :)
Soo... here is what I did.. :) I had a blast creating this wall hanger.. I hand cut the butterflies, I used 3d pop dots to lift up the body, bent the top wings up to give it a 3d effect, I used a pink glitter paper for the top wings and punched 3 holes on each wing to add a little bit of fun.... I took puffy paint and added dots to the bottom wings, and attached rhinestone gems to the top of the antennas... I sewed the edges of the patterned paper to hold it down to the base, applied white puffy paint dots to the orange background scallops, added a fun rub on, 3 monochromatic brads.. oh.. and I distressed everything..

can you see the dots? and the 3d effect of the cute butterfly :)
I didn't stop there...

I also created a cute hair bow for my daughters hair..created out of fabric.. :)


Well thanks so much for looking.. :) HUGS

Hey everyone!!! Okay so today starts the Greeting Farm Relay.. you make a card each day (using the free digital stamp they provide you with.. )and then they provide you with the next one the next day.. if you made a card the day before.. :) does that make sense?

So this is the cute freebie you get right now.. his name is Mer Ian.. head over there and grab him.. even if you are not playing along you at least get him for free.. :)

So here is the card I created.. simple and fun.. I stitched each piece of the patterned paper to the base card... I pop dotted the digital stamp off the card to give it some life.. I colored the image using my favorite Copics of course.. I also added a tiny bit of puffy paint for his necklace, distressed the card.. and added a strip of orange paper with 2 brads to hold it down to bring out the fun summer colors.. "HERE COMES THE SUN" little quote was perfect for this card..

Wiff Of Joy DT Call

Hey everyone!!! So I decided to go ahead and go for it.. I am entering the Wiff Of Joy DT call.. If nothing else it gives me an excuse to play with my WOJ stamps..:) and this one if one of those stamps you just LOVE to color..

Here are some fun details about my card. I used 5 different patterned papers, colored my main image using Copic markers. I ended up dry embossing the black polka dot paper and sanding on top of it to give it a more distressed look. Of course I inked the edges of all my papers, and stitched down all my patterned papers. Then I created 3 lolly pop flowers, and added a little gem to the middle of them. I also pop dotted the image off the page, and double pop dotted the lolly pop flowers.

I don't know if you can really see it here.. but on the dots of her hairband, pants, the cookies, and the monster (which I drew on the book) I used diamond glaze to give it some texture..

This was the first time I have ever made one of these fun stand up cards.. and I have a SECRET to share with you all. :) You don't have to decorate the top(of the base) of the card IF you sew your edges down.. because the stitching acts like an element and holds in place.. as you can see in my photo..all my fun elements and embellishments are at the bottom of the card..Not the top :)

The quote says"Most of the shadows in this life are caused by standing in our own sunshine."-Ralph Waldo Emerson.. I just love that.. well thanks for looking... WISH ME LUCK!!!

Here is the sketch we were supposed to use..

I colored the image using copic markers, I then added white puffy paint to our little birds, the fence hearts, the flowers on the grass and the dots on my lolly pop flowers too.. the brand I love the most is Scribbles 3d paint it has a really fine tip and I get mine from Joann fabric store when they have them 2 for $1 you can't beat that..
I placed a ribbon on top of the card and sewed the ends to hold it down.. I single stitched, and zig zag stitched around the image.. I placed a fun square button on the lolly pop flower.. Distressed this bad boy and Volia.. this was such a fun card to create..
