Mother's Day - Take 2

Happy Saturday!  I hope you are all having a fabulous start to your weekend!  Mine started out great....yesterday was my Anniversary.....Hubby and I have been married for 5 years; we spend the afternoon together and then went out for dinner last night....it was a very nice day!

Today I have the Mother's Day card that I made for my Mom to share with you!

My Mom LOVES Magnolia stamps so I knew I had to use a cute Tilda for her Mother's Day card!  When I saw Tilda with Cozy Heart I knew that this was the cutie that I had to use for my Mom's card!  For papers I have used the MME Lost & Found Breeze Collection (which is 20% off right now at SCACD).

Tilda was colored with Copics and pastel pencils.  Her heart and hair ties got a coat of Star Dust Stickles (look at all of the glitz and sparkle...I love it!)  She was cut out using a SB Circle and popped up onto a SB Scalloped Circle.  While she was still in the Circle die I airbrushed lightly around the edges to give that clean white frame.  The beautiful butterflies coming to join Tilda are Small Sequin Butterflies that are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Copic Colors Used: Skin: E000, E00, E11, R11, R20, Hair: E25, E53, E57, E59, Dress/Socks/Hair Ties: BG11, BG57, BG75, Shoes: E34, E37, E53, Heart: R22, R24, R29.

WOC Flower arrangement consists of a Chrysanthemum, 25mm Roses, 15mm Roses, 8mm Semi-opened Rosebud, Heart Pin, and a Decorative Crown Pin.

The upper right hand corner tag was made using my Doo-Hickey Dies.  Sentiment is from the Verve Joyful Blooms Collection. I hope you have enjoyed seeing this card!  Thank you so very much for stopping and looking and leaving your comments....they truly make my day!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all my family and friends!  Today I want to share the card that I made for my Mother-in-law for Mother's Day....I can't share the card that I made for my Mom yet because she's on my blog and will see it before I can give it to her tonight :)

 I've used one of the gorgeous Guardian Angels from the SCACD collection....isn't she a beauty!!!  This is Sentimental Angel...I love her to pieces!!!  Papers are from the gorgeous MME Indie Chic Saffron Collection.  Sentiment comes from the Verve Joyful Blooms Collection.

Little Miss Sentimental Angel was colored with Copics and pastels.  Her wings got a coat of Diamond Stickles.  Her headband, hair tie, and flower on her jeans were coated with Illuminate Smooch.  Her belt buckle was dazzled up with my Gold Spica.  Now for the beautiful heart....this is a Studio Calico wooden heart from the Hearts & Arrows Collection that Susana carries in the store -->here<--.  I took this plain wooden heart and then grabbed my Gum Arabic Powder and my Luminarte Pink Azalea Mica Powder.  I mixed equal parts of the Gum Arabic Powder and Mica powder....added some water to it with my paint brush and got this gorgeous "paint" to cover my wooden hearts with.  I absolutely LOVE the shimmer and sparkle in these Mica powders...they are AMAZING!  Remember: if you want the sparkle of the Mica to stick you need to add the Gum Arabic powder with it :)  However you can get a gorgeous watercolor with just the Mica and water.

Copic Colors Used: Skin: E000, E00, E11, R20, R11; Hair: E25, E34, E53, E57, E59; Jeans: B91, B93, B95, B97, B99; Hair Tie/Headband/Shirt/Belt: YR01, YR12, YR14; Wings: YR0000, YR000, YR01, YR12; Pillow: R81, R83, R85, RV55, RV63, RV66.

Wild Orchid Crafts arrangement consists of a beautiful Large Wild Rosebud, 30mm Wild Rose, 15mm Rose, Aster Daisy, Sweetheart Blossoms, 8mm Semi Opened Rosebuds, 4mm Rosebuds, and another Studio Calico Heart that was painted like the one above.  Flowers got a coat of Star Dust Stickles for glitz.

WOC arrangement #2 consists of a 15mm Rose, Sweetheart Blossoms, and 4mm Rosebuds. These flowers too got a coat of Star Dust Stickles.

One more view so you can see all of the sparkle, shimmer, and glitz in my card!  I hope you have enjoyed seeing my Mother's Day card!  I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Pinterest Project #1

Happy Sunday...I hope you all are having a fabulous weekend!  Today I have a different type of project that I am so excited to share with you all!!!

How many of you are addicted to Pinterest?  My sister and I are very addicted and LOVE Pinterest....we have MANY projects in the waiting to complete and every day the list keeps getting longer and longer of things we want to make!

Yesterday we competed our very first Pinterest project!  In April my sister had the opportunity to head over seas and visit Germany, Italy and France.  Her boyfriend is in the U.S. Army and is stationed in Germany at the moment.  On her trip she took some AMAZING photos and found a project on Pinterest to take your photos and adhere them to canvas to hang on the wall as a collage.  She went and bought the canvases in three different sizes and then picked out which photos she wanted to blow up to those sizes.  I had some black metallic acrylic paint so she painted the edges of each canvas; and yesterday we used spray adhesive to attach the photos.

Here is the finished collage!  What do you think?  Of course these aren't on the wall yet; as my sister's boyfriend is coming back to the states in August so she will be moving, but we wanted to get the canvases complete now since she had the photos  :)  Aren't her photos gorgeous?   I can't wait to see this on the wall of her new home!!!

And one side view so that you can see the beautiful canvas edges!  We absolutely LOVE how this turned out!  Now we can say we actually completed a Pinterest Project! :)  I can't wait until my house is build so that I can make a photo collage with some photos of mine!  I hope we have inspired you to make a project that you have found on Pinterest! :)
