Sylvia Zet for SCACD is HERE!!!!

Happy Friday Friends!  The day we've all been waiting for is FINALLY here!  Today you get to meet all of the Loli and Poppy stamps!  I hope you are enjoying the beautiful stamps that have been created by the newest artist at SCACD...Sylvia Zet has done an amazing job creating these exclusive cuties for SCACD!  If you've come from Danni's Blog then you are in the right spot, if not head over to Elaine's Blog to start the hop at the beginning...you don't want to miss any stops along the hop!

Today I have the honor of "re"-introducing you to Poppy, she was one of the two cutie pies who was previously sneak peeked by my fabulous DT sister Elaine over at the SCACD Blog.

I am totally in love with all of these new stamps!  I just can't wait to get home from work each day so I can color!!  The whimsical fun each of these images has is so adorable!  When I was creating this card I was feeling in a shabby chic kind of mood!  I've used crackle paint on the edges of the papers as well as the doilie and flowers for some added chic-ness!  Paper are from the gorgeous Authentique Uncommon Collection.  Corner resin pieces are from Melissa Francis.

Poppy has been colored with Copics and then I used my pastel pencils to shade.  Poppy's wings have been sparklized with Star Dust Stickles.  Her headband and shirt were treated with Illuminate Smooch.  Her eyes were given a coat of Diamond Glaze for the real-ness factor.  The entire image was then lined with my Viva Decor Hologram Glitter Liner.  The ladybug border was made with my MS punch and accented with some rhinestones....can you tell I am in love with bling?! LOL!  Poppy likes bling too....she told me so!!!!

 Here you can see the crackle paint on the flowers.  Dark pink flowers with pearl center are Delightful Day Prima flowers! I love these tulle like flowers....they are so fun and gorgeous all in one! The remaining flowers are from WOC.

 Here you can see the Doilie and paper that has been accented with my crackle paint.

And one more angle shot...hopefully you can see all the sparkle, shine, and bling on my Poppy image from here!

Now head to the SCACD store to get your very own Loli and Poppy stamp sets!  Loli has her own stamp set and Poppy has her own stamp set.  Each set comes with a FREE stamp!  If you purchase both sets that means you get TWO FREE stamps....how great is that!!!  For our European friends you can get your exclusive SCACD stamps at Quixotic Paperie!

Please Help....

**Please scroll down to see my Fall Flora Fairy SCACD post**

Hi Friends~

Edited to add: Thanks for everyone's help.....Donny and his truck have been found!

I know this is totally off topic....however I feel this is the least I can do to help!  My brother is an over the road trucker driver and hauls food products to the west coast and back to Wisconsin for a company called Heim Trucking.  I recently became aware that Heim Trucking is missing one of their truck's and its driver....they haven't been able to contact the driver since Monday, and he was supposed to unload his truck yesterday, but never showed up.  This is totally out of character for this gentleman, and no one can get ahold of him.  We are worried that he may have had an illness, been in an accident, or something much worse may have happened.  If you could please take a few minutes to read the below info, and if you are in the Spokane, WA or Montana area if you could please keep a look out for this semi truck and driver that is GREATLY appreciated!!!!

**Posted from Teamster Nation: Blog***

We understand that if you're sitting at a computer reading this blog, you're probably not driving a motor vehicle. But maybe you will be soon. Trucker's Voice asked us to pass along this message about finding a missing trucker. We're happy to help. Here's the message:

Fairy Wishes to You

Happy Friday Friends....while I hope you are all enjoying your day....I have my nose in my book studying away....gearing up for my CPA exam next week Wednesday (which I am starting to get nervous for)!  Tomorrow I am taking a break from studying and am heading to the spa with my sister for some much needed relaxation time....hopefully it helps my brain relax so that it remembers all of the pertinent info for next Wednesday!

Today I have LOTS of crafty fun that I get to share with you!
First: you NEED to head over to the SCACD Blog....today my DT Sister Elaine is showcasing another sneak peek of one of the newest stamps designed by Sylvia Zett for SCACD....are you as excited as I am for the up coming release of these cuties?!


Second:...while you are checking out Elaine's stunning work.....if that isn't enough excitement (her work is drop dead gorgeous)... I hear there is BLOG CANDY to be won too...so make sure you sign up!


Finally:  If all of that wasn't enough to make you want to faint.....today Susana has another SURPRISE!!!  That's right we have a SURPRISE stamp release to share with you all!  SCACD has a WHOLE NEW LOOK....I have the honor of introducing you to Tulipa which is a part of the Fall Flora Fairies Collection by SCACD Stamp Co.

These fairies are absolutely darling...I can't get enough of them!  For my card I have used papers from the Brand NEW Bo Bunny Garden Girl Collection.  Fairy Wishes sentiment is from the Emerald Fairy Sentiment Set that Susana has in stock at SCACD....this sentiment set goes PERFECT with the fall flora fairies being released today!

Of course I colored this cutie with my Copics.  Along with my black pastel pencil I also used a gray and white pastel pencils for shading and highlights.  Image was cut out using my SB Labels 14 die, and while it was left in the die I airbrushed the sky with my Copic ABS.  If you look closely you will see I used some beautiful purple glitter to accent my sentiment.  This was so easy to add with the help of my TonerTex Pen.  The pearl star in the upper right hand corner of the picture is from Wild Orchid.

Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and arrangement consists of a 40mm Curly Wild Rose, 25mm Wild Roses, Cherry Blossom, Sweetheart Blossoms, Gypsophilas, 8mm Semi-opened Roses, Purple Stamens, and a small sequin butterfly.  Flowers have been sparkalized with my Diamond Stickles.  Edge has been punched with a MS punch and accented with Self adhesive rhinestones.

For this angle you can see all the sparkles!  Tulipa has been glamorized to the max!  I've used Star Dust Stickles on her wings as well as the butterfly.  Then I took my Crystal Glamour Dust Paint and coated the pink parts on her dress....seriously if you haven't gotten this paint yet what are you waiting for!  It's so easy to use, dries quickly, and gives amazing sparkle and color!

Now head -->HERE<-- to go and purchase your very own Fall Flora Fairies!  For our friends over seas you can purchase these beauties from Elaine at Quixotic Paperie, -->HERE<--.  Happy Shopping and I hope you fully enjoy your weekend!
