Aurora Wings Unicorn Sprite "Uni-Give Me Fever"
Hope everyone is having a grand day today! I have been loving the digital images I bought at Aurora Wings created by the talented artist Mitzi Sato Wiuff. If you haven't checked out either the Etsy store or the Aurora Wings store stop by she has something for everyone. I had a blast coloring this image called "Unicorn Sprite" she is adorable. I like to think outside the box a bit so instead of a traditional unicorn I made her into a "nightmare inspired" unicorn. I'm entering this card in the #69 Aurora Wings Challenge "Anything Goes". https://aurorawingschallenge.blogspot.com/2018/07/challenge-69-anything-goes.html Without Further ado..... I present Uni (You) Give Me Fever....

Aurora Wings Hyacinth Sprite
I hope everyone is having a grand day! If you have not seen the images from Mitzi Sato Wiuff at Aurora Wings you are missing out. She has created the most lovely fairy, sprite & mermaid digital images for us to color. So today, I present to you Hyacinth Sprite.
I will be entering her in the #68 Aurora Wings Challenge. We were to share our favorite fairy tale theme. Well, maybe not exactly considered a fairy tale, but I grew up with my mom and grandmother reading me stories from two prominent authors/artists of their time.... Most of you are probably familiar with Cicely Mary Barker who wrote The Complete Book of the Flower Fairies (see pictures below) and many other break off versions. And, one perhaps that isn't as well known, but I remember fondly was Vegetable and Fruit Children by Edna Groff Deihl and illustrated by Vera Stone also known as Aunt Estes Stories. (see pictures below) They all reference fairies in either poems or stories and are fantastic. My inspiration comes today from the polyanthus & grape hyacinth print from Cicely.. However, I didn't want to stick with the more usually accepted color of hyacinths and went with a more peachy color and I left out Polyanthus so you will just have to pretend she is there.
I kept my card simple for the simple reason that Hyacinth Sprite is the star of the card and I didn't want to detract or draw the eye away from this adorable sprite. So without further ado......
Here are more pictures of the card that I have created today....

Panda Bayou
I am having so much fun playing with Lawn Fawn's new die Bayou Backdrop!
This time I went the route of use the backdrop as bamboo. I cut the leafy vines more straight like bamboo used my Copics to kind of create a bamboo look and then used two of the leafy dies that came with Bayou Backdrop and created the leaves for the Bamboo. I also used Lawn Fawn's adorable Party Panda set, which I got for my birthday:) So adorable. I decided to make a shaker card out of the final version it was so fun to make! I used the Lawn Fawn Windy Background Die too, but you can't see it from the pictures. Look at the bottom picture to see the finished card:)

Power Poppy August Challenge
Hope everyone is having a grand day as always. I'm entering this card in the Power Poppy August challenge. https://powerpoppy.blogspot.com/2017/08/august-challenge-mix-and-match.html
The challenge was to pair two different digital images or two different clear stamp images or go crazy and blend digital and clear images.
Well, I just had to go crazy so I blended three of their fabulous images.
For my Digital image I used the lovely Gerbera Daisies from Power Poppyhttps://powerpoppy.com/collections/digital-stamps/products/gerbera-daisies; my sentiment is from the Lavender clear stamp set https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/lavender; and the (as I adoringly refer to them as) "fuzzy balls" are from the Bough Wow Wow clear stamp set https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/bough-wow-wow.
I've added each of the links so you don't have to search to find these awesome images!
The base of my card came from the Spellbinders Grand Calibur Labels 23. I tried to link this one, but I fear this might be a discontinued die from SpellBinders.
The inner stitched mat is from Lil' Inkers Rounded Stitched Rectangles.https://www.lilinkerdesigns.com/stitched-mats-rounded-rectangles/
I used Reflections Green & White Chevron paper.
Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad.
Copics used:
Red flower: R20, R22, R27, R89
Orange flower: YR02, YR04, YR07, YR09, E99
Yellow flower: Y00, Y02, Y04, Y06, Y17, YR27, E97
Stems: YG11, YG13, YG17
A few more pictures of my card. Be sure to stop over at Power Poppy and check out their other incredible stamps!!!

Silent Night
Hope everyone is having a grand day today. It is 110 degrees in sunny Arizona and I so miss the cold snowy weather of Michigan. So in honor of the upcoming Christmas season. I made a festive card with Ching Chou Kuik's beautiful new stamp Scarlett Holly from Sweet Pea Stamps. You can get this gorgeous image at 7kidscollegefund.com and sweetpeastamps.com
To start off my card I used heavy cardstock in white in roughly 5 1/8" X 7" measurements.

I then used Art Glitter Designer Dries Clear adhesive to set the ribbon.
I then cut out the frames for the image with SpellBinders Matting Basics both A & B and stamped the sentiment Silent Night by Hero Arts Rubber stamps.
Then the fun began......
I mixed Art Glitter's Faux Snow, Art Glitters Dazzler's line in Confection & Art Glittler's Ultrafine Transparent Glitter in Crystal and applied this mixture to the background of my card to make the illusion of frost for my card.
I then outlined the rest of the card in Art Glitter's True Red Ultrafine Opaque Glitter around the edges for some eye-popping bling. To get this neat of an edge you will want to use Art Glitter's Ultrafine Metal Tip and Designer Dries Clear Adhesive.
Thanks for stopping by...

The Red Violin
Hi, hope everyone is having a grand day today! I had the distinct pleasure of attending the Red Violin performance at the Orpheum Theatre last night. Elizabeth Pitcairn is beyond amazing, her bow work is flawless, and the "Red Violin" Stradivarius she plays brought tears to my eyes. It is definitely the inspiration for today's card.
I started out by stamping Penny Black's gorgeous rubber stamp called, "Music Collage" onto Georgia Pacific cardstock. You can find that image and more at www.PennyBlackInc.com or www.PBstamps.com
I colored the image with the Copic Markers below.
For the Sketch Markers since the picture is a bit shiny... I used YR30, Y13, YR14, YR18, E25, YR24, YR21, T9, T3, T7, T4, T1 in no particular order...
I then used my favorite SpellBinder's die. Grand Nestabilities Labels Four with a light yellow cardstock and a Yellow/Gold Bazzill Cardstock. The Ribbon is Offray. Now for the fun part:)
I glued everything together with my go to glue Art Glitter's Designer Dries Clear.
This time however instead of using the Ultrafine Metal Tip for this part of the project I used one of Art Glitter's fantastic glue paintbrushes. I don't believe they are listed on the website, so if you want them you will have to call Art Glitter at 928-639-0805 to request them.
I usually use Robert Simmons brushes, but have found that my paintbrushes don't handle the glue well like the Art Glitter glue brushes do. They were specially formulated to work with the glue and they are wonderful!
I then used Art Glitter's Designer Dries Clear Adhesive & UltraFine Metal Tip to write the Calligraphy on the bottom of the image, the dots, and the piano keys.
I used Art Glitter's Ultrafine Opaque Glitter in Black for the dots, calligraphy & piano keys.
I used Art Glitter's Ultrafine Transparent Glitter in Halo for the rainbow effect on the labels four area.
I used Art Glitter's Ultrafine Transparent Glitter in Orange Crush for the rainbow effect on the Labels Four area and for the main image color.

I hope everyone likes the finished project as much as I do. Thanks for stopping by!
