Unicorns and Friendship

Hi Guys!

My Simon Says Stamp Card Kit dropped into my mailbox while I was away on retreat, it took me awhile but I finally got some time to play with it. When I saw Unicorn Princess by The Paper Nest Dolls I just new I needed to combine her with the papers in the kit. I love the soft pink, corals and mint that the card kit has and it seems to be a color way that is very in right now. Todays card is a friendship one, and I thought I would show that even though the card kit is a "valentine" one you can use it for so much more. A little tip, I usually try to match my copics to my pattern paper, this time I found BG34 that fitted perfectly and then I just looked through my copics to find a darker and some lighter markers that would enhance the BG34 beautifully. Thats how I usually work.

Love Struck Emma - Valentines Series #1

Hi Guys!

Time to get those valentines and love cards going, I believe that valentines is one of those great times to show your near and dear ones that you love them. So this year I'm starting a little valentines series, and though I start out with a "traditional" love card with pinks and hearts I thought I would also mix it up during the series.

Avery with Heart Key

Hi Guys!

Today I have a clean and simple card, I must be honest for the past couple of weeks I've been struggling with my creativity the idea I get don't really turn out the way I want. But I found something that work, when I don't "feel" a card I leave it for awhile and go and do something else. Then when I come back I'm no longer in the middle of it and can have another "eye" at it sort of. I did this with this card, the first idea was to make a paper pattern card as I usually do, but I didn't "feel it", so I went away and cross stitch for awhile (and watch some criminal tv series, love those) and when I came back it just hit me, I need to make a splatter background with Abandoned Coral and I need to use some die cut sentiment. And it just came together, I really love the result.
