Let a leaf be your umbrella on a rainy day…
Another month of Swiss Pixie adorable-ness! This is beautiful Rainy Day Birgitta… sweet, sweet, sweet… keeping dry under her leaf umbrella! Birgitta is illustrated by Christine Wooden for her stamp line CC Designs. I stamped Birgitta with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with Promarkers.
I’m sure you’re dying to know about the new dies I’m showing today!!! Well… I’m dying to tell YOU! Aren’t they awesome?!!! Awhile back Christine asked the Design Team gals on our forum what ideas we had for dies! Guess what I asked for… hehe.. yep… a flower border! I couldn’t be happier! It’s totally charming!
The Grass border is separate from the Flower border and then there is the Fence… purely fun! I will make a video on how I shaped it for dimension. Easy, I promise and the video will be short! I stamped the fence with a woodgrain stamp… so cool and then inked the edges with Walnut Stain distress ink and the ink blending tool. I added some copic colored grass to the grass border die cut and some copic pink to the flowers in the flower border… I did do some paper piecing to the dies also… yep… true love… I ❤ these dies!
The Happy Spring Words and Hello sentiments are from a new for this month AmyR Stamps sentiment set called So Wordy…. cool name even and fun fonts too! The flowers I used in the word border are from the NEW Watering Can Logos set we’ll be showing tomorrow… I know… I got a head… just a bit! hehe I used my trusty ‘ole stamp a ma jig to do the word/flower border… no pattern paper was harmed in making of this card! Oh, there are two flower stamps…one solid and one outline… cool… more stamping!
The die cut clouds are CC Designs Cutters cloud dies. I also cut one of the top one to use as a mask to make a cloud background. Following Tracy’s tutorial on the ATS blog, HERE… only I reversed it… used blue paper and white distress stain! I really liked it when I was done too… there is always that chance, it’ll be a bomb ‘ya know… so happy when it isn’t! hehe Always fun to try something different anyway!
Thank you for visiting…

NEW Wings stamp set and die…
Isn’t it so much fun to have dies to match stamps?!!! I’m lovin’ the fun things to create with dies and stamps! Today I used one of the butterflies from CC Designs new Wings Stamp set and the CC Designs Cutter Wings die. I stamped the butterfly, used my clear die cut template I cut with the guide holes for marking where to place the die on the stamped butterfly before you cut, then cut! I love this butterfly with the dots… I used my Japanese screw punch to punch the holes and wrapped the center with wax linen.
So fun to get out some other stamp sets with a butterfly theme to use too… this is the Butterfly Postage Rubber Stamp set. The dotted line on the postcard is from a Marianne Design border clear stamp set called Don and Daisy Decorations.
I cut the red doily out of the October Afternoon Thrift Shop paper… the pattern paper for this card is all from this 8×8 paper pad.
Happy Spring wishes winging your way! ttul!

Paprika is glad it’s Spring!
She’s such a pretty thing! Love how she colored up! Paprika is part of the March Sweet November release at All That Scraps.com! She’s out enjoying the wildflowers/paper from a 6×6 Crate Paper pad
Here’s a close up… how I colored her. Hair is E50, E51, YR31, Y35, Eyes are BG01, 02, 05
I did wipe off her elfish ear… ugh… shame on me… well, I had to try and see if it’d work! I love it!
Are you loving the Logos sets that Christine is illustrating now? I used one from the Woodland Logos set released last month and one from the Spring Logos set that is part of the March release. Cool… very fun… stamped in a fun green color… Versafine Spanish Moss… love this color! I forget to stamp in color ink… Black is such a good color! lol
And of course I had to use the CC Designs Cutters Leafy Branch die… they’re back in stock! yea! YES, you do need it! = ) And the small butterfly from the Butterfly Border die… yes, it is smaller than the butterflies in the Butterflies Die set.
I think I took enough photos… silly… just post ’em all when you can’t decide! That’s what I do! snicker!
The inside… All you need is Faith and Trust and a little bit of Pixie Dust… one of last month’s Woodland Logos…
Thanks for stopping by to meet Paprika! There’s a great post on the ALL That Scraps Blog featuring the Sweet November release… check out the cards from the other DT gals… HERE.

Ima Butterfly…
So…I tried the no outline coloring… I love it but… when I took the pictures this a.m. her face looked awful in the photos! ugh! boo! whine! So, I tried to blend it more…well, we all know what happens then… ugh! So the photo above is the second photo session because of that evil E11! lol It is not my friend in photos anyway. I thought the coloring was fine until I took the pictures! I used V20, 22, 25, 28 for her dress and boots. E30, 31, 34, 37 for her hair. YG0000, 00, 01, 03 for her wings and a clear Spica glitter pen.
The pattern paper is Basic Grey Sugar Rush 6×6 pad. Dies and punches and of course the Perfect Layers Rulers!
Here’s the first photo I took this a.m. before I tried blending and removing color on her face. I think in trying to get the shading I just used too much ink!
I’m not throwing the card away because IRL, it’s cute and I really like it! Figures I can’t get a photo that does it justice! Oh well, click over to the ATS Blog and see the fab cards by the some of the other ATS gals. Tons of new stuff in the store @ All That Scraps.com too… Scroll down to see my post about the coupon code for the NEW Magnolia Princes and Princesses collection and magazine!
Have a great day! Not sure I should try anything else new this week! hohoho I do need to do some more creating so who knows what will happen! lol
Thanks for stopping by and here’s the stamps and such that I used today…
