Happy 3rd birthday to Henry, one of our grandsons….A fun time was had by all!
Magnolia-licious is having a blog hop with an Edwin challenge so I’m going to enter this card…
Edwin is from Magnolia of Sweden rubber stamps, the Spring ’09 release. Doggy on his scooter is from Penny Black rubber stamps. Both colored with copic markers. The two postal cancellations are from Close to My Heart…love this set…(reminder to self) still need to buy the girl set. Martha Stewart butterfly punch. I traced around the actual punch and cut out, to get the solid butterfly to put behind the punched butterfly…just thought it needed that! Hours later….lol The happy birthday words are from EK Success and the 3rd is from Technique Tuesday. Wish Big is Amuse or Savvy, can’t remember and Henry’s name is die cut with Quickutz Blossom alphabet. The pattern paper is from My Minds Eye.
Henry has a stuffed doggy that he LOVES and carries with him almost everywhere! It looks like this Penny Black dog, so I just had to buy the stamp!!! lol Henry also has a red scooter….perfect. I usually don’t talk about family on this blog, but I have to tell you that Tim and I have 8 grandchildren and everyone is a total JOY! They make me smile and I love getting hugs and kisses!

Penny Black flower stamps, Cosmo Cricket Fleuiste pattern paper and Martha Stewart’s scallop lacy border punch were used to make this “just wanted to say” card. I have to say the elongated nestabilities rectangles are some of my favorite dies! Oops! I almost forgot the SU word window punch!
Found this super fun blog this past week and had to enter with a card I was making for one of my daughters! One of the sponsors liked my entry and emailed asking if I’d create a card and be the guest designer for the next challenge??? I only panicked for a few minutes and then agreed to try. Here is the card I submitted to Jennifer for the OCC color challenge this week….
The color challenge is to use the colors Regal Rose, Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue, all Stampin Up card-stock and ink colors. This little girl (Penny Black rubber stamps) is all ready for Spring, see the word “spring-time” in the music? I colored her with copic markers. I really liked using YG11 and YG17 for the certainly celery colors. I dyed a little piece of SU’s white taffeta ribbon green w/the YG11 marker…I’ve been wanting to try that! For the Regal Rose match, I used RV 11, RV13, RV14 and RV 19.
I used the teeny 1/16th green Bazzill brads in the two holes of the flower button and put the white dots on the brads w/a white sharpie poster marker. The flower button and the flower are from a Making Memories embellishment jar for Valentines Day. The leaves are two different Martha Stewart punches. The little baby’s breath is a border punch w/six little flowers and the stem is from The Punch Bunch. I used the Martha Stewart fence punch in the background and the Fiskars mini pinking decorative scissors to cut the top of the certainly celery card-stock, for the grass line.
I used the new Hero Arts grid stamp on the certainly celery card-stock and a Hero Arts floral background stamp on the regal rose card-stock. The small white buttons are from Lasting Impressions for Paper and I used a teeny strip of rose card-stock for the “paper” thread. Oh for the copic match to bashful blue I think I like B21 the best but I also used a little of B34.

The little boy stamp that’s stealing your heart is from Penny Black….love coloring w/the copic sketch markers…Eoo, Eo2, R20 for the face/flesh…R 22, R24, R27 for the reds….B91, B93, B97, B99 for the blues…Y21, Y35, Y38 for the yellows…can’t remember what I used for the red hair this time…I keep experimenting w/different markers for the red heads… I have a bunch in our family and they’re all different beautiful reds! I colored on Beckett Expressions 80# Radiance card-stock for the first time with this image! OH my, it is my new favorite for coloring with copics…it is so easy to stay in the lines…and smooth, oh, it is wonderful!
The pattern papers I used here are from Carolees Creations…I wanted to keep it simple this time, so the image would be the focal point for sure. Again, those puffy little hearts from K & Co., I heart them!
