Another Easel card…this style really works well for the 6×6 papers and folds up so nice, but most of you already know that because you’ve been making them! lol
The challenge at Just Magnolia blog is an easel card this week…
The challenge at Friday Sketchers blog is the sketch I used….
The Challenge at Cute Card Thursday is anything you like to celebrate each year…birthdays, anniversaries, etc…
The challenge at Saturday Spotlight blog is birthdays and using your birthstone color (mine is aquamarine)….
The challenge at Copic Creations blog is to use your favorite coloring technique from their challenges the last year (mine is coloring black)

Here’s a close up of Honey Tilda sitting on the Honey Jar – so sweet!

Honey Tilda and jar are stamped on 100% cotton Bristol card with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers, The warm grays… y11, 15, 17, 19…YR 21, 23, 24… E50, 000, 00, 11…R22, 24, 27, 59.   The copics really blend easily on this stock but oooooh watch out,   they bleed really quick!  Reminds me of the Canson Manga card weight paper pad.   I like it and look how it changes the flesh colors…the ink doesn’t soak in as much either IMO.

I think that’s it!  Happy weekend and stamping!  It’s all pretty here again…covered with snow! lol

Come Out and Play is the name of this cute stamp by Joan Elliott available at 7KidsCollegeFund.com.  I saw this sketch on the Sketch Saturday challenge blog and just had to finish this card!  I’ve had it colored for a month or more! ugh!

I stamped the bear and snowman on Neenah super-smooth Classic Crest 80# card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored with copic sketch markers and cut into a circle with nestabilites circle die….

“Snow time B3995  is a new stamp from Printworks Winter release, stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink…(if you don’t find it on the site,  just include the item # in the comment box)  I used my over-worked stamp a ma jig to get the placement just right! Love that thing!

The main background is embossed with a Sizzix Texture plate… the smaller rectangle piece is a cuttlebug embossing folder from Cropstop.com….

Martha Stewart snowflake punch for the corner…

1/8 in. ribbon from Creative Impressions.com…

black gemstones for the buttons (missing in photo, lol,  added after photo session)…

snowball bling from Michael’s…

Here I am posting a snowman and it’s raining here this week!   Just so you’re prepared…probably be another snowman coming soon! lol   AND some Magnolia Tilda’s I hope!

I stamped Darby and Bumbles on Neenah Classic Crest Super smooth 80# card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers.  YG 90’s for the greens,  YR12,14,18 for the orange,  y11, 15 for the bee,  E21,34,37 for her hair, E50, 000,00,01,R00, R20 for her skin.  oh,  don’t forget the grays…W0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and the sky B0000, 000, 00, 01.

The pattern paper is Basic Grey Mellow.  The grass is a new Martha Stewart punch.  Not sure where the ribbon came from but guessing it’s American Crafts.  Button is Making Memories.

I used the elongated rectangles nestabilities dies behind Darby and EK Success circle punches for Bumble!

“You Make me smile” is a Hero Arts stamps, stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink.  Every thing is edged with the ink blending tool and distress ink.

I used my new Martha Stewart score board to score the Bazzill card-stock card base!!!!  oh my,  I LOVE it!  I know,  sounds silly but the most basic  tools give the most professional look!  I don’t like the bone folder that came with it…very flimsy,  but it works perfect with my teflon bone folder!  Love it!

Some other great challenge blogs I’m linking my card to…

Here’s a close up of Darby and Bumbles…hope she makes you smile!
