You Complete Me

Hello Everyone,  I'm here to share a fun card I made using the "Pieces Of My Heart" collection from The Scrapoholic Candy Shop.  I know it is past Valentine's Day, but this set would work for Birthday's, Anniversary's or even just a card to say, I Love You 

I colored up this cute digi using Photoshop, which I use a lot when I color.  I then decided to play just a little bit.  Well, it was supposed to be just a little bit, it turned out to be more than that, but I learned a few things along the way.  That is important too, right? 

I could not find the paper I wanted to use for this cute digi, so I decided to make my own in my Silhouette application.  Okay, so in all fairness, there is a slight learning  curve, but i spent more time looking for the right background pattern than I did anything.  There were just to many choices!!!! 

When I finally found what I thought I was looking for, I layered it over the top of a pale pink. I did not want the background to over power the fun hearts on the paper.  

I layered the digi and the sentiment on black card stock and carefully placed them on the paper.  It is plain and simple, but that works for me most of the time.   

I hope you like it.  

You can find the digi in the store using this link.  This takes you to the main page, then just scroll down to the Valentine's section.  

Let me know what you think!!!

The Stamping Chef Celebrations Challenge

I am starting the new year off right, in my craft room working on challenges.  Today, I am doing the celebrations challenge from The Stamping Chef.

The challenge was to create a card from any image so I used on the the free images found Miffy which can be found here.

To create this cute card, I create a card stock base, then covered it with Rainbow Hearts paper from Paper Pizazz, which after doing an online search, I have learned is now Paper Wishes.   I got the pretty sheet of paper from Lynne over at HerCraftiness.

Miffy was colored using crayola colored pencils and blended with gamsol.  I used a copic marker (E00 skin white) to color her face, arms, and legs.  Miffy is pop-dotted up off of the paper over the top of a bright pink satin ribbon.  I used the "My Valentine" stamp and a diamond heart to complete the Valentine's Day card.

I hope you will take time to create a "celebrations" card for the fun challenge.  There are some great images on the site to use.

Thanks for stopping by today!
