Playing Catch Up

Sketch #28

 I know everyone else is watching football today but, despite living in Patriots territory, I really have no interest in the game.  So I thought I'd take some time to catch up on a few card created within the last month that I never got around to blogging.  

First up is a Christmas card I created for my son's day care provider.  It features Winter Fairy Halla from Mo's Digital Pencil.  The image is colored with Copics and cut with a Classic Circles Nestabilities from Spellbinders.  Papers are My Mind's Eye - 'Tis the Season.  Seam binding and flat back pearls adorn the card.  The sentiment is from a Waltzingmouse Stamps set called Twas the Night Before Christmas.  Sketch is courtesy of Seems A Little Sketchy.

Markers used: Copics (E11, E21, E00, R20, Y32, E31, YG93, YG95, YG97, R29, BG10, BG13).

  
Next is a birthday card for a co-worker.  Blanche from Saturated Canary reminded me so much of my shoe-loving fashionista friend that I had to use her for this card!

Blanche is colored with Copics and cut with a Classic Ovals Nestablities and matted with a Lacy Ovals Nestabilities, both from Spellbinders.  The sketch was created by my amazing design team mate Kathy for our DT call over at The Corrosive Challenge.  Papers are My Mind's Eye - Vanity Fair. Punched border is Martha Stewart.  The only embellishments this card needed were a few flowers.

Markers used: Copics (E11, E21, E00, R20, E04, E13, E17, E19, E23, E37, YG91, YG93, YG95, YG97).

  
Here is another birthday card, but this one was a request from a co-worker for her mom.  I've used Artist London from Simply B Stamps.  She is from the Back to School Teen Scene collection.

 Sketch #23

She is colored with Copics and cut with a Labels One Nestabilities from Spellbinders.  The image on her easel is one from Tiddly Inks called Light My Life.  The border punch is Martha Stewart and I also used two dies from My Favorite Things, Dizzy Doily and alphabet.  Papers are My Mind's Eye - Dolled Up.  I added a bling swirl, flowers, and a metal corner.  This is another layout from Seems A Little Sketchy.

Markers used: Copics (E11, E21. E00, R20, YG91, YG93, YG95, YG97, N0, N2, N4, N6, N8, E79, E37, E31, E23, Y35, R81, R85, V17, BG10, BG13). 

 Celebrating a first birthday is special and I wanted my cousin's daughter to have a card that was worthy of that.  Kai Is One (Girl) from Mo's Digital Pencil fit the occasion.

 This little cutie is colored with Copics and cut with a Classic Circles Nestabilities from Spellbinders.  She is then matted with a Picot Circles Nestabilities, also from Spellbinders.  The papers are My Mind's Eye - Fine & Dandy Girl and I paper pieced her party dress using the polka dot pattern.  The border punch is Martha Stewart.  I added some glittered chipboard letters to spell out her age.

Markers used: Copics (E11, E13, E21, N2, N4, N6, N8, R20, YR15).

And finally, a birthday card for my son's day care provider.  I see now I used the same papers as her holiday card!  lol  This is Latte from Saturated Canary and I thought she was perfect for a winter birthday.

    Sketch #240

She is colored with Copics and cut with a Lacy Ovals Nestabilities from Spellbinders.  I sponged some Pool Party ink around her.  Paper is My Mind's Eye - 'Tis The Season.  I also added pleated ribbon in Riding Hood Red, flat back pearls, a flower, and a Tim Holtz metal corner.

Markers used: Copics (E11, E21, E00, R20, R24, R27, R29, BG10, BG13, BG15, N0, N2, N4, N6, N8, E23, E33, E31).

Phew!  Okay, that was quite a backlog of cards!  Hope you enjoyed my creations.  I am off to watch a movie with the small man.  Yup, still no football here!
