Krista is Back!!!

Hello!  I was so excited to see that Krista Smith started a Patreon and is offering exclusive character art for download to her patrons!  I am one of her biggest fans and this is amazing news!  While I have continued to use her images from my beloved collection of digis, I missed there being new images available!  This will satisfy all her fans who love to color her art as there are different tiers (ranging from $5-$25) you can sign up to pledge per month.  The exclusive rewards vary for each tier so you decide what you want and what works best for you!  If you want to check it out and/or sign up, visit her page HERE!

I have a backlog of cards made with her images that need to be blogged.  My design teams tend to keep me so busy that I put off blogging the other things I create.  I thought I should probably start trying to rectify that!  I needed a baby card for an order for a baby shower.  This is what I came up with.  I cropped and colored one of Krista's images from my stash.  This gorgeous momma-to-be is called New Love.  Can I just say...?  OMG, THAT HAIR!  It was a little daunting at first but I was really pleased with how it turned out!  This card was for a first time mom having a "rainbow" baby (a full-term pregnancy after a miscarriage) so I added the rainbow but it also works well for a regular baby shower as well.  The stitched rainbow die is from My Favorite Things Stamps.  The image is cut and matted with Spellbinders Nestabilities.  All the other dies are La-La Land Crafts.  I dry embossed the background panel for some added texture.  The word baby is a chipboard sentiment from Make It Crafty.

I also made a baby boy version, changing my colors and using a SugarPea Designs die cut to make the baby part of the sentiment.

So Saturated

Hi!  We're counting down the days until the end of school here... Only 7 to go!  How many where you are?  Or are your kids already out and telling you how bored they are?  Lol

If you've spent any time at all reading my blog, you know I ADORE Saturated Canary!  Here are a couple of recent creations that I haven't yet shared.

First I want to show off a card I made this past Sunday for a baby shower.  I am quite proud of this one and really enjoyed putting it together!  I started with the VERY pregnant Overdue digi and then went over the top with my dies again!  I can't get enough of La-La-Land Crafts' dies!  I've used Open Hearts Doily Border, Heart Doily Border, Heart Doily, Moon and Stars Banner, and Rocking Horse as well as the Resplendent Rectangles Nestabilities (Spellbinders) and Fishtail Flags Banner Die-namics (My Favorite Things).  The love/marriage/baby carriage sentiment is from Hampton Art and I fussy cut it before popping it up on foam squares.  I added another sentiment, a JOY wood veneer, white flower lace, flowers, a bling flourish, and tiny safety pins.  Papers are DCWV - Nana's Nursery Baby Girl.

Next is Princess Reading Beauty.  I needed a birthday card for one of Kayne's classmates.  He told me she liked princesses.  It was hard to choose a favorite from Krista' collection of princesses, but once I decided I colored her up with my Copics and fussy cut the image.  She's popped up on foam squares in the center of the card, matted on top of Classic Circles and Scalloped Circles Nestabilities (Spellbinders).  I used a design from Sketch Saturday (#364) as my layout.  Papers are My Mind's Eye - Moments.  I embellished with flowers and a glitter chipboard number 6.

And finally, here's Julie Stylist.  My best friend asked me to make a card for her hairdresser's birthday.  It was sort of last minute so my coloring is rushed and not the best.  And I threw this little creation together with only a couple of dies - Classic Ovals Nestabilities (Spellbinders), LDRS Lovely View (Spellbinders) and Birthday Corner die (La-La-Land Crafts).  Some flowers finish it off.  Papers are My Mind's Eye - Dolled Up.

Copics used: E00, E04, E11, E21, E31, E50, B00, B02, B34, B37, BG10, BG72, Y32, Y35, YG11, R20, R32, R35, N2, N4, N6 

 I've printed out more Saturated Canary images as well!  Hopefully I'll have some time to color in-between all the end of school activities and have more cards to share soon!

Thank you for stopping by!  Have a fabulous week!
