A rainbow of colors

ring on the color! For the past couple weeks we have been challenge to make a few projects inspired by rainbows. Gosh I know how a rainbow  happens…it’s all physics. But honestly a rainbow still amazes me. Don’t get scared seeing me with my jaw dropped or smiling like a fool when I see a nice rainbow. I am glad even with tiny little ones that happens by accident when a garden hose happens to make the right spritz… That is me, a color fool! Proudly. lol

Today I am sharing with you’re a CAS (clean and simple) project. Sometimes lean and simple is a huge challenge for me. I got used to adding patterns and mixing things together.  I absolutely liked this challenge. I will try again very soon lol. CAS here I come!
My card was created by using Gilli element heart stamp (first series). I stamped my image and then colored with copic markers. After I was done coloring I added a coat of glossy accents to each heart to make it shiny (okay that starts not sounding so simple..bare with me lol) and give a little more dimension. I let the gloss dry and bordered the hearts with a thin coat of stickles (yeah, you knew I would not pass the bling…lol).
The embossing background was made using a Sizzix folder (luv how deep they emboss). The lace detail is a punch by Martha. Oh I almost forgot..the ribbon….colored with copics! I told you I was a coloring fool! LOL
I guess that is how my sentiment came about (made using copic multiliners)…forever yours….all the colors of the rainbow!
Please join us for a colorful challenge over TTCDR challenge (you have a couple days left) for a CAS challenge!
See you around soon with a new project!

Happy St. Patricks Day!

oday we are going Irish! Hey,everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day! Right? LOL. It is quite fun preparing a green card! So many cute traditions on St. Patrick’s…like those sweet potatoes candy. Humm. They are yummy..and I don’t even care for Cinnamon (I know I just offended more then 1/2 of the population..but the spice makes me choke – so I do have an excuse : ) ). Oh, the Soda bread….even that Silly Green Milkshake from McDonald's. I have a very dear friend that green milkshake is her St. Patrick tradition ; ). Cheers! Every time I see that shake pops she comes to mind!

Please someone tell me what “ Erin-go-Bragh” means? I heard some explanations but I am still puzzled LOL. It sounds so funny.
As you can see I did have a good time making this card. Since I found this little sentiment from Studion G…right away  I knew what Gilli  I would use! Sassy Parisian Gilli! I colored Gilli with Copic markers and created a little stripped pattern on her tee using my copic multiliner (I cannot go without it - if you cannot find them locally check out oozak.com, Rusty got them all and all the trimmings). For a more fun and party like look, I added a little ruffle lace to Gilli’s skirt! Of course I had to add bling ; ). How about those shoes..yeah she is very in with her glitter pumps…Gilli’s Lebuttin LOL (matching the hat too! ).

The base and the clovers were created using the Silhouette cutter. That Celtic knot is super cute!. A cute little lace makes a frame for the base. The trellis is also from the Silhouette library.DP papers are from MME and Crate Paper. Little embellish stamps, from Studio G.
If you are feeling lucky this week join us over The Greeting Card challenge over The Outlawz! If you are feelin’ really really lucky (or just wanna have fun) come over To House of Gilli, the house is going green this week!!
Super hug!

Note: 

Thanks Jojo. Jojo was kind enough to educate me!! Here is what Jojo explained to me about the sentiment I used on my card : ) 

"Erin go bragh is a way to express allegiance to Ireland. They say it means Ireland Forever"

Best Wishes

ay…hello there!

craving flower sights? I am. love the rainbow of colors that pops up every week when spring comes.

Today I am sharing with you a project I made using the luxurious papers from Paper Temptress.  I had this idea in mind to make a very delicate card,  but you know me, I like texture. So I run into my special folder where I keep my PT special papers and ta-da!

My best wishes card is made with Leather papers. The leather paper has just enough texture to give a very nice feel and beautiful looks to a project. To add a little extra touch I added distressing ink to the border of the paper…and this effect worked better then I expected thanks to the paper. The little leather “wrinkles”, sorry I cannot find other way to describe lol, allow the ink to go deeper into the paper adding such a rich feel to it. I was pleased. : ). My next step was creating the tiny flowers. I used a SU punch to create these little ones, but there is a catch, I used vellum. Peach velvet stripped vellum to be precise, really cute paper. At PT you will find amazing quality vellum. Don’t try this using flimsy stuff or you will get frustrated lol. So go to Patricia she has what you need..and more LOL.

The beautiful swirls are dies from memory box, and the cute sentiment cut a SU punch. I use copic multiliner to write the sentiment. 

Please come visit the Paper Temptress community. You will be delighted with the variety of projects the DT showcase over there. Mojo gone? Come over for some neat ideas!

Thanks for dropping by!
