Going Green…literally

Happy Thursday!  Today’s WT Challenge at SCS is “going green.”  We can recycle, reuse, anything of that nature.  Or with St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, we can take that literally and use green on our card or project (like I did here).

I used Springtime Lily by Stampavie (purchased from All That Scraps), coloring her with Copics to match my patterned paper.  I  “rearranged” the striped patterns a bit to MAW3CUaccommodate my sentiment. (The stitching helps to hide the cut line.)  I also added some brads over the circles along the top edge within the scallops.

The center “lace” piece was cut out from additional paper and stitched at the top edge to add just a bit more interest.

My little clovers and butterfly were cut out and popped up by placing a tiny drop of glue only in the centers and bending up the edges.

MAWIFAnd I used a scrap strip from the patterned paper to quickly and very easily finish the inside.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Cuddly Cuties

Hi everyone!  I hope your weekend has been great!  Mine….it’s been ok.  A whirlwind of children in and out the door, a sleepover, a whopper of a headache all day today…  Once again, I’m looking forward to the peacefulness of my Monday.    (I love the sound of my house fan.)

I just adore these Rachelle Anne Miller images from Stampavie.  I decided to try a woodsy/rustic look for Lily and Milo.  I hope it works.  I think it does. 

I used a fall-ish print, added lots of faux stitching and some sponging.  The sentiment was pieced together using two Kim Hughes sets.  I think her sentiments/fonts are perfect with Lily and Milo. 🙂

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I’d let you know what I’m posting next but I have no idea.  *shrugging shoulders*  Have a great night/day!

Cutesy Patootsy

Happy Sunday!  I don’t know about anyone else, but I am looking forward to my quiet house tomorrow once the kids are back in school and hubby is back to work.  I’ve really enjoyed the break, and I do have quite the to-do list, but it will be Q-U-I-E-T.  I’m not going to turn on a single thing that makes noise.  (I did the vacuuming today.)

Thoughts of You

I really like the images from Stampavie.  This is my first Rachelle Anne Miller image.  (I’m certain there will be more.)  I think they’re so cute.  I used Prismacolor pencils with some Diamond Stickle accents.  The patterned paper is glittery too. 

I didn’t like the blank corners at the top so I added some extra little dots and stars to match those within the stamped image, then I also added some little flower corners.  I still had Kim’s “Tag! You’re It!” set on my table so I used the tiny flower and one of the sentiments.

Since the focal point did not lie flat across the uneven layers beneath, I layered a scrap of patterned paper on top of a scrap of the brown cardstock and adhered that under the right side of the image.  I often do this to guarantee the focal point is level.  Often times, pop dots are too thick to balance the surface.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope your holiday was a happy one! 🙂
