Guest Designer - Art by Mi Ran Blog

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  Actually I am still sleeping right now (I hope), but I am here with a card and some exciting news!  First the news!  I was invited to be a Guest Designer for the Art by Mi Ran Showcase blog for the month of December!  Woo hoo!  I am thrilled and honored, of course!  Today, I get to share my first project for the month.  I hope you like it!

I created a multi-layered snowflake-shaped card using my Cameo.  The patterned paper is from one of my Christmas mat stacks.  I love the swirling snow and subtle foil elements on it.  The beautiful image is Princess of Snowflakes from Art by Mi Ran.  I colored her with my Copics then added lots of Star Dust and Icicle Stickles to make the image really sparkle! I also added some regular glitter to her collar. I cut out the image with a Spellbinders Lacey Ovals die.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I added two Memory Box Snowflake Corner die cuts and some pretty white lace to finish my card.

 

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Here is my blue/green card:

My card base and mats are Kiwi Kiss and the patterned papers are from the Echo Park Paradise Beach 6x6 pad.  The pretty image is Nimiane Mermaid from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I colored in soft aqua shades with my Copics.  I added Liquid Pearls to her hair and Green and Crystal Stickles to the shells and spots.  I also added some Glossy Accents to the bubbles.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.   That's it.  I didn't want to add anything else this time.

In My Thoughts

Good morning!  Happy Wednesday!  Hope you are having a good week so far!  We're halfway to the weekend!  Got to love that thought!  Anyway, I am here this morning to share a card I made for a couple of challenges I enjoy doing.  I somehow managed to get this one done in between my DT work.

Here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are SU Gumball Green and the patterned papers are from the Bo Bunny Country Garden 6x6 pad.  The adorable image is Sunflower Sprite from Aurora Wings.  Mitzi generously shared it as a freebie for the current sprite challenge on the blog.  I printed it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I used the Birds on a Wire metal die from Little Miss Muffet Stamps as a banner at the top. Some eyelet lace (Webster's Pages trim), flowers with buttons and a few pearls finished up my card.

"Fore" Your Birthday

Hi again!  I'm back with a second quick post today.  I'm not really supposed to be up, but I wasn't resting well and I was antsy to post a card I made for a couple of challenges. Obviously, I'm not a very good patient - lol!  Anyway, I'll make it quick. There are a lot of Father's Day/masculine challenges out there and I went with the masculine theme for all of them.  Since I lost my Dad 6 years ago and my father-in-law last month, I don't really do Father's Day cards.

Here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are SU Not Quite Navy and the patterned papers are from the Authentique Loyal 6x6 pad.  The golf bag image was a freebie from Tiddly Inks with the purchase of the Father's Day-Vintage Truck digi.  I printed it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added some grass under it with my Copics, too.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.   A bit of stitched ribbon on the tag finished my masculine card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Thanks for stopping by again!  I'll be back tomorrow with a special post, so hope to see you then.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Tiddly Inks Challenge #135 (Lou's sketch)
Hobby Cutz Challenge #51 (Father's Day or masculine)
Craft Your Passion Challenge #217 (Father's Day or for the men/boys)
Tuesday Throwdown #199 (for a special Man)
Seize the Birthday (summertime plus birthday)
Digi Galore (nautical or blue)
Papertake Weekly (for the boys)
Cute Card Thursday #325 (so macho)

Spring Gardening

Good morning!  Happy Tuesday!  Hope your week is off to a great start!  I've got tons to do this week, but I hope to still find time for a little crafting.  Before getting on with the day, I am here with some GD inspiration for the Make it Crafty Facebook group. Today I am  showcasing the digi that is only $1 this month if you are a member of the MiC Facebook group. Head on over there and join up if you haven't already and you will find a code that will get you this month's fun digi for just $1!  What a deal and you get tons of MiC inspiration and fun chat to boot!

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Buckaroo Blue and the patterned paper is from the Webster's Pages Spring Market Petite Papers pack. The $1 digi for May is Edna and Ali Gardening.  I merged it with one of the pre-made country scenes called Country View Scene.  I printed the merged image on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added a bit of Yellow Stickles to the flower centers and Glossy accents to Edna's glasses.  A simple stitched ribbon bow finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the scene:

Flower Power

Hi there!  Happy Tuesday!  How is your week going so far?  We got off to a crazy start with severe weather!  There were several tornadoes in the region last night, with quite a bit of damage.  Luckily for us, we just had the strong winds and lots of rain and lightning.  It was still pretty scary until we finally got the all clear around 12:30 AM.  They say we may get some more strong storms tonight, but I hope it won't be as bad as last night.  Especially because our friends arrive today!  Anyway, before they get here, I'm popping in to share a card I made for a couple of challenges I enjoy doing.

Here is my card:

 
I know!  Can you believe I've done another CAS card?  I don't know what's got into me these days!  Not much to tell you here.  The strip of patterned paper is from the GCD Studios Happiness 6x6 pad and it's machine-stitched around the borders.  The adorable image is Cute-ilicious from Tiddly Inks. I had the pleasure of watching Christy actually draw this at the Texas Coloring Retreat last month, so of course, I had to have it!  I printed it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added a bit of Glossy Accents to the ladybugs and some Stickles to the butterflies. The sentiment was a Friday Freebie from Sharon at A Piece of Heart.  You can find it here.  A few gems from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:
