Calling all strong women!

Hi everyone!  I'm here today with a card using another of the new Susana Loves Stamps available in the Quixotic Paperie store...

This is my most fave of the collection!  She is called Adventure Eyes who I stamped on to my favourite Make It Colour Blending Card again and coloured in with my Copic Markers. I matched her up with My Mind's Eye Fine & Dandy Boy papers which I distressed and then inked up the edges using my Ranger Archival Ink Pad in Jet Black. 

I framed the sentiment using the MFT Die-Namics Well Worn Greetings Dies and for the elements I used MFT Die-Namics Vine Border and MFT Die-Namics Royal Rose die.   Because I wanted one of the flowers to be smaller than the other, I just cut off a few of the larger petals before I rolled it up.

I hope you like my card as much as I enjoyed making it!  Have a fab weekend and *see* you again soon!

Hi there - it's Mary J here to show you a card I made using Susana Loves Stamps one of the new recent releases available in the Quixotic Paperie store...

Isn't she beautiful?  This is Courageous Eyes who I stamped on to my favourite Make It Colour Blending Card and coloured in with my Copic Markers.  For interest I used Make It Crafty Butterfly Leaves and Fancy Ribbon Sliders laser cut chipboard and also the flourish die cut using my MFT Die-Namics Vintage Flourish. 

I coloured the elements in using a combination of Tim Holtz Distress Markers in Crushed Olive, Worn Lipstick and Black Soot.  I also used these pens to colour the seam binding ribbon and scrunched it up for more texture.  If you look carefully, you can just about see in the photo below that I gave the elements some sheen by colouring on and then rubbing in Sakura Gelly Roll Clear Stardust Pen...

I hope you all have a great weekend planned.  Today I will be swimming in dolphins so I know I'll be having a great time!  ttfn!

Have you seen the new *Oddly Sweet monsters from Susana Loves Stamps yet?  As soon as I saw them in the Quixotic Paperie shop, I fell in love with their quirky oddness - just perfect for my quirky friends and those men in my life!  I've been having a lot of fun colouring them in and here is my next make using Monster Chill...

This is definitely going to my husband...or perhaps my teenage nephew...could be one of my work colleagues...!  Ha ha!  Looks like I'm going to have to make a few more cards with this one!   I matched him (cos this couldn't be a her!) up with My Minds Eye All Spice papers and some Distress Ink around the edges.  I keep thinking I need to add something more, but I think I need to leave it CAS style!

If there's anything you think I need to change on this, please let me know!  Thanks for visiting and I'll be around to see you later!

 I am entering this into the following challenges:

• Show Me Thursdays
• Phindy's Place - Male and Jokey (MJ!)
• St Luke's - for teenagers

 

For a great friend

I'm here today with a make using some more gorgeous Quixotic Paperie goodies!

I love these SCACD newbies!  This is Susana Loves Stamps Garden Eyes or you can get her in a set of four that comes with am exclusive free stamp.   I used Bazzill kraft cardstock for the base and My Minds Eye Miss Caroline Fiddlesticks papers.  I used 10mm beads for the flower centres and the sentiment is from the Whimsy Friendship Ticket stamps.  And do you like the layout?  I used the new April-May sketch...

I hope you get a chance to play along - the random winner will receive a £15 voucher to use at Quixotic Paperie!  Go here for all the deets!
