Hi all.  I have a new card to showcase for Imagine That Digi Stamps.  I used the image from the Ballerina files.  I decided to make the image in pastel colors.  It reminded me of when I was young and use to dance.  I used colored pencils with Gamsol to smooth and blend the colors.  I use a Chartpak marker and Brilliance ink for the background.  The entire image was cut out with Nestabilities dies.  I add some glitter on the top and bottom of the card to glam it up a bit.  I also used Viva Decor pearl paints to make the pearls on the flowers as well as the cut out.

As you can see, there are some adorable sentiments that go with this image.  I hope you will use the image and one of the sentiments.  

Until next time...

Welcome Spring!

Hi all!  It is finally spring as of this past week.  Here at Imagine That Digi Stamps, the design team members are doing spring inspired cards.  Mine is called Welcome Spring.  I have included a lot of elements on this card.  I've used the digi designer paper from the Love Lifts You set and the image from the Jacqui Welcomes Spring set.  I colored with Copic markers and used Flower Soft in the flower box.   I dry embossed the yellow card and added a silk flower that I pieced and glued together.  I also glittered some sticky paper and cut the vine with a die.  I stamped Hello and cut it out with a leaf die.  Whew, that was a lot of stuff for someone who likes to keep things simple!  (There are actually more things that I did not even mention!)  Anyway, I hope you enjoy finding all of the elements that I used.

So Cool

Today's project for Imagine That Digis by Kris is not one of the progressive images.  I decided to take our favorite Goose, Gertie and see what she was up to this winter.  Turns out, she is skiing on a little patch of ice.  I did several techniques with her.  I paper pieced her coat and hat with the designer papers that go with her file.  I colored her in with Copic and Sharpie markers.  I used white flocking for the pompom and rim of her hat and also on her coat.  I used a white, fine glitter for the ice and glittered the sides, top and bottom of the actual card.  The inside of the card is actually the same color as her mittens.  The sentiment is also from the same file.

One More Christmas Card!

Hi all.  I know we are almost halfway into January, but I have one more Christmas card to post.  I am sure this will be my last for quite a while so please indulge me!  I made this card for the Imagine That design team.  I thought this adorable snow angel in the snow globe was just too cute not to use for this project.  After coloring and cutting out the image with Copic and Sharpie markers, I used a brush-on glue and added some white glitter to look like it had snow inside.  I use pop dots to give it dimension.  The sentiment is also from this set.  It is called Snow Globe Angel and you can purchase it from the link.

Be sure to check out the Imagine That challenge blog and see how you can get free digi stamps.

Imagine that Design Team Card and 2 others.

Hi again.  I sure have been busy this week.  I've been sick and haven't left the house since last Friday so I have had time to work on some cards, between resting and naps.  The first card I want to show you is one that I made for Digi Darla's challenge.  The subject was Fins, Feathers or Fur.  No, I did not do a kitty!  I wanted to use a digi stamp from her site.  I looked through a bunch that I have on file, but I decided that the pair of parrots would be the most challenging one.  I Printed the stamp and colored with Copic markers, Spectrum Noir markers and Sharpie markers.  I also used some Perfect Pearls powders to give the birds some shimmer.  I don't think you can see that in the pic.  The rest of the card was die cut, and embossed.  The feather at the top was painted red with a Copic marker.

The second card that I did was made for my new neighbor and friend, who has been so kind to have driven me to the Dr. and all over and brought me food and gotten my mail.  She has a dog named Butters and I found an image that I printed and colored to look like Butters.  I even found this great designer paper that I thought was perfect for this small thank you note.  I even made the envelope with the same paper.  I added the punched butterfly and added some glitter pen to it.  I thought it looked like he was looking up at something, so I thought the butterfly was perfect!  She really loved it!

Now, for my Imagine That Dt card.  The digi image is called Fuschia and Hummingbird.  It is a lovely image and I added her sentiment about grace, that goes with the set.  You can see the whole set, here:

After printing the image and coloring it in, I die cut the image, along with some beautiful designer paper, to use as a frame.  I pop dotted it on to a bright fuchsia card stock and added Teariffic tape around the card and sprinkled some glitter that complimented the colors.  I love doing this technique!  The vine is die cut and glued over the image piece.  How is that for bright?  I also added Perfect Pearls to the bird and flowers, but again, it really is not visible in the pic.  

Well, that's all I have for today.  Please check out the other beautiful projects that the girls have been working so hard on, and give them a little love!  I could use some of that too, so please leave me a comment also.  We really want to hear from you.  It makes what we do a lot more fun if we know that people enjoy our work!
