Forever Love

I adore this stamp and I think it is because he is just so thoroughly kissing her!  It looks like he just grabbed her but it also looks like she loves it as her toes are curling.  Every kiss should feel like the first one!

I colored the love scene with Copics and then as I  began to create the card I ran out of pink paper.  Another lesson, check how much you will need before you start making your project.

I have to thank the incredible, wonderful Cathie Allan for teaching us how to make our own patterned or colored papers.  The piece that is lightly stamped on the front was a piece of white paper and I colored it with ColorBox Fluid Chalk ink in pink pastel.  The border on the inside left and the tag in the interior pocket was also colored the same way.  I lightly inked the border of the phrase piece also with the pink pastel ink.

Thank you Cathie Allan for all you taught us.  Miss that store and you so very much!

The pocket was punched with a Martha Stewart border punch and the hearts are Spellbinders.  The flowers on the front are from Magnolia and stash, the tag was a Tim Holtz border die, the stamp is from Hampton Arts and the ribbon is Fabricland.

I hope you like this one and I wish everyone the kisses that make you feel wonderfully desired!

I took those photos again as I wanted to try to get them whiter.  They look much better now. 

Get the blue out!



Here is the pic of the interior of the card.

Sweet Dreams

"Sweet Dream are made of this...".  Okay, does anyone remember the "Eurythmics"?  This little stamp from Stampavie is just so adorable and cute.  I colored her with Copics.  The colors used are:  BG01, 000, 0000;
Y13, 11, 17; B23,21; C03, 01; E25, 33, 000, 00, 11; R20.  I painted the moon and stars with Mica Watercolor Paints from US ArtQuest.  I just love those paints for the shimmer!  The card base is 130 lb paper that I purchase from Canadian Scrapbooker; the image base is Copic Xpress It paper, the blue is from Bazzill and the patterned paper is from K and C and the ribbon is from Fabricland.  The inside phrase is from Hampton Arts and I embossed with gold powder. 

I would love to hear what anyone thinks of this one.

My dream right now would be a free trip to Barbados with my Copics.  Give me a beach, sunshine, and  a drink in my hand and a stamping magazine in the other hand with the bathing suit on, pre-stamped images and I will color forever!!  Anyone else ready to ditch the cold?  Stay warm and I will hopefully have some other creations up soon.
