Tea Time Shabby Chic Card

Shabby Chic style Card

Tea time, what memories that has for many of us.  Just relaxing with a good hot cup of tea, sharing with a friend, talking about all the fun times. If you're not a tea drinker maybe it was coffee time or a soda at the fast food resturant or cookies and milk at home that evokes all those wonderful memories. In any case, it's nice to just relax and take time for all those special people in your lives.  If you can't have a cup of tea, coffee, soda or cookies and milk with them right now, how about sending them a card like the one above. Share a memory or two!


Supplies:
Paper:     Designer Paper Pack by K&Co. and 6" Paper Pad KaiserCraft     English   Rose Collection
Dies:       Spellbinders Frame
Stamp:    Hot Off The Press, Fancy A Cuppa
Flower:   Prima

Supplies can be purchased or ordered from School Adventures (my local SBS)

Directions:

 I used one of the papers from the Kaisercraft paper pad then added a cut out strip from the English Rose Collection down the side. I added the lace trim, adhering to the back of the paper and attached to the card base. Then I die cut the frame from ivory cardstock and inked the edges with Tim Holtz Brushed Corduroy distress ink, . The tea pot and sentiment were stamped onto another paper from the Kaisercraft paper pad using Memento Rich Cocoa inkpad and then colored with Copic Sketch markers. They were also inked on the edges.  Adhere everything and add flower and pearls.

Have a wonderful Friday and a super weekend!

Best Friends

I hope you are all having a great 4th of July.  Nice to have a holiday and celebrate our wonderful Free nation. Sometimes we take for granted the privileges of our freedom. We are surely blessed in the USA.

 

 Friends sharing lunch, secrets, laughs, ideas, that's what friendship is all about. Sometimes we forget to take time to enjoy friends and family. Today is one of those days when we all get together and celebrate what is important to us all, our freedom.  Lets all remember the men and women who have sacrificed to protect that freedom.

I Love America Card MFT Getting Sketchy #23

This was my entry for the MFT Weekly Getting Sketchy #23 challenge on Splitcoast Stampers.  I used the MFT Pure Innocence, Love You With All My Heart stamp and colored her with Copic Sketch markers. I cut her out and placed her on the MFT Dizzy Doily. I free-handed the flowers on her dress and the flag within her heart using my Copic Sketch markers. She wears a tiny blue ribbon bow in her hair.  Don't you just love these little Pure Innocence stamps. They are quite adaptable to many different themes. The Red white and blue sticker is from K&Company's Americana. Bazzill cardstock and Jillibean Minestrone Paper make up the card base. White cardstock was embossed using a Cuttlebug musical folder.

For those of you in my area you can purchase all of these at School Adventures.

You can order a nice set of 72 Copic Sketch markers from Amazon.

Poppies

Today's card is inspired by the stamp Poppy, by Crafty Secrets. I love flowers and since I live in the desert and it's difficult to grow flowers the next best thing is to paint them. I have done many oil and water color paintings mostly of roses so when I saw this stamp I just had to buy it!

This was painted with Copic Sketch markers. The colors used were,
