It's Your Day!

Hi and Happy Sunday! It's Tankgirl's day on SCS. She is the featured stamper. I am so "in the mood" to color pumpkins, but I have a lot of birthday cards to get done so this orange card is my personal compromise!! I love orange!!

I used Basic Grey Paper (Ambrosia) with grey and Apricot card stock. The sentiment is an oldie, but goodie by Savvy stamps.
Copics I used are:
YR0000, YR17, YR19, YR04, YR15 Y19, YR18, BG10, E93
and co0l greys, c1, c3, c5, c7 and c9.
This is a card for a man so the only sparkle is a little spica glitter pen on the stripe and chrome.

Thanks for visiting! I love reading the great comments I get!

Apple Bucket by Magnolia

Hi! No it's not the same card as the other day! I was kind of liking how THIS CARD
came out so I decided to pull out an old favorite and make a companion card! I used the same layout but flipped it and the colors are still from CC233 on SCS the other day. This Apple Bucket stamp looks like it will be available soon at Diana's store. You can go there now and see another card I made with it. In fact if you click on the key words at the bottom of the post you should see more (just pardon my photography, please).

I used exactly the same colors as I used on the strawberry card that I link at the beginning of my post!

I want to say a public Thank You to Judi of Angel's Landing and "Judi's Angels" design team for the last three months of inspiration! It has been great working with all of you!

LASTLY, I AM STILL LOOKING FOR HELEN FROM TOPEKA WHO HAS WON MY HALLOWEEN BLOG HOP PRIZE OF A MYSTERY CARD AND STAMP BY MAGNOLIA! PLEASE CONTACT ME, HELEN!

Thanks so very much for stopping by today! I really do appreciate your visits!

FS107 Sittin' on a Cloud!

Hi! Here's my entry for today's featured stamper on SCS-Jami AKA Sgtstamper. She has a terrific gallery!
My Tilda card showcases my favorite in the Valentines 2009 collection. I've been wanted to use her to make a card that was NOT for Valentine's Day, so I went to blue and yellow. My tilda is stamped on hot press watercolor paper and her face and hands are colored with copics. Her hair and clothes are water colored with SU reinkers in banana, apricot appeal, caramel and bashful blue. I used my cloud template for the area behind her. the ink is Adirondack's Cloudy Blue, fitting I think! Maybe the clouds should have been a little darker?
The yellow paper is from last year's Easter paper from Scenic route and the dotted is from Bo Bunny. Love that stuff! It comes in so many colors! I want them all!


Here's the close up of the water coloring. Thanks for coming by today! Back to work tomorrow so I don't know if I can post every day. I do have some cards made up ahead, so we'll see.
Anyway, thanks for visiting!

Hi! This is for the featured stamper today on SCS, Flowergal! She has a wonderful gallery and this was great fun! Here's her card: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1117574?cat=500&ppuser=80229

I cased her card because I had been wanting to use this stamp I bought this summer at a stamp convention near Buffalo. Remember, Lisa?

I'm so glad she inspired me because I like how the card turned out. I think it will be a birthday card for a friend whose birthday is tomorrow.

We had our family Thanksgiving yesterday. I am so glad we got together. I come from a big family of 6 children and we all STILL like each other! Our ages range from 60 to my younger sister who is 48. The difficulty comes because this is our first Thanksgiving without either one of our parents. We lost our mom almost three years ago and our dad this July. Difficult times! It was so great to spend the day with my brothers, sisters, niece and great nephews and niece. Family!

Hope you've enjoyed this Thanksgiving with people you care about. Cheryl
