Artful Sentiments Weekly Copic Challenge and GinaK Designs card

I postponed putting my Artful Sentiments card on the blog because I didn't want it to get lost in the Oh Say Can You See Blog Hop which had to stay up for Saturday and Sunday. What a lot of fun it was to create the projects for the blog hop, but to get so many wonderful comments was amazing. Thank you everyone who stopped by and especially those who left comments, I really appreciate it and look forward to seeing you again.

Here is my Artful Sentiments Copic Challenge #15 card. The colors this week are B26, R29 and C0. I know you saw it last week but I created it for this challenge but I like it enough to show it twice :P

I colored this darling Patriotic dog from KLM Digital Designs with copic markers and highlighted the fluffy areas with a white gel pen. I used the red and blue in the bandana and the C0 for the main dog color.
Be sure to check out the rest of the DT cards, they are wonderful.

I got some new GinaK Designs stamps this week and today was the first day that I got a chance to play with the Many Wishes free set with 3. I have seen so many beautiful samples from the GinaK Design Team using this set I knew I would love it. Here is my first card:



I stamped the dandelions with versamark and embossed with white embossing powder. The background is SU certainly celery, and Adirondak lemonade and Sunset orange.
The wonderful sentiments are interchangable in this set making it very versatile for many different occassions.
This is one of those cards that looks sooooo much better in person. You can't see the embossing, the faux stitching aount the main image or the sponged background. Oh well, maybe you will be able to click on it and enlarge the detail.
I am enjoying a long week-end of stamping and just relaxing. See you tomorrow with a project from Dog Gone Stamps and possibly more from my new GinaK stamps, you never know how many I will get done. I need to get started on my daughter's birth announcements too, this month will go really fast.
Have a great day, Catch you later!!!

Almost 4th of July Already!!! Free Digital Image!!!

Where is this year flying to....I can't believe that in 5 days it will be July 4th. Here is my first of week long 4th of July cards:
Patriotic Dog is a free digital image download right now, so if you have been thinking of trying digital images now is the perfect time!


This darling Patriotic Dog is a digital image from KLM Digital Designs. They have 3 really cute Patriotic images available for purchase right now, just in time for that Holiday card.
Americana colors have always been one of my favorite combinations.
I colored the dog with copic markers and then used a white gel pen to give his coat definition on his muzzle, chest and ear. Sometimes you can click on the image and it will enlarge so you can see the detail close up ( sometimes it doesn't work, never have figured that one out yet)
I don't know if you noticed but there isn't any sponging on this card! gasp...what's up with that? The biggest reason was that when I printed off my page of images there wasn't too much room between the images so not much white space I wanted to fill.
The blue cross hatch paper and the red and white striped ribbon are from GinaK Designs, the solid blue was from Michaels, the RedRidingHood is from SU and the white is GP white.
The gold stars are from Michaels in the clothing embellishment section and I used glue dots to adhere them.
I actually have to work from 9-6 on the 4th this year, unless I find someone who is only part-time that wants to work. I will get paid either way only if I work it I get time and a half.
Hope you like the cute Patriotic Dog, and be sure to check out the KLM Digital Designs.
See you tomorrow.
