I wanted to try something a little different with a sort of Valentine theme.  I was looking through my notebooks and found the Corner Bookmark pattern from Split Coast Stampers.  I also had a new heart punch from Martha Stewart that I really wanted to use.  The red background for this card is the Rosso Incandescent.  The pink is the Mountain Rose Glimmer and all the white is the Neenah Solar White. The pattern paper in the middle is actually white paper that I stamped with a  Cover-a-card background stamp from Impression Obsession called Rose Lace.  I love the Cover-a-card backgrounds because I can make my background paper in whatever color matches my project. I colored the rose with copic markers.  Also I almost forgot the beautiful red ribbon. I think it is the Burgandy Metallic Mesh. It does look a little different in real life and I find it to be more of a red, but it makes beautiful bows.  Sometimes I need all the help I can get on my bows. 

Today I am showcasing an Angel card using digi-stamp from artist Ava Schwark of Addicted to Stamps with wonderful papers from Paper Temptress. This stamp is called Angel 1 (Click here).  I colored the image on Neenah paper from Paper Temptress which works great with copic markers.

Neenah paper works great with copics and for digi-stamps because you can run it through your computer printer.  I have a black and white laser printer. 

After printing, I used some great die cut tools that have a mix of funky flower shapes and odd circle cutsfrom Lifestyles (formerly Quikkutz). I chose two sizes that would match my card. For the background of the image I chose a great lightweight blue paper called Blu Raspberry. The card base is a wonderful Glossy paper that I also textured with a sizzix tool and then added color using a colorbox inkpad called Peacock Blue. I added final embellishment with Prima flowers, fun buttons, and Bo Bunny brads.

When I think of roses I don’t just think of ivory, red or pink any more….these days roses seem to come in all sorts of colors. Shades of yellow,orange and last week I was in the florist shop and she even had purple roses!  I was surprised to find that the orange roses (yes,orange!) were my favorite that day.

Since it wasn’t a holiday or my birthday or any other special occasion in my household…I couldn’t think of a good reason to spend $50.00 on a dozen orange roses! So as my consolation prize I went home skipped doing the laundry and made a card with orange roses.  (grin)

This card was made with Layers of Color’s Beautiful Lace set.  Such a pretty set. I used my wonderful  Spellbinders tag die. Tsukineko inks are a must for me, in this case I used Momento Black. This is the best ink if your plan to color with Copics.

What makes it special is the lovely, shimmery card stock! This is Cryogen white and it is wonderful esp. with copic markers. And of course you can get it  at the PaperTemptress store.  ;D   But don’t stop with the Cryogen white… you’ll need some of the other great colored and textured papers that the PaperTemptress carries! I used a couple of colors from the Pop Tones line of paper, gumdrop green and tangy orange. Those color names even sound yummy.  ;D

Well, beautiful crafty friends… go make a card!  ;D

Happy Monday everyone. Today, my creation is a box in a bag from SCS,

This really was fun and easy to create and perfect for that special someone on Valentine’s.

I used 12×12 White Skinny Column sprayed with Tattered Angels Peach Delight and Electric Blue. I love the texture of the paper and it makes for great quick papges. The Corrugated orange adds a nice touch of texture to the page.

Sometimes, the elegance of cardstock is all that is required to create a beautiful card. The rich embossed texture of Eggplant Feltweave from the PaperTemptress is such a cardstock.
