Masculine Birthday Card

I made this card for my brother-in-laws birthday this month.  He really likes old trucks so I thought this digital image by Fred, She said Designs was the prefect image for my card.

I coloured the image with my Copic Markers, silver glitter pen and distress inks. I added Diamond Glaze on the headlights to give them a glass like appearance. The lock and key are a die cut by Tim Holtz  and I added the chain for interest along with the brads.  I layered the truck over a gear embossed paper.  

Thank you for stopping by.  I am off to my craft room to stamp some more.

It's a Beautiful Day

Fred, She Said Designs has a wonderful new set of digital stamps that have been just released.  The set is called, Happy Flowers & Sentiments and includes many different sizes of flowers for layering they come coloured (oh so many happy colours) and also a package of images not coloured for you to get out your colouring pens and inks to colour them they way you would like them.  The set also included a bunch of digital sentiment stamps.  What a bargin this set is.

I have been traveling so I chose to use the set that I had to add my own colours to, I did not have my colour printer with me on vacation. My flowers and laves were coloured with several colours of distress inks and Martha Stewart coloured glitter. I used the same distress inks to colour the background of the card and a flourish die cut to tie my flowers together.  The sentiment is an old stamp in my collection by Rubber Stampede.  

Don't these flowers make such a happy card. Stop over to Fred's store and check out the set.   Oh the possibilities.

May the Wings of a Butterfly......

I made this card for an upcoming swap at the Yahoo Group The Rubber Inkers.  I hand have belonged to this group for 10 years they are always a lot of fun.  I thought it was a great time to use the new digital images at Fred, She Said Designs. 

The card opens up like a small booklet and I added some butterfly quotes along with Fred's beautiful butterflies that I layered.  The butterflies are one of the prettiest digital images that I have come across. I have only used a very small portion of the set making this card and I look forward to doing more designs with the other images in the grouping.

The card was coloured with a glitter pen, Copic markers and edged with distress inks. From Fred's collection I used the Marigolds & Morpho Set (flowers and butterflies) and also the frame inside of the two pages were from another set called Fred's Flowers v6-Daisies with Bracket Borders, which I printed on pattern paper and die cut with a Spellbinder die cut. 

Thank you for stopping by and do something creative for yourself.
