Holiday Birthday

 

It's time for another post for Pattie's Creations Challenge Blog using her "Mice With Presents".  This is a month where my husband and I celebrate our wedding anniversary of 35 years and both of our birthdays, so it's still a party month.  I thought these little mice were so cute.

Used Copics for coloring and paper from my stash, stickles to decorate the packages and ribbon.

It's Anything Goes this month for the blog challenge and we hope to see you there.

Have a safe and Happy New Year!

Hugs, Granny Carol

Poinsettia Plant


 Nothing prettier and more festive than a poinsettia plant during the holidays.  This image is from Pattie's Creations.  I fussy cut several poinsettia's as I wanted to give depth to the card, although, the image is perfect without the additional poinsettia's.  The poinsettia's, leaves, and pot are colored with Copics.  The bow and sentiment are from Anna Griffith.

Our challenge theme this month is Anything Goes so hop on over to Pattie's Creations Design Challenge to see what the design team have created for your inspiration. 

Have a great month and Thanksgiving.

Mallard's - Masculine Card

With fall rapidly approaching and 3 male birthdays coming up I decided to make some masculine cards.  Duck hunting comes with fall so I chose this stamp, "Mallards", from Pattie's Creations.  It's clean and simple with no fuss.

The challenge this September is Anything Goes.

The image was colored with Copics and the paper is from my stash.  Lord knows I have more stash than I know what to do with but can't bear to get rid of any of it.....

Have a blessed month and we hope to see you playing along at Pattie's Creations.

Three Fishing Mice

I'm back to taking classes from Alyce at Kit and Clowder.  This class is June 2019 and the digi stamp is from Di's Digi Stamps named "3 Fishing Mice".  I have to really like an image to feel like I want to color it and I fell in love with these adorable mice.  The classes cover so many different techniques, that like the image or not, it's the techniques that are important that you learn from each class.  This image is colored with Copics and made into a card.

Frolicking Frosty


Frolicking Frosty is skating thru the snow and ice to meet his sweetie. Notice that big grin on his face. I just love this image that is from Heartfelt Creations as is the sentiment and background stamps with matching dies from the Frolicking Frosty Collection.  You can barely see the glittery snow on Frosty, the snowflakes and the snow but it is showing up some.

Reindeer Christmas


Adding to my Christmas card stash with this adorable stamped reindeer and sled from Heartfelt Creations Merry Little Christmas Collection.  It was colored with chalk inks as was the poinsettia.  Lots of glitter was added to give it that wintery look.  Too bad the glitter and shine isn't showing up.

Kissin' Xmas


     Hi Everyone,  Here I am with another Christmas Card for my list.   I thought this adorable image from LOTV was something I just had to color.   Things seem to be rolling along pretty good and I'm back to taking coloring lessons from Alyce at Kit and Clowder.  It's like starting all over when you haven't colored for so long.  I have all my lessons from the past several years and they are so helpful.      I have a ways to go though before I'm back to where I was 3 years ago but I'm enjoying the challenge.

Under The Sea Treasure



The challenge and theme this month at Pattie's Creations Challenge Blog is #173, Beach/Under the Sea.  You don't have to use one of Pattie's images but we love it when you do and you can find them here!

Our challenge starts on the first Friday of the month, August 7, and ends Thursday, September 3, 2020, at 1:00 pm EST.  Hope to see your lovely creations in our gallery. Remember, only 3 entries per person.

I used Copics to color the image, added Stickles, Liquid Pearls, and Liquid Gold for the gems and coins.  Colored the background with Distress Inks and added sand to the bottom of the sea.  The paper is from my stash and I have no idea where it came from. The flowers on the card are made by me and are also from my stash.
Be sure to hop on over to Pattie's Creations to see what amazing creations the design team have to share with you.  Also, be sure and pick up the freebie from Pattie.
