The Perfect Pair

I have two wonderful boys prancing around my house everyday.  When i saw this image on Mo's Digital Pencil I had to have it!!  Well a coworker saw it, and she thought it was just as cute as I did.  This card is for her daughter.  It is colored with my Spectrum Noirs.  The image is cut out with a spellbinders die.  The card is cut with my Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge.

Pink bows and buttons

Another cute stamp by Sylvia Zet and Wee Stamps today.  I colored it with my spectrum noirs.  The image was cut with a spellbinders die.  The card was cut with my Art Philosophy cricut cart and embossed with my cuttlebug.  Finished off with bakers twine and buttons.  So cute!!!

Just Glowing

I LOVE this stamp by Sylvia Zet and Wee Stamps, her name is Peggy.  I have colored her with my Spectrum Noir pens, and I really like how she has turned out.  I saw someone on another blog use yellow to highlight their image, and I thought the effect was stunning.  Unfortunately I cant remember whose blog that was, because her work was beautiful.  Anyway, I really like the end result here too.  She is one of my favorites, I think...  The flowers are again from my Art Philosophy cartridge.  The card base is also from the same cart.  I used my spellbinders to cut out the image and her mat.

Thinking of You

I a card this weekend for my uncle who is in the hospital after surgery for colon cancer.  He also happens to have a totally unrelated 2nd cancer, lymphoma that he will have to battle simultaneously.  And to top it off, his wife had surgery this week, too!  It is a tough time for them and I just want them to know they are on my mind and in my prayers...

I used some papers from a Walmart stack, inks from CTMH, a chipboard shape from CTMH, and matching cutout from Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge.  Hemp tie to finish it off...
