No Problama Llama!


This sweet image from Tiddly Inks was absolutely perfect for my granddaughter Emily's birthday card! She loves everything llama....her room has llama pictures, ceramic llamas, fuzzy llamas & even llama bedding! She is such a llama fanatic that the coach & players on her hockey team actually call her "Llama"! You can hear them yelling from the bench "Go Llama Go"

The image is coloured with copic markers. I also used copics to make some yellow, orange & red striped paper to die cut the 12, stars & happy birthday from. The die cuts were then coated with glossy accents. A couple of orange hearts finished things off nicely!

Dies used: stars, happy birthday & clouds are Memory Box
                  12 is Recollections

Live, Love, Laugh


I had so much fun trying this new technique (new for me anyway) Alcohol inks, blending solution & a can of air....who knew it would create something so beautiful! So, this is Yupo paper & I added a few drops of yellow ink in the center then let it dry. Next I added colours one at a time with a drop of blending solution & then "blew" on the wet ink with the compressed air. I really LOVE this effect! So of course I had to turn it into a card. Next step...die cuts, a daisy by Memory Box & the live, love, laugh by Recollections cut from white cardstock & coated with glossy accents. I will definitely be doing this again!

Cactus Cuties


Aren't these little cacti & their smiling pots adorable! They are cling mounted rubber stamps from Darcie's Heart & Home. I thought they made the perfect anniversary card with the cute saying from another Darcie's set. They are coloured with copic markers, the pearls are from Stampin Up & the paper is from my stash. Cute & simple....love it!

Happy 105th Birthday Millie!

                                                                     


Bet there aren't too many of you out there who have been asked to make a card for 105th birthday!This card is flying off to Dublin, Ireland with my friend Deirdre to help her Aunt Millie celebrate her big day. I wish her a wonderful day full of love & laughter....& of course cake!                                 

The image I used was a free digital stamp from Kit & Clowder just for signing up for their news letter. I coloured it with copic markers. The beautiful paper is Bo Bunny, Once Upon a Lifetime, Happy Birthday die is Memory Box, flower ribbon & gems are from my stash. I die cut the 105 & used Glossy Accents to make it nice & shiny.                                                                                    

Thanks for taking a look....Hugs, Renee
