Canvas Featuring Riley Mixed Media Doll from Prima


Happy Saturday,

I hope all that celebrated Thanksgiving had a wonderful day! I sure did my son and his wife came to visit. It is so nice to have them here even if it is for a short period of time.

Today I would like to share with you my vintage canvas. I decided to use a Prima Doll Stamp. I think my friend Kelly would like me to use some other stamps. I believe I have worn them out. LOL!

Well enjoy the rest of your weekend! Thanks for coming by to peek at my project. The supplies you can purchase below are in the store. If you get a chance check out her tights I stamp them on lace.....

A Christmas Tag

Hello Inky Fans,

I stamped my image with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and color her with Copic Markers. The flowers were colored with a gold spica pen and for the centers and the earrings. I used Liquid Pearls -Platinum.

Skin E50, 51, 53
Hair E40,42,44,47
Clothes E41, 42, 43, 44, 47

I used the new paper from Authentic Glistening, Memory Box Die Winterland and Memory Box Sentiment Merry Christmas, I used tulle for the bow and I used the Magnolia Doo Hickey Die - Cozy Snowflake. Of course I added some bling and a star to the tree. I hope I have inspired you today to try something new!

Have a great weekend!

A Baby Shower

Good Morning,

Today I would like to share this sweet baby card I made for a shower in a couple of weeks. I love this stork -  just too stink'n cute. I wanted to give it a Shabby Chic look. I colored the stork and babies head and foot with Copic Markers and then paper pieced the scarf, blanket and foot coverings.  I inked the edges of all my paper and for the final touches added lace and bling. Gotta love that bling!

Bezel Necklaces

Good Afternoon,

I hope everyone is having a great week. Today I would like to share the bezel necklaces I made. It very hard to see all the detail especially the smallest one. I used Maja Christmas paper, Prima paper, and Graphic 45 paper. I chose a piece of the paper that had an image I could use to create my design. You can't see it on the Santa Claus but he has fine glitter on his beard, fur on the had and sleeves of his jacket.

Before I sign off I would like to congratulate Cathy-Lynn Tkalcevic for winning my Halloween Candy. Cathy-Lynn please contact me via email k_l_gauthier@yahoo.com.

Have a great week!

A Little Peek at Christmas

Good Morning Inky Fans,

Today I would like share a Christmas card showcasing Delilah's Ducky Christmas. I have used many different products on this card instead of many embellishments. I stamped my image on Cryogen paper with Tuxedo Memento ink. I colored the image with Copic Markers Y11,Y13,Y15,Y17, G94,G99, R000. R01, R02, R37, R39,BG10, B21,Y26 and Spica pens gold and pink. To accent my design I used red and orange flocking, silver and white flower soft, snowwriter with fine white glitter and liquid pearls red/pearl. And lastly, my favorite Shabby White Frantage.

The paper is from Memory box, sentiment is from Inky Impressions, and I added some beautiful white trim and bow to finish my design. I hope I have inspired you to create a card today! Have a great weekend!

Karen
