Peachy Keen GD Week, Day 5 - Purple Joy


Hello Everyone & Happy Friday!
Unfortunately this is my last day as a Peachy Keen GD. I wanted to thank all of you for leaving me the kindest comments here and on the Peachy Keen blog as well as all the support. It made me really feel special! Thank you also to the fabulous Peachy Keen DT and Kathy the owner of PK for this wonderful opportunity! Thank you ALL!

My card for today is a bit different from the ones I posted during the week so far. It's in a more clean & simple style and this time I  used Distress Inks for coloring. 

It's again that sweet bird stamp "Happy Bird and phrases". The sentiment I used is one of the phrases that come with the stamp. I stamped the image onto 300g / 140lb hot press water color paper using Archival Ink - Jet Black. Then I colored using Distress Inks (Milled Lavender, Concord Grape, Weathered Wood, Rusty Hinges - Walnut Stain to deepen the shadows) and also Twinkling H2O's on the belly for some shimmer effect. DP is from Prima.



 For decorating my card I only used a satin ribbon and some rhinestones.


Don't forget to enter my Peachy Keen candy right HERE today is your last chance. I'll randomly pick the winner tomorrow!

Peachy Keen is also having a new release blog hop starting today at 12noon CST HERE. Don't miss your chance to see all the new stuff and the chance to win some awesome prizes.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Peachy Keen GD Week, Day 4 - Swim Time


Hello all and welcome to Day 4 of my Peachy Keen GD week!  Ok going from Christmas right back to Summer where we belong :-) My project today shows Lulee's Swim Time (PK-780 Lulee's Swim Time) on a fancy fold card.

Again I colored Lulee with my Copics and on her fins I used the feather blending technique. I also received a few emails asking what paper and ink I use. When coloring with Copics I always use Memento dye ink pads for stamping the image. And as far as it comes to the paper for coloring with Copics: Curious Metallic Cryogen White is my all time favorite. Papers are from Scrapbook.com 'Softly Summer 2' collection. Flowers are from my stash and punches and dies used are from MS, Spellbinders and Marianne Design. I also like to use spacers with the brads when using them as flower centers. Makes them more pop.

Close-up on the image:

As I mentioned above this is a fancy fold card. I used a little velcro dot to hold it shut.

The inside is barely decorated to keep the card flat and it closes more easily.


Materials used:

Stamp:  PK-780 Lulee's Swim Time
Designer Paper: Scrapbook.com - Digi Papers Softly Summer 2
Coloring: Copics & Prisma pencils
Flowers: Prima
Dies and Punches: Spellbinders, Martha Stewart, Marianne Design (Dutch Paper Crafts)
Embellishments: Button, pearls, brads, Stickles, glitter, ribbon slider

Thanks so much for taking the time and dropping buy today!

Peachy Keen GD Week, Day 2


Hello Everyone and Happy Tuesday! Today is my second Peachy Keen GD day. First I want to say a huge thank you to all of you who left me such nice and lovely comments yesterday! You guys really made my day! :-D

Today it's challenge day at Peachy Keen Challenges, a sketch challenge with a twist! To read all details about the challenge and how to enter please click HERE

Onto my my challenge creation now for which I used my absolutely favorite stamp from PK 'Sleeping Teddy' When I first saw this cutie I fell instantly in love with him...LOL. 

I colored again with Copics and Prismas. The DP I used is from Echo Park, For the Record collection. The decorative corner is cut out with a Marianne Design die. I used kraft cardstock and sponged it with Walnut Stain Distress Ink (that's also the 'twist' on the sketch challenge!). For some bling I've added Stickles to the corner and on the image as well as the flowers. Brad and rhinestone swirls are from Recollections.

Here is a close-up on the image...
