Hanglar Girl With String Of Hearts

Hello are you enjoying you Sunday? I have so much laundry to wash I don't think I will see the bottom of the hampers today! Well I did manage to get a card whipped up to share today. This Hanglar Image I have no idea what she is called, I just identify her as girl with string of hearts!



I colored her with Distress Inks, My papers are from Maja Design, I love these with the rose prints really lovely!! My flowers are from IamRoses,just added a couple I didn't want to cover up these pretty papers!



My sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps, These Party Mini Letter Seals have stole my heart!! I added platinum stickles all around the edges of my papers for a pretty glittery look!!





Thanks for peeking in!!

Happiness is in the Little Things

Hello there's still time to enter the monthly challenge over at Sundays With Crissy. This month it's Distress. I distressed all the edges of my Design Papers including my image. Then I went over with distress ink for a darker look.



My image is from the set Darling Daisies, available at Whimsy Stamps illustrated by Crissy Armstrong. I colored my image with Copic markers. Not too much on my card, just a couple flowers,ribbon and this circle sentiment also from Whimsy you can get them HERE.



There's still time to enter this months challenge at Sundays With Crissy to win 5 free digis. Thanks for peeking in and enjoy your Friday!!

Victory Kid

Hello it's my turn to post on the OCS Blog. I want to share this card I made in no time, well the coloring did take me a bit longer to make but the putting together didn't. I colored it with Distress reinkers, I let my card quite flat, no dimensions, no flowers and no ribbon. This is very rare for me to leave a card this plain but I think once in a while its ok!



My image is Victory Kid, from Whimsy Stamps by Kenny K. If you are in the Canada Area, you can acquire this stamp from OCS online store, Lora has really fast shipping!My sentiment, you are probably familiar with, it's from whimsy stamps by Raindrop Echo Designs. These are also available with Lora at OCS online store. Thanks for peeking in and I hope you are enjoying your day!!

This stamp is very versatile, you can jut add your own sentiment and you have a Birthday, Hello, or anything you want card. If you like Elleen then you will like the many stamps available with her!



I colored Elleen with copic markers, My flowers are from IamRoses and I gave them the stickles treatment, lots of glitter on them!! I hope you have a wonderful day, my little boy and my daughter started swimming lessons and they started yesterday, I have to get them ready for today's lesson!!
