Custom Card Monday...err.. Tuesday! Lavender Baby

It's a brand new week, which means a new custom card!  I didn't post it yesterday as my design team post for Lia Stampz was yesterday. :)

I had someone on Etsy ask me to make one of the cards I had in my shop, but purple. I blogged about the original in this post. So instead of pink, I made it purple!

The digi is called Baby Girl and it is by Lia Stampz (you can get it on Whimsy).  I colored it with Copics and added some Dazzling Diamonds.  The paper is from DCWV Vintage Flora. I added some Stampin Up cardstock, ribbon, and baker's twine.  Also backed the image with a paper doily.

New Challenge at Scribbles! Say It With a Sentiment!

Its June 15! Time for some new design team projects! We've got a new challenge over at Scribbles Designs!  This month, our theme is "Say It With a Sentiment."  Here's my project:

The digi I used is called You Brighten.  I had a sheet of this lightbulb paper and thought it would be perfect!  All I did was mat the image and colored the bulb simply with Copic markers.  Added some Crystal Effects to make it look like glass, and I was done!

You don't need a Scribbles image to play, but if you do use a Scribbles image, however, you can enter as many times as you wish.  Go here to play with us!

Custom Card Monday - A 21st Birthday at the Casino!

I had someone contact me on Etsy asking for a custom card for their nephew who was turning 21.  They were going to give him a gift card that he could use at a casino.  Here's what I came up with:

The digi is by Kenny K and I colored her with Copics.  I added some paper from DCWV Guy Stack.  The cards are an embossing folder from Tim Holtz.  I added some green distressing.  The poker chips are from some retired Stampin Up paper and I just punched them out and popped them up.  Added some linen thread and a distressed birthday banner.

Inside was simple space for the gift card.  Just added more of that retired SU paper and created a little pocket.  Also has a little room for writing!

Custom Card Monday - Indian Wedding

I'm actually a little embarrassed to even show this card because it has a date on it!  It shows how behind I am in posting cards here on my blog! (Feburary 2013... eep!) But, I guess that is why I created Custom Card Mondays... so I could catch up and get these all posted!

This one came in from Etsy and the buyer wanted a wedding card that matched the bride and the groom, who were having a traditional Indian wedding:

The stamp is from The Greeting Farm.  Colored the couple with Copics and tried to get them in traditional dress (thats why I love this stamp... you can customize it to the wedding!) The gold cardstock is from Stampin Up. I colored the Stampin Up pearls with gold Sharpie and used a gold gel pen for the finishes.  The paper is from Deja Views home collection.

Midway through Let Them Eat Cake!

Its May 31! We're halfway through our challenge over at Scribbles Designs!  This month, our theme is "Let Them Eat Cake."  We have a color theme and you need to depict something edible as well.  Here's the theme:

Here's my project:

My "edible" for this challenge is the digi from Scribbles called Birthday Cake (its a freebie up on the blog)!  Colored it simply with Copics.  Popped it up on some die cuts and layered that on top of some glittered card stock from DCWV Glitter Sweet stack.  Cardstock, ribbon, and punches are Stampin Up.  The sentiment is from Impression Obsession. You can put words together to create your own sentiment. :) Added one little Robin's Nest Dew Drop. And the sequins are from our very own Calypso's Etsy shop!  They're so amazing :)

You don't need a Scribbles image to play, but if you do use a Scribbles image, however, you can enter as many times as you wish.  Go here to play with us!
