Saturday Fun

I had a great time attending a crop and teaching a Copic class today. The ladies were excellent students, eager and quick to learn. Thanks, Bettye, for including me. Reada, Carol, Cathy, and Bettye, you did really well today!

Here is one of the cards I shared with them. I am going to enter it in the 7 Kids College Fund Easter/Spring Challenge.

Here is a close-up of Tilda with Hawaiian Flower.

Christmas Eve

       Merry Christmas to my Family and Friends!

Autumn Greetings

I thought I would show you another older Magnolia card I made last year. This card has a great deal going on. It has two folds, a tie closure, paper piecing, and layering of stamped images. I colored the images with Prismacolor markers (before I owned Copics). Prismacolor markers are alcohol markers like Copics. The major differences for me are the blend-ability (Prismacolors take a little more effort) and the lack of skin tones in the Prismacolors. This card also has 3-D embellishments, stickers, and Nestabilities shapes. The papers I used are Flair Designs, Bo Bunny, and cardstock. The images were stamped on Neenah paper with Memento tuxedo black ink.

 I hope you have a great day! Thanks for stopping by. LC

What is Liquid Applique?

Since my last post I have had questions about Liquid Applique. It is a thick liquid in a tube made by Marvy Uchida. It comes in colors in addition to the white I used to make the popcorn on yesterday's card. The side of the tube reads, "For Embroidery and 3D Effects on Fabric and Paper". I first learned about Liquid Applique last year when I saw it used on cards as a snow effect.

I made this card last year and put Liquid Applique on the fence. Please excuse the quality of the photo; I scanned this card instead of photographing it. That was before I got the camera I now use.

I am thinking I would like to try Liquid Applique in other colors...maybe pink to use as icing on a cupcake or create blue cloud. Let me know if you decide to give it a try. Thanks for stopping by. LC

Happy 4th of July!

In celebration of July 4th........

 I used a Magnolia stamp for this card and colored it with Copic markers. I wanted Edwin to have his own 'Old Navy' celebration t-shirt so I cut out the circle with stars from a patterned paper (Scenic Route) and adhered it to the shirt. The flag is made from clay with a toothpick for the pole. I used a Spellbinders-Nestabilities for the scalloped oval. The pattern papers are Flair Designs and Scenic Route. The USA is from Lil Davis.

To make this card I used a House Mouse stamp. After I colored the image with Copic markers I covered the icing with red Stickles. I added a bit of Stickles to the bottom of the image where the sprinkles would fall and on the mouse's mouth. The dark pattern paper is Flair Designs.

I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday!
