Goth Boy with a Blue vest

How is your Monday going? For me today seemed to go so fast, by the time I was able to sit down with a cuppa it was late in the afternoon. Never a dull moment that's for sure. I hope your day is going well.
My card today uses a Digi Stamp from Spesch stamps called Goth boy with a ring it is quite a quick card to put together.

Here it is:

I have made a couple of cards using this character, this is the first. I'll post my others at a later time.

I used a sheet of Design Paper from My Minds Eye - Miss Caroline - Howdy Doody.

The Blue tag is from  a sheet of Design Paper from the Kaiser Craft 6" x 6" paper pad called "Tea at Elsie's Collection".

On top of the tag I used some gold mirri card which I cut and embossed with Spellbinders Label Twenty Three S4-347.
The sentiment was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa Ink pad using JustRite Stamp set - "Spring Words" - CR-03640.

I hand wrote the word "Wicked" onto the MME Design Paper.

I printed the image onto smooth white card and coloured it with my Copics:

Hair & Bracelet: E13, E15, E17

Skin: E50, E51, E11

Shirt: B34, B95, B000

Fireman Luka Card

Hello, I hope your Sunday is going well. My (hush hush) commission card was picked up today and was very warmly received which all bodes well for the eventual receiver.
My card today uses another La La Land stamp that is a particular favourite of mine - Fireman Luka.

Here it is:

On a white card stock  base I added a piece of teal design paper from HOTP, on top of that I added a striped sheet from Crafter's Block 1.

I cut a strip of the teal paper and used a Martha Stewart Deco Fan punch on the edge of a piece of check patterned yellow design paper also from Crafter's Block1 which I then adhered to the strip of teal paper. This strip was then stuck to the card base (slightly to the right of the card).

I printed my Fireman Luka Digi stamp onto white Neenah Solar card stock and coloured him with a variety of Copics, Prisma Color pencils and a clear and gold spica pens. I then cut him out.

Here is a closer image of Luka,

Having cut Luka out, I layered him on rectangles of teal, gold and teal patterned paper from my stash and used a corner punch (on my Clevercut 5-in-1 paper trimmer) to round off the corners.

I glued a piece of "Bayleaf" seam binding to the card before mounting my Luka medallion using foam pads to the card base too.

Lastly I cut and layered 2 sets of stars from Red, Teal and Gold card stock, and on top placed a single pearl cut from a pearl ribbon strand.

The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from JustRite stampers - Fleur De Lis Labels Twenty - CL-02210, stamped onto a piece of patterned paper layered on silver Mirri card.

Cupcake Marci Card

Thanks for stopping by to read my blog today. I hope all is well with you.

My card today is another La La Land Digital stamp and one I particularly enjoyed colouring with my Copcs.

Let me show you my card and then I'll describe how I put it together.

I printed my Sugar ‘n’ Spice Marci Digi onto White Neenah Solar card, and used the same card to stamp a background  layer using JustRite Stamps Kindness CL-02095 and Ink Pad: Encore Ultimate Metallic Ink pad “Honeydew”.

I also used the Flourishes Mother of Wisdom stamp set for the words on my card, I stamped this with a Memento Rich Cocoa ink pad.

I used Spellbinders Labels Twenty-Five S7-077 to cut out and emboss the layer behind Marci. I also cut and embossed the sentiment from Flourishes with Spellbinders Labels Twenty S5-026, when still in the die I added Copics B0000 around the edges to add a highlight.

Her's a closer view of Marci; I coloured her with my Copics:

Skin: E50, E51, E11.

Dress and shoes: R20, R27, W1, W3,

Heart on cake: R29, R27

Hair ribbon: R20

White dots: Molotow Marker

Spoon & cupcake base, E17, W1, W3 (The wooden spoon looks red in the photo, it is actually a brown colour)

Icing on cake: Y00, Y11

Apron: G0000, YG61

The Design Paper I used was from Crafers Block 1, which I layered on a piece of brick red and Olive green paper from a HOTP paper pad I had in my stash, all layered onto my card base. The happy Birthday sentiment is stamped with Memento Black Tuxedo ink pad, the "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from the JustRite Fleur De Lis Twenty stamp set Cl 02210, and adhered onto a small piece of patterned paper layered on silver Mirri card. The ribbon is from my stash.

Cody's Balloon Card

Hello, how are you today? Today I had a special request to make a card for a neighbour's husband's Birthday. Yikes a commission!! Double Yikes a card for a man!!!!
The brief was this; it needed to be a red and black card, I cannot say any more at the moment, as his Birthday is on the 11th July and it will need to remain a secret until then. I will show it to you after he has received it.

My card today uses a Digi stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil that I really love, it is called Cody's Balloon.
Here's my card.

This card seemed to come together really nicely. I began by printing out the image on smooth white card stock, I coloured it with a mixture of Copics and Prisma Color Pencils, in a few places I used a clear Spica pen to add a little glimmer.
Copics:

Skin: E50, E51, E11

Balloon, R29, R27, R29, R89

Dungarees: B34, B95, B000

Shirt/jumper/shoes: Prisma Pencils

Hair: E13, E15, E17

I cut out the image using Spellbinders Label Twenty-Two S4 - 346, I used the "out of die" technique so that the red balloon wasn't "cut off" from the rest of the image. I also used a light blue piece of DCWV neutral mat stock card stock and traced around the outside of the metal die itself to create a smaller incremental matting layer.

I used this same light blue card stock with Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two S5-030 then fussy cut a piece of white card stock and adhered this on top. I fished this off by adding a silver Peel Off "Happy Birthday" sentiment and a couple of Kaiser Craft Denim blue pearls.

I used the light blue card stock to create a matted layer on top of my card base, then adding a piece of lined patterned design paper on top (from my stash) then I cut a strip of light blue gingham design paper (also from my stash), layered it on the same light blue card stock, and stuck this to the middle of the card.

All I needed to do to finish my card, was to place the tag and image in place with foam pads to give the images some dimension.

Here is a closer view of the Tag and the coloured image Cody chasing his balloon.
