PDD Wed/Your Special

Ive included lots of pictures to show how I made this card!!! Hope you enjoy !! First: I used crackle paints to make my background border.
I started with the antique linen,and the vintage photo. The bronze I used after.

You will want to dabb around the edges using both colors at the same time


This is super easy and gives a real pretty look to the paper.
Last I added the bronze .
In this picture you can see it real good.




Now for the flowers. I used the antique bronze crackle paint on them too.

In this picture I just wanted to show you what the flowers look like before I started. (the bottom 2 are not done here in this pic)


Now to add some shimmer to the dp. I used forever red on the dp, and perfect bronze on the outside dp that I made.

You can see how much water I used on the little bit of perfect pearls. This was enough to do the border.


And here is another picture showing what the dp looks like after I added the red just to different areas. I didnt use it all over the dp.
You can see both in this picture too.

And here is my card all done!!!

Thank you for looking and have a wonderful day!!!

SNS DT Call/Copic tutorial for this darling Bunny!!

This is one of the cards Ive designed for the SNS DT Call!! I love this bunny and have posted other cards before on my blog with her:) she is too sweet:)
Im sooo excited about this call, Ive waited to apply again to SNS Stamps, she has some darling stamps !!! Wish me luck:)

Anyways I know Ive had a few ask me on my colors for the teddybears and so forth. So I thought I would show you my little technique for getting this look:) Hope you enjoy!!!
First I did an outline with my E77 Maroon copic.

Next I went ahead and did another with E37 Sepia. I then filled in the rest of the blank area with E57 Light walnut. Like shown below!!


I then took my colorless blender and blended everything well!! You can see the results in the picture below.


Now I went over the image with E33 Sand. I love the look it gives after. It kinda fills in, but also gives a real pretty look, and these pictures dont show the detail like what I see in person:) So I hope you like this:)
I then added a RV21 Light pink for the ear, and nose. I used a gel pen for the dots on the puffy cheeks, and then used the colorless blender very lightly to remove some color for the cheeks.

This is completed and cut out!! That is why I didnt worry about going outside the lines:) LOL
Here is my card all done!! I did use my Hello kitty Sizzix die for the swirls and flowers( I used perfect pearls on the swirls)Im soooo addicted to these now:). I also added a little felt flower ( I have a lovely tin full of these)that was given to me by Linda!!! Thank you sweetie:) I also added 2 gems to the centers.

Thank you for looking and have a wonderful day!!!
Hugs,
Cheryl
