Blue roses?

I'm not sure if there's such a thing as blue roses, but I wanted to try a blue combo for flowers.  It was freezing outside again today, so it was nice to have the day off and stay inside and color.  I colored these roses from Thetonstamps.com with Copic markers and the sentiment is from Averyelle.com.  I added a few sequins from prettypinkposh.com and the card is done.

 

Here are the Copic markers I used:

I think the blue is striking, even if blue roses don't exist.  I'll definitely be using another blue combo on future cards.  Hope it inspires you to do a little coloring.

More roses

Here is another card using a stamp set from Thetonstamps.com.  I planned on entering this one into the Color Throwdown challenge, but thought the deadline was later tonight -- oops!  I guess there's always next week.  I like the gray, yellow and orange combination.  I colored the roses using Copic markers and the sentiment is from creativetimeforme.com.  I added a few sequins to finish the card.

Here are the Copics I used:

 

It's nice to stay inside and color pretty roses when it's so cold outside!  Hope you like the card!

Valentine Card

Quick and easy card -- I made this card this weekend using the Kiss Kiss stamp set from rightathomeshop.com.  Smaller hearts are from wplus9.com, sequins from prettypinkposh.com and sparkle from a Wink of Stella pen.

Here's a Valentine's Day card I made using the Kiss Kiss stamp set from rightathomeshop.com and heart dies from My Favorite Things.  The sayings for the candy hearts are cute and remind me of exchanging Valentine's Day cards in school many years ago.  Many possibilities with this stamp set.  The picture is a little gray; the card is much brighter.  Have a great day!

Rose-y Valentine

Happy Monday!  I made this card yesterday and used the roses from the Modern Blooms stamp set from thetonstamps.com.  Sitting and coloring flowers is so relaxing to me and gives me more practice with Copic coloring.  I also love the pretty font from the Kiss Kiss stamp set from Rightathomeshop.com.  I finished the card off with some hearts from a wplus9.com stamp set and some sequins from prettypinkposh.com.  Hope you like it!

Pretty roses

I love this stamp set I got for Christmas from Thetonstamps.com!  A little coloring, a few embellishments and you have a beautiful card.  Sentiment is from a Simonsaysstamp set.

Well, here goes.  I have wanted to start a blog for some time to share my handmade cards.  I have gotten inspiration from other cardmakers' blogs, and I hope to inspire others as well.  I started scrapbooking years ago, then became interested in making my own cards and have been obsessed with paper, stamps and dies ever since.  It is a very relaxing hobby and keeps the creative juices flowing.  I hope you enjoy what you see (once I figure out how to post a picture)!
