Pixie Get Well Soon

   
     I have been practicing with my Copics and just had to share this adorable digital stamp from Pixie Dust Stamps. Isn't she just adorable? This was a freebie Pixie gave to her Face Book Fans last week and I have been itching to work with her. I thought this would make a great Get Well card for a little girl.

     I still have some work to do to get my facial tones correct but I love how the hair came out. Since I have hazel eyes I just had to try them on this cute little Pixie. I also used some smooch for the cute little nose! Here are the colors I used:

Hair: E000,E00,E01,E13
Cheeks:  R20
Hair: E31, E35, E37
Eyes: G20, G21, G24, G28
Slippers: Ears R20, R22, R24 Slippers: C0, CO1,C3
Blanket: same as bunny ears
Nightie: V12, V15, V17
Teddy Bear: E11, E13, E17, E18
     The stamp sentiment is from Inkadinkado "Just Saying". I usually use papers from my stash ( which I did here) however I just had to get this chevron paper from Recollections @ Michaels the other day. I love how cheery this card came out.
     You can find some awesome Digital stamps @ http://www.pixieduststudio.net/. These stamps are so reasonable and great to use with your Copics.
     I encourage you to become a fan on her page Here. She has just created a wonderful Pixie in honor of the Olympics. Sorry if I sound like a cheerleader for Pixie but I have searched a long time to find images to suit my style and I am in love with these digis! Just wait 'til you see what else I have been coloring!
     Please leave me a comment if you love these stamps as much as I do.

Chicken Soup To Get Well

     Welcome all my new crafty friends! I am so glad you stopped by. Today I am going to show you a quick Get Well card using The Greeting Cards Inside Out for the Imagine. I love all the great images on this cartridge and love using my Imagine. I also used the Elegant Edges cart as well as the paper palettes from Mystical Garden  and Santas Village cartridges to make this card. So lets get started.

     The chicken image is on page 19 on the Greetings cart and is cut @ 2.25". Next I used the spoon image that you can find in From My Kitchen on page 43 @1.25". I used a gold metallic paper for the spoon to make it stand out. Now to work on the background.

     I wanted a real rustic look for this card so the image would really show up so I decided to use the pattern paper from the Imagine cart Mystical Gardens found on page 4. I love this gold paper because it reminds me of chicken wire. I used the Elegant Edges shape on page 34 oblong shadow cut @ 4.75" to create the background shape. The frame was also from EE found on page 35 @ 4.54". I found the brown palette on Santas Village Imagine cart worked wonderful with these papers.

     After some inking with Walnut stain and Gathered Twigs distress inks, it was time to put it all together. My base card was from My Minds Eye-Out and About cards so all I had left to do was adhere the base and frame to the card, add some pop dots to the image and some brown bakers twine. I also had a chance to use some Candi "brads". These little embellishments are so neat. Believe it or not they are made from paper! They are light weight so are easy to mail and, unlike real brads, they are adhered with pop dots. Look for more projects with these little "gems". If you like to purchase some, you can find them in Erica's store; http://www.shop.ericascraftroom.com/
