Happy Wednesday . . .

Well, I am posting again.  If you have been visiting regularly, you will notice that my site looks different AGAIN.  I finally did it!!!!   I managed to get my slide show to work and I figured out how to add fun gadgets.  Man, what a learning curve. 

If you don't mind, I would like to show you another card that I made for my sister.  I thought she could use a happy thought after her son got married.  Life changes so very fast, kids grow up and we just keep getting older.  I hate that . . .

For this card, I used Copic pens to color the little girl and flowers.  This stamp is from Lilly of the Valley.  I love their stamps.  I then added beads for the necklace and bracelet.  For the flowers, I double stamped and colored it.  I then  added it with a pop dot and bent the top layer up to give it a 3-D affect and glazed it with "glossy affects".  I also used the "glossy affects" to adhere a bead inside each flower. ( I only had white pearls and so I colored them with one of my Copic pens to give me the look I wanted.)  By glazing the flowers it made them stiff and formable.  Once dry they hold their shape really well.  I wanted a flower to decorate it with, and wanted it to match the girl, sooooo I had some white flowers and then I used my airbrush (love that thing) and Copic pens to color 3 layers and then put them together with a nice glittery brad.

For the inside of the card I used the same paper and layered them and added a couple of stamps.  I would show you, except that I had already written in it and think I should keep that private. 

Well, this is all I have for now.  I have some new pens coming tomorrow.  I am really excited and am looking forward to using them and sharing my results with you.  Sooooo, until next time.....
