OWH-Barnyard mid week throwdown #2

Here is another cow image. This one was also in the box that I mailed 2 days ago. I have no idea who makes the stamp. Just another image from my stash. I colored with Copic markers. Bugaboostamps  is sponsoring this challenge for OWH.

OWH-Barnyard challenge

I have been coloring a lot of images from my stash. This is one of them. I won't swear to it but I think it is a Penny Black image from a friends collection of stamps. Colored with Copics. The word art is from Create With TLC. The sentiment says "I've got happy feet".

I have some more images for this challenge at Operation Write Home. The sponser is Bugaboostamps and the winner will get some free images. I have lots of Bugaboo images and I love them. Last month they had 60% off all images and I dropped a good amount of money there.

Be my Valentine

I just finished scanning what felt like a million cards. This is the only one I have watermarked so this is the one I will post.

 I went to the Dr on Friday and got a prescription for Sudafed. In Oregon you can't buy it over the counter. Oregon decided it wanted to stop the little homegrown guys from cooking meth. Instead all the dopers get the stuff that is made by the gangs in Mexico. Some trade off. Anyway, my ears are still stuffed up. Sounds like I am listening through water. Still feeling crummy even though I am not technically sick.

This is a card made with a piece of clip art. I glossed up the berries with Diamond Glaze and they look real tasty. Very simple but it works for me.

OWH-Happy frosting day.

I made 4 each of these versions of this card. The image was a freebie digital image I got from Paper Craft Planet. It was called Winter Cake but I didn't save the name of the group offering it. The sentiment was from Create With TLC.  I colored the image with Copic Markers using the same colors for all 3 images. The background paper is the icing design for DCWV 12" Snack pad. I love this pad  and I have several cards in mind to make with it. It has ice cream, berries, truffles, all kinds of yummy vivid food images.

I have been a little under the weather the last few days. Both of my ears are stuffed up. I started taking an OTC decongestant last night and I hope that helps. If not I will call Dr. on Monday.

I need to get a card ready for an upcoming blog hop. I have also been working on some Valentines cards.

Three blind mice

I made this card for my grand daughter Erica. She will be 18 in a few days. I still enjoy talking about when I took care of her everyday up until she started kindergarten. I feel very close to her. She is a senior in high school and will be starting school in the Fall at the community college. Because her mother works there her tuition will be free. She will transfer her credits to a 4 year school later. Need I say, she is smart and excels at school. Very active in Girl Scouts and does a lot of community service with them. And she is also beautiful of course.  lol

I have been wanting to use this very bold paper that my Angie gave me. Erica loves black so it works well for her card. The digital image is from Hambo stamps. I bought several of their fun images a few days ago. I colored with Copics. Added Diamond Glaze to the cupcake and Spica glitter pens to the hats. I fastened the ribbon with my Tim Holtz tiny stapler.

Happy Birthday Candice

I made this card for my oldest daughter. She will be 54 in a week. Okay, I know that is older than a lot of you. I had her when I was 15.

The digital image is from Hambo Stamps. They have such fun stuff. I colored it with Copics. The word art is from Create With TLC

This is my first time to put links in my post. It worked very nicely with printed out directions from Melisa. Thank you Melisa!

Bugaboo images.

My youngest daughter Sammy is here from out of town. She lives about 4 hours from here. She came to visit her mummy for the day. She asked me to make a card for her friend. She didn't want the image colored so I complied. The images are some from Bugaboo that have the skulls. Pretty cute but not to everyones taste. I put Diamond glaze on the skulls to make them pop.

OWH- Sweet Spring girl

I decided I would do some coloring on images that were already stamped or printed. This image is a stamp from Stamp Affair. The block said 1995. I picked it up on the cheap at Goodwill. I colored with Copics. I had enough images that I did 4 cards. I added no sentiment so it would work for different occasions.

OWH-Safari Dreams Giraffe

This is the last of my safari cards. It's been fun. Time to move on to something else.

The image was a stamped image from a friend. I don't know the maker. I copied it to pictures and turned it into a png so I could resize it. It was pretty big. I used Copic markers # E30, E31, E35 and E59 to color it. I used my new X-press it blending card. Pretty darn nice paper. Blended so nice. I used Stormy Sky Distress ink around the edge of the circle. The patterned paper is from The DCWV Safari pad. I added some leather look Darice cording as the finishing touch. I also added those shiny brass brads.

I made 4 cards like this. In total I made 32 Safari Dreams cards for OWH

OWH-Elephant at sunrise

The image of the tree was already on this DCWV Safari paper. Because there were only 2 sheets of this paper I made only 2 cards like this. The elephant image is a Microsoft Office clipart image. It was a little ragged around the edges with pixels so I cut it out. I colored with a Copic N3 gray marker. That marker and my N1 are dry now and I am waiting for Oregon Art Supply to get in the ink refills. Should be here next week

I have one last safari image to upload and then that will be it for some time.
