"Relaxing Birthday Greetings"

This card was inspired and sent to Jane L. who is apart of the monthly stamp club that I belong to in Schofield, WI at The Stamp Shoppe (http://www.thestampshoppe.com/). The reason I chose this image for Jane is because she always reminds me to stop and smell the flowers; and to remember what is important...to not get stuck in the rut of everyday life! Thanks Jane for being you! Anyways, on this card I used the dot Cuttlebug Folder on the turquoise cardstock. The stamp of the bunny in the flowers, I have no idea who designed this stamp, the sentiment stamps are by Inky Antics and A Muse Artstamps. All the cardstock is by Stampin' Up and the designer paper is by Karen Foster. I used my Copic Markers, Spica Glitter Pens, and Micron Black Pen. The Copic Marker are ... Bunny - N1, N2, & RV23 ~ Flowers & Butterflies - Y23, BG000, BV20, RV00, YG05, & YG11. The Atyou Spica Pens are 13, 14, 16, & 18. The ribbon is a left over scrap from my stash. Oh almost forgot to mention...the sketch I used is from Mojo Monday (http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/). Thanks for stopping by and if you have any questions or idea's feel free to leave me a message!

Sending You Sunshine... RAK Card

Wow, another group of cards made! This card in particular is for my online Copic Crafter Group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CopicCrafters/). I have signed up to be a part of a year long card exchange, we have 24 people in total. What we do is ... two names are drawn each month and the others make cards and send to those lucky people. Once your name is drawn, it can not be drawn again. So this way each person makes two cards a month, sends them out and when it's their turn they only make one; but receive 23 in the mail! It's a nice surprise; something wonderful instead of bills or junk mail! Anyways, on this card I used a new Cuttlebug Folder to make the tiny raised dots on the turquoise cardstock. The stamp of the bunny in the flowers, I have no idea who designed this stamp, the sentiment stamps are by Inky Antics, Great Impressions, and Amuse. All the cardstock is by Stampin' Up and the designer paper is by Karen Foster. I used my Copic Markers, Spica Glitter Pens, and Micron Black Pen. The copic numbers are ... Bunny - N1, N2, & RV23 ~ Flowers & Butterflies - Y23, BG000, BV20, RV00, YG05, & YG11. The spica numbers are 13, 14, 16, & 18. The ribbon is a left over scrap from my stash. Oh almost forgot to mention...the sketch I used is from Mojo Monday (http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/). Thanks for stopping by and if you have any questions or idea's feel free to contact me!

Sunshine RAK Card

This card was made for my online group, Copic Crafters (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CopicCrafters/). We have a section dedicated to our members, where they can ask for Sunshine RAK Cards (Random Acts of Kindness) to be sent to loved ones whom are ill, been in an accident, or just need some cheering up. This particular card I created for a member's father whom is ill. He enjoys hunting and is an avid gun collector, which is why I choose this image by Endless Designs. The sentiment inside, I have no idea whom designed it. It is another item that has been in my stash for awhile. LOL! The sentiment on the envelope is by Inky Antics. The cardstock used is Stampin' Up and designer paper is Sugartree. The Copic Markers that I used are as follows... Antlers - E40 & E53. Elk Body - E31, E35, E55, E74 & R12. The Spica Glitter Pens that I used are 00 (Clear) & 19 (Sand). For the extra details I used the Black Micron Pen and White Gel Pen. I sponged the image and sentiment inside card with Stampin' Up Ink. If anyone has any questions about this group or things I may have forgotten to mention in my post, feel free to contact me! Thanks for your time in checking my new card!
