Quixotic Paperie, CPS and Copic Creations...

Hello...  hope you had a fun week so far! I wanted to stop by with a card I made using some fabulous goodies found in Quixotic Paperie shop.

I bought the stunning My Mind's Eye - 6x6 Paper Pad - Stella & Rose - Mabel because I loved the gorgeous patterns and the fabulous colours!

But for a change I thought I would stamp the edges of the paper with Stempelglede - Grunge Collection using distress ink.

  

When I saw this adorable set Oliver & Amelia - Little Dreamer from the Greeting Farm, I just knew I wanted to create a starry scene.

Oliver has been coloured using copics and the airbrush system, which I'm sooo new at, but I'm loving!!! This was my second attempt as my mask lifted at the edges on the first and Oliver got very blue ears LOL!. I think the colours are quite warm so I'm entering this or Copic Creations Challenge #44. The sentiment and Star is from the same set too.

 

I used the fabulous sketch from card positioning systems #206 for inspiration. 

Thanks for stopping by today, have a lovely creative day!

Be Inspired - Be Yourself....

Thought it was about time I bought one of the fantastic Hero Arts stamp sets, this would be my first set (it's not easy picking just one from the amazing collection) and so I had a to have a go at the wonderful Challenge over on the Hero Arts blog "be inspired" which is also my first. Lucy Abrahms was the inspiration behind this card, I haven't cased just one but taken lots of her signature elements. Bright colours on Kraft and fabulous dimensional labels 1 frame.

Edited to add: Wanted to share a few of the techniques I have used here... the leaves I have stamped directly onto the patterned paper with versamark and heated with clear embossing powder, I then cut out and have adhered with a few of the leaves on dimensional foam. I have die cut the frame in core'dinations whitewash papers, embossed with cutb'g folder and sanded slightly. The bird I have stamped directly onto the base card, and two decorative papers, cut out and raised on foam. Thanks for asking and you're very welcome...

Thanks for stopping by and your lovely comments, don't forget there's still time to enter my blog candy! Wishing all the father's out there a very special father's day, my OH is working so we're off out for tea, have a fantastic weekend, HuGs Kim x

Wow!!! so much to Share and ICS #21

Where do I begin?...... Firstly I feel so honoured that Kazan and Laura at 2 Sketches 4 You picked my card for the card of the week I can't quite believe it, and am over the moon!!!

Now technology is out to get me this month... first my telephone line down, which meant two weeks without Internet access and now I am having some trouble with my hotmail account and I am appealing to you all here to say I'm very sorry if you've received some unusual emails from me, it appears that my contacts list has been violated and Hotmail abuse team have currently ceased my account until the problem is solved. I hope this hasn't effected anyone and I can only hope they will sort it soon. Seems nothings really very safe but you're all very welcome to contact me at kimpaperbabe@yahoo.com and if anyone has sent me an email to my hotmail address since last week I'm afraid I am unable to read or reply to you, very sorry.

So onto my DT card this week for Inspirational Card Sketches....

Another fantastic sketch by the talented Dawn to challenge the mojo, well I was very inspired by Leandra's feature in this months Craft Stamper and just had to give it a go.

The sheet metal I have is self adhesive and so the embossing isn't as detailed as I would have liked. I had to de-tack the adhesive side with my stamp buddy. I'm pleased with the result and really enjoyed it. I have embellished mine with a vintage RubOn, how adorable are these two little ones? So thought the message went well LOL! Used October afternoon's fabulous papers again as wanted it quite fun and bright.

2Sketches4You - Kazan Sketch #28

Well, I haven't had a go at one of Kazan or Laura's sketches for a while now and thought I would create a card this week using Kazan's sketch 28, they are offering some amazing blog candy in their ultimate card showdown competition, pop on over to 2 Sketches 4 You and check them out!

I couldn't resist these super cute October afternoon papers and stamps how adorable is that Duck and the butterfly too! I hope the little five year old will enjoy this card as much as I made it, LOL! A few details to share is how easy it was to colour the glitter paper to co-ordinate with the images using my copic marker. The images have been stamped, coloured and all hand cut. The girl's initial has been cut from fun foam, and embellished with a touch of bling.
