From my Heart...

After a long break of holiday fun and being ill, I am now creating and posting cards as a Guest Designer, monthly for Jennifer Nilsson Art over at Miss Daisy Stamps 

I am excited to be back in my crafty space and start making cards to share with you all

Here's what I created for you today...

I am using Winter Cocoa Teddy-Jennifer Nilsson Art this month.  This adorable, little bear all bundled up, melts my heart

I colored the bear using my Copic markers in the following colors:  BG000, BG01, E00, E21, E35, E37, R22, R27, Y35, Y38

Using a Kraft card base, layered with light blue and kraft patterned paper from Authentique, I added a sentiment, red stitched heart cut from a die and snowflakes, also from a die.  To finish the card a fiber bow and some crystal blue rhinestones

I invite you to check out the fun and inspiration over at Miss Daisy Stamps Create & Share Facebook Group and hope you will consider joining us!

Thanks for coming by today and make sure to check out all the Jennifer Nilsson images sold exclusively at Miss Daisy Stamps, where you will also find images, sentiments, card kits and digital papers from both Miss Daisy Stamps and We are 3 as well.

Inspired by Pinterest and Top 3

Today I want to share a card I created, inspired by a card I pinned to my My Pinterest Board
See the Cased Card HERE

 

This card was one of the projects made in a class I taught with a group of my school district friends. 
We try to get together at least quarterly to have dinner, chat and create.  It's so much fun!

I like keeping it small, only six people, including me, which makes it less stressful to plan.

There are others wanting to get into the group, when we vote someone off the island!

 

 

...and I am also sharing a Top 3 win at Digi Galore Challenges.  Read about it HERE

 

 

I was so excited to see that my card made Top 3, as this card was revamped several times.

I was having trouble getting the coloring just right on the bear, so after several attempts,

I decided to print the image on designer paper and do a little paper piecing.

So glad I stuck with it!  I really like the finished card.

And of course I have awesome images to work with as a DT member at SKdigis 

Check out all images in the STORE

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today and remember to join me for the new Sketchy Friday challenge.

Also, Sonia has added 10 new St. Patrick's Day and there is a FREEBIE too!

 

I be back later this weekend to share some cards with the new St. Patrick's Day images,

and two other projects from my class.

 

Until then...

Catch the Frenzy! - Karen
