SFYTT day and more peeks & blog candy!!

I am starting today off with a card i did using Jen's Sketch For You To Try - these are always wonderful and go up every Saturday. Jen will also be posting some things using my new stamps on Thursday - she is SO talented I know they will be FABULOUS!!! Lots of pics today so onto the fun stuff! Here is the sketch:

And my card:
I used Cake-cake with Pezzy. Colored in using prismas and gamsol (waiting on my new set of copics *waving to Amy & Jen* you enablers!!). I wanted some texture to the cake icing so i delved into my new Paper Transformed book by Julia Andrus - my oh my is it delish! The icing is made by adding a drop of water to a pile of perfect pearls adn mixing well. Then add glossy accents until you have a thick paste. I *iced* with a dry brush. The background is stamped with another one of my newbies - tiny flowers, dots and leaves. I stamped with versamark and then embossed with bridal tinsel.

Next up is a LO of pics from Easter using three of the Scrollybug stamps. I did these a little different than my norm - i stamped IN COLOR and then colored them in with Ranger ink and an aquapainter. The bricks on the ladybugs are colored with a versamark pen and then embossed with ranger's fired brick distress embossing powder.
the title is done with grungeboard and Ranger pigment ink.

Next up is a poor sick pezzy. background is done with alcohol inks and of course some bead pops from sugar & scraps on my website!
this uses one of the butterflies again. i stamped in versamrk and embossed in detail silver.
The background is painted with pearl paint dabber, alcohol inked and then i added texture to the corners with the silver paint dabber and alcohol inked those too. I am also SO pleased to get our first entry in the acrylic block contest! here is the link:
