From random thought to total obsession faster than the speed of light...
Pink cat studio stamps that is! this first one is a two piece set and the card uses Julee's Mojo Monday sketch->
Close ups:
i colored the image with copics and used a spica silver pen on the present's ribbon. the fur on her hat and scarf is done with opal perfect pearls covered with martha stewart crystal glitter. i rarelybuy paper stacks but when i saw this pink, white and black glitter paper in the DCWV glitter stack i HAD to have it.
the image is embossed in silver and then colored with copics.
next up is a card using one of my brand spankin' new pink cats and using this week's SCS sketch:
close up:
the image is colored with copics and accented with LOTS of spica pen BUT i could not get the glitter to show well today...maybe tomorrow i will try again! the *snow drifts* are two cuttlebug embossed layers (not my idea *waves to heather* you can see the original here) - one of them i inked the folder so the color is on the background and the other one i inked the raised portion.
both the light blue base and the dark blue layer are covered in snowflakes stamped with frost versadazzle. leaves a nice watermark with a bit of shimmer. finished off with ribbon, buttons and stickles!
and now i must pass it on so:

ahhh some playtime in the studio! first up - got a chance to play Taylor's friday cupcake challenge. here is the sketch ->
the cuppie is colored with copics and has stickles "icing" and spica silver accents. the "cherry" on top is pewter liquid pearls. the snowflake paper is really shimmery along with the glittery ribbon but no luck capturing it today :(
i hope everyone had a FABULOUS thanksgiving and ate themselves silly! now to find time to decorate for christmas.....
images are colored with copics:
las gift card holder is a simpler cuttlebug embossed image using a piece of glossy cardstock covered in alcohol inks:
anyone else get their sign up done for CHA classes???? i never did get it to work and then after about 40 minutes it went completely off line - BUMMER i so want to get in to T!m's class!!!!
i really love this one for a couple reasons. first of all how CUTE is charlotte with her kitty?? this is another image from whiff of joy - dubbed whiffies by a couple friends *waves to suzanne and susanna* - colored with copics and then i used doodlebug flock on her muff and hat - sticks really well with glossy accents. the second reason i love this one is the background - created by my little 2 year old Pezzy!! yep she loves to paint and "do stampies" so i set her up and let her go to town. for this one i gave her my foam ink blending tool first with brilliance crimson reinker and then brilliance cottage ivy reinker. next i gave her some inkadinkado stamps and the same color ink pads and let her stamp. she does not produce very good images for the most part but i think that just makes this background better!
now off to work for me! have a great day!
sorry for the awful pics - the light has been really bad here lately! here are some close ups:
i cut the image piece with my new nesties. stamped with black archival ink and then smudged in pine needle and fired brick distress inks with the ink blending tool. tree is stamped with peeled paint distress ink and the sentiment with fired brick. the grungeboard pieces are painted with the silver paint dabber. instead of tiny brads i used a drop of mushroom dimensional pearls in each hole of the grungeboard and it dried in this weird cool way so it looks like old beat up brads! stamps are inkadinkado and sentiments are studio G. All items available at Pezadoodles!
next set up was done using MJ's sketch from last week (yea yea i know i am late EEK!) and t!m's tag 10 tutorial:
Check out that 3D SNOW!! directions below. I did not have any pattern paper i liked with these so i made my own - stamped and clear embossed some snowflakes on white cardstocke. mixed up two pearl mists using the same reinkers as the paint dabbers used on the tag - cloudy blue with pearl perfect pearls and pool with perfect pewter. i sprayed over the whole page. when dry i stamped more snowflakes in cloudy blue and pool and then wiped all the inks off the embossed snowflakes. perfectly matching shimmery paper! Again check out Pezadoodles for supplies! and now on to the snow...
gather your supplies: clear UTEE, white UTEE, holographic embossing powder and glossy accents. you will also need a small palstic container and mixing stick and something to measure with - i used a cap from a mini mister - i never put them back on anyway (organization is hopelessly beyond my reach).
your measuring tool doesn't need marks or anything - it is 3 parts clear UTEE and 1 part white UTEE - so here i used 3 capfuls of clear and 1 capful of white. add 2-3 pinches of holographic EP.
next squirt some glossy accents into the powders and mix it in really well. keep adding glossy accents until you get a mixture the consistency of cookie dough.
spread it on your project, embed charms or other items into it and let dry!
don't want 8 ounces (and $17) of UTEE just for a little snow on your cards? get a premixed jar of powder with or without the glossy accents here. Remember t!m's 12 tags kits are also available.
how cool is that! now go have fun!!
this one is a grungeboard tag cut with a sizzix die in my cuttlebug. i covered it in peeled paint distress ink, embossed it with the tree folder in the cuttlebug and then rubbed over it lightly with brilliance galaxy gold ink. i also embossed the holly piece from the seasonal grungeboard set and painted it gold with a ranger paint dabber. i used peeled paint and fired brick distress stickles to accent and the sentiment is studio G!
this coaster tag is painted with tattered rose crackle paint, stamped with an image from inkadinkado's holiday classics in black soot distress ink and then rubbed with pine needles and fired brick distress inks and the ranger foam blender. i distressed the edges and then went over them with vintage photo distress ink. the swirl is from debbie's die cuts and is painted with espresso and gold ranger paint dabbers. i hung a fragment charm backed with patterned paper to finish it off.

and now one last installment of christmas cuppies - another gift set based on this weeks cupcake challenge sketch from Taylor:
andclose ups of each item:
the main panel is ranger glossy paper colored with alcohol inks in bottle and meadow with gold mixative. i stamped the greeting in staz on - just got a BUNCH of colors in to play with.
the cuppies are colored with copics and accented with spica glitter pens and "iced" with stickles - no sun again today so i couldn't really capture the sparkle....
had a WONDERFUL time with Christine and Suzanne today - thanks for hosting suzanne!!!!!
