I recently bought this Magenta stamp from someone ready to send it on to a new home. I painted it up with watercolour, added some layers, mounted it to a base card that I embossed with a long rectangular Nestabilitie that my sweet sistah gave me for my birthday.
Thanks for stopping by.

I’m really smitten with this stamp from Stampingbella. I coloured it up with Touch alcohol markers and added a little Prismacolour pencil crayon for highlights. The sentiment is by Magenta.
Thanks for looking.

I just love this piece of 6 X 6 Basic Grey Wisteria patterned paper needed absolutely nothing, other than the stamped sentiment that I added. Talk about quick & easy!
Thanks for visiting!

I actually went about making this card the “right” way for a change; picking out my papers and then colouring the image to actually match the papers and cardstock that I had chosen. I must say, it sure does make the whole process a lot easier.
The papers I have had for years and years; probably some of the first patterned paper I ever purchased. The stamp is a Magenta favourite of mine. Lots of open space for colouring. I’ve stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with Touch Twin markers.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

When I saw this stamp from Rubbermoon I just had to have it! If you are like me, you hate panty hose and I would rather stay home than put those “beasts” on. Thank goodness I can go to work in jeans! I can also relate to the lady eating those chocolates (also Rubbermoon). Yummy!!!!
The image was colored with Prismacolor pencil crayons and Taltine (OMS) and mounted to layers of c/s cut with Spellbinders dies. The small scallop punch at the top and bottom is from EK Success. The background paper is from Magenta.

I can’t believe that summer is almost over. This is the first autumn card I’ve made. The chipboard tree is colored with Distress ink and I’ve added some Flower Soft to resemble autumn leaves.

I absolutely love this image from Magenta. They really do make the most awesome stamps captivating so much detail. There really isn’t a lot one has to do to have their images ready for a card. I sponged on a little Distress ink and that was it. Matched with the perfect papers, and voila an instant card. (I didn’t choose the papers or image. This was from my last Bar au Cartes class at the local ss).
Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

That would be as in birdie, not as cheap stamping stuff. LOL.
I used some Magenta chipboard to make this card. It’s the first time I’ve used chipboard and I really like the look. I inked the pieces with Distress inks and of course just had to add some Stickles. A birdie needs his bling too!
Have a super day!

Are you seeing a pattern here? LOL. Another purple fairy card. I love this Stampingbella stamp She’s just too cute! I’ve used Prismacolor pencil crayons and Taltine (OMS) once again. Really, I will try something else soon, but this just works so darn well for me. The punch for the border is from Martha Stewart and the corner punch is by EK Success. I’ve also added a small Magenta stamp to the background .
Please stop by again. And of course, your comments are always much appreciated.
Creative hugs,
Dianne

Basic Grey has the most awesome papers and I spotted this sheet at my local ss and JUST HAD TO HAVE IT!
I took another sheet of brown background paper and added some Distress Soot Black and distressed the edges a bit. I then added some Peel Offs that I colored here and there with an olive green Touch marker. I painted the boat with some US Artquest Mica Magic watercolor paints. A real quick card but it does have some punch to it and would make a perfect guy card, don’t you think?
Have a super day!

I had a lot of fun making these pictures for my new grandson. The backgrounds are done with watercolor sprays and I’ve stamped with black Memento ink and embossed with clear e/p. Stamps are by Magenta.
I sure hope he likes them!

I love these new flower cards from Magenta! I had a blast making this one and will definitely be making more.
The cards are white and I’ve colored it by brayering chalk ink. I jazzed it up a bit, okay a lot, by adding some peel-offs, ribbon and Stickles and voila!

For this card I used the Magenta Peel-Offs as a mask. The image is panted with US Artquest mica water color paints. Once dry the Peel-Offs were removed. Kind of a neat look I think and I can reuse the Peel-Off! Recycling is good!!!!

Recently I entered a card contest sponsored by BladeRubberStamps (Link is at the right). I was so surprised and of course delighted to hear that I had won 3rd prize!
The stamp I chose is by Magenta. I stamped the image twice on watercolor paper and embossed with detail gold embossing powder. I painted the image with Twinkling H2Os and added a light watercolor wash to the background using Tombow markers. The vases were cut from the second stamped image and adhered to the main image with foam tape to add a little dimension.
Many thanks to all who voted for my entry and a huge thank you to BladeRubberStamps for choosing my card.

To all my blog friends, Happy Easter.

For this card, I started by making an ink pad using a folded up paper towel moistened with masking fluid. I then “inked” up the pear stamp (Magenta), several times, and stamped across the bottom of a piece of glossy cardstock. Once the masking fluid was dry, I added some alcohol inks to make the background. The sentiment (Inkadinkadoo) was then stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with detailed gold embossing powder. Finally, I rubbed off the masking fluid and colored in the pears using alcohol inks mixed with a little blending solution.
I really like the look of this. What do you think?
