Aim High - Up, Up and Away

Good morning! It's Sandie here and I have a card to share featuring UP, UP AND AWAY. The design team inspiration for this month is "As The Leaves Turn" and we are using autumnal colours and/or images. 

I coloured my image with Touch Twin markers - 

Skin: YR132, YR133, R139

Hair: BR99, BR102, BR104

Scarf: R18, Colorless blender

Hot Air Balloon: G56, GY59, GY175. BR102, BR104. Colorless blender

And Copic Markers:

Hot Air Balloon: V20, V22, V25

I trimmed my image and adhered it with 3D foam dots onto a circle of patterned paper I cut out using classic circle nestabilities. I matted them both onto a scalloped circle and added a doily behind it. 

My papers are Basic Grey Mellow and they've been stitched down onto white and brown cardstock. I added a metal photo corner and some button twine. The I added some wild orchid crafts flowers and Viva Decor paper pen for my pearls. 

Thanks for popping in today.

Be sure to check back on Wednesday for a brand new inspiration theme.

Colors of Autumn

Hello fellow friends! This is Ruby sharing my "Autumn" take for this month challenge. I have the oh so popular Saturated Canary,"Autumn". I'm showcasing her on a bright easel card with fun fall colors.

Look at that fun ponytail to color!!! I have colored her with my Spectrum noir pens :)

My sentiment is from the Little Darlings Warm Fuzzies sentiment line "Fall Harvest" Collection designed by our lovely 

Mindy Baxter! I think it suits the card theme don't you think? 

"Red, Orange and brown are the colors of my town. Fall is here again"!

Well that's it for me today and I'll be back sooner then you know it. Come back on Friday to get some eye candy from Pop's post.

Thanks for all your love, Ruby

Autumn

Hi everyone its my turn to share a card i have made with one of the gorgeous stamps Angie stocks in the store this time I decided to go for a Saturated Canary image she is called Autumn and so much fun to colour with all that fab hair .I have coloured her in autumnal colours with copics although she nearly didnt make it onto a card i had coloured most of the image then had a bit of an ink incident when i managed to drop a red pen right onto the rake she is holding i got it out with a blender pen but it still looked rubbish so i thought oh well she can have a brush instead !! did i get away with it ??? 

hope you liked my card today thanks for looking

More Little Darlings Fall Inspiration!

Hello again!! Wasn't Angie's card GORGEOUS?!

Today...I am please as punch to announce a new guest designer for Little Darlings. This stamper has talent...longer than the day is long, but what makes this so special is ...as ridiculously talented as she is...she is even more sweet than that!! Today, we have my friend...and I bet she's yours too...Sharon Caudle! Just check out this fabulous creation she has for us!!!

 

 

I'm SO excited to be able to guest design today for Little Darlings Stamps! With the theme being fall, I just couldn't help but use this gorgeous image "An Apple A Day"! She's stamped with Memento ink onto Cryogen White paper and then colored with Copic markers. The apple shaped card is from the Silhouette Store, the flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, and the ribbon from The Ribbon Girl

See!! Isn't this beautiful?!!! Thank you so very much Sharon!!! 

Fresh Baked Pie

Hello Everyone!  Angie here!  Did you notice that I completely missed my post on Sunday?  What a goof I am!!!  Sheri stepped up to the plate and covered my backside. Thank you Sheri!!! So I am taking Sheri's turn with my post today :-)

So....I have had this scene painted for nearly 2 weeks and finally found time today to put the card together. I hadn't painted in sooooooo long and this was so difficult that it was almost torture at times. I can't tell you how many times I nearly threw it away and started over again! But, I powered on through and I'm pretty happy with the result. If I were to start it again, I'm certain there are things that I would do differently. But that's probably ALWAYS the case! LOL!!!!

Fresh Baked Pie

Well, here she is! She's got a 'Fresh Baked Pie' and she's ready for company! Want some? Mmmmmm....smells delish! She is one of the lovely LDRS Cutie Pies! I have paired her with the really great 'Wing Back Chair' and 'Table & Lamp', also from LDRS. The combo creates such a warm and cozy 'at home' scene. And, they were SO MUCH FUN TO WORK WITH!!!!! When I had these designed, I wanted some background elements that would really create an in-home feeling with a little bit of whimsy. I think they are perfect!

The papers are from BoBunny and, although they have a lot pink, they are very warm Autumn colors overall. I think it's the brown and green that give it that feel. The flowers are all from my stash. Claudia gave me the green flowers, along with a couple of other colors, and I really LOVE them. Thank you Claudia!!! The ribbons are from SU and American Crafts. I doodled the brown stitching around the scene. The images....well, as mentioned, they are painted with DI's. I also used a few Copics on the skin and hair.

Well, that's it from me today! Thank you so very much for stopping by!!!

Hugs to you all :-)

Ciao,

Angie

Misc: pearls, fabric button brads, jute trim, paper flowers. I have punched the leaves with my McGill punch called Designer Leaves.I have added stickles to them to give them a beautiful sparkle.

Wishing you love, happiness and inky fingers.

Free Hugs!!!

  Hi there friends!! It's Sheri here and today we have one more totally delightful card from our guest designer, Carol van der Westhuizen! 

For my card I have used the gorgeous new rubber stamp called "Free Hugs" by Little Darlings Saturated Canary and coloured her in with Copics. I cut out a round card shape and used a Martha Stewart border punch around the outside. The swirl, butterfly and leaves are doohickey dies and the flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts. The ribbon and pin are from my stash.

~~~

 Isn't this just so sweet and beautiful?! 

Thank you so much for being a part of the Little Darlings team Carol! The love that you put into your cards shines through...and it was such a joy to be able to get to know!! ((Hugs))
