Beautiful Day!

Hi!

Oh my goodness, isn't this little angel adorable?! Meet "Lizabeth Biking Angel" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I'll tell you a little secret..... I want a bike just like this in a fun colour with the basket! Of course it will have to have a bell. Maybe Hubby will read this post and surprise me with one LOL.

To start my card, I stamped the image onto Copic friendly paper with Memento ink in Tuxedo. Before colouring in the image with my Copic Sketch markers, I chose papers from the Doodle Bug "My Happy Place" 6x6 collection. This way I can try to colour matching the chosen papers. I'm using the "Beautiful day" sentiment from High Hopes. A sprinkling of enamel dots finish off my card.

Lizabeth Birthday Wishes

A couple of weeks ago, I had the privilege of attending a card making class with my fellow DT Bev. We did 4 amazing fun fold cards one of which was an easel card. I haven't made an easel card for a while so it was a good reminder that I need to make more! It also reminded me that I wanted to try making a shaped easel card as well. 
I wanted to use Lizabeth Biking Angel on a Birthday card so I decided to put her on a circle easel card just for fun. 

I coloured Lizabeth with alcohol markers and Prismacolor pencils and cut her out using a pleated circle die and put a piece of matching card stock behind it. Some sparkly Stickles were perfect for her wings. 
 I cut the same pieces for the base and set them aside. Next I cut the base for my card and a piece of patterned paper slightly smaller then the base edge for both the top and bottom. 
Next I stamped and cut my sentiment, mounted it on a piece of matching card stock and popped it up with foam squares - this holds my top piece in place acting like a stopper. 
A cotton lace bow and some flowers finish off my card.
