Have a flippin' amazing summer!

Hello! I hope you're having a flippin' awesome day! :) I had fun coloring this sweet Lulee's Swim Time stamp from PeachyKeenStamps. Isn't she adorable?! And guess what?! She is only $3.50!!! I colored her with Copics {I'll list colors below}. I made a beach for her using distress inks and water. I used antique linen for the sand, peacock feathers for the ocean, and tumbled glass for the sky. For a finishing touch on the Lulee's Swim Time girl, I added wink of stella and glossy accents to her swimmies. The greeting is from the Sit Back And Relax set by MyCreativeTime. It's just perfect because she has "flippers" on. :) I also used the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More Dies by MyCreativeTime.

Hello! It's Die Of The Month day at MyCreativeTime. This month it's the Stitched Capture Frame die. I've used it on this card to make a shaker. I did some masking to add the hat from the Tweet Me set to the sweet giraffe from the new Hello Baby set. I colored the party giraffe with my Copics. I stamped and cut out the "celebrate" banner from the Chalkboard Birthday set. I shaded it with Copics. I used the 3 Stitched Star Dies and stamped "you" from the Tweet Me set on the little one. I also used the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More Dies for the pink layer. I used the Stitched Grass Die for the grass on the shaker. The papers are from the Sugar Chic and Dreamy collections by Heidi Swapp.

Seas the day

Hello! I love getting more out of my stamps, don't you???!!! For this adorable sea turtle, I used the Dragon Family Face Assortment by PeachyKeenStamps. Yep, dragon faces! I think it makes for a pretty darn cute sea turtle! :) I used this Sea Turtle SVG from MissKateCuttables and my Cricut Explore to cut it out. I cut it from white cardstock, and used my Copics to color it. I used broken china, peacock feathers, and salty ocean distress inks to make the background. The greeting is from the Hey Sailor set by MyCreativeTime. To finish this off, I added blobs of glossy accents...they

 look like bubbles. :) OH and she is on a WOBBLE so she swims! :)

MCT Sneaks Day 3

Hello! It's day 3 of sneaks for MyCreativeTime. Today we are sneaking a new set called Already Missing You. I did some masking to make my little flock of flamingos. I snapped 2 pics of the process...Here is what it looks like after stamping and applying liquid frisket {mask}. 

And here it is after stamping the flamingos that will be in the background.

It looks like a hot mess in progress, but turns out pretty jazzy. {The liquid frisket rolls off super easily} ;) For my scene, I wanted to focus on the 2 flamingos in the front. They're "friends". :) So I colored them more dramatically. I used just 2 Copics on the other flamingos. 

I added some eyelashes to the "friends", and also added wink of stella and glossy accents to parts of them. The greeting is also from the new Already Missing You set. Oh, I also used the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More and Stitched Oval Dies. Forgot to say that I used my Copics to color the border behind the frame.

MCT Trending Now- Nautical

Hiya! We're exploring the nautical trend today at MyCreativeTime. I used the Anchors And Hearts Dies by MyCreativeTime. I cut the anchor out of Post It Paper to make a mask. I inked over a chevron stencil to create the pattern. Then I peeled up the mask, and VOILA! A patterned anchor! Easy peasy! I used the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More Dies to cut the panel.

MCT Inspire Me Wednesday

Hello! It's Inspire Me Wednesday at MyCreativeTime. My card today was inspired by the Dreamy 6x6 paper pad by Heidi Swapp that I picked up the other day. I wanted to do some really soft Copic coloring to go with the paper. I used the We're Better Together set by MyCreativeTime for the cup and donut. I stamped the donut first and then masked it off and stamped the cup over top of it. I colored the donut with E30 and E31 after I stamped the frosting with Cotton Candy ink from SimonSaysStamp. I stamped the sprinkles with Mint Julep ink by Hero Arts. I colored the cup with G0000 and G00. I used W00, W0, and W1 for the "white" areas on the cup. The greeting is also from the We're Better Together set. I finished the card off with some wink of stella, glossy accents on the sprinkles, and a scattering of sequins. I added the wink of stella to just the shaded areas of "white".

Wishing you a happy birthday

Hello! I hope you're having a fabulous day! Today I had fun playing with the awesome December 2013 stamp set by PeachyKeenStamps. It's also the second card I've colored on patterned paper {you'll see another tomorrow}. I did that card first, and now I'm really in to coloring on patterned paper! LOL I used the Dreamy 6x6 paper pad by Heidi Swapp. Look for a break in a pattern to do your stamping. It's just instantly more interesting because of the pattern. Anyhoo...I colored the deer and balloon from the December 2013 set by PeachyKeenStamps with my Copics. The greeting is also from the December 2013 set. I used the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More dies by MyCreativeTime for the panel, and the Fun Stitched Edges Dies for the scalloped border. I finished it off with wink of stella and sequins. 

Psst! Everything is 20% off at PeachyKeenStamps! :) Happy Tuesday to ya! :)

Gnomies are my homies!

Hello! I made this card today to play along in the current MyFavoriteThings challenges. The Sketch Challenge and The Color Challenge. Also, today is the start of Kathy Racoosin's 30 Day Color Challenge, part deux. ;) Here's my card...

I used the adorable gnome from the You Gnome Me set by MyFavoriteThings. I colored him with my Copics. I jazzed him up a bit by drawing him a plaid shirt. :) I used the Tag Layers dies by MyCreativeTime for the tag. I cut an additional tag and used the Grassy Edges dies from MyFavoriteThings. I stamped the Candy Stripe background by PeachyKeenStamps and cut it out with the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More dies by MyCreativeTime. I used the Banner Trio Dies for the greeting. That funny greeting is from the March Gnomes 2012 set by PeachyKeenStamps. {I used the physical stamps, but the set is now available in digi form} OH and I used the Cartoon Clouds Background by MyCreativeTime for the sky. 

I hope you're having an awesome day! 

♥ Nikki ♥
