DZ Doodles First new release of 2010!

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year holiday!

To help kick off 2010 Diane, over at DZ Doodles, has some fabulous new drawings for you to try. Not only are there many new images to choose from, they are ALL ON SALE! It really doesn't get better than that my friends!
I just love this heart and flowers image. I thought it would be perfect for my honey on Valentines day. I printed the image twice and colored one of the images flowers and leaves with my Prismacolor Pencils and OMS. I then cut out the flowers, used Flower Soft for the centers and Crystal effects for shine.
I cut out the heart on the second image and sponged it with distress inks. I then covered the heart with versamark and heat embossed with a glittered clear embossing powder.

I stamped the "LOVE" sentiment, layered the heart over the top then popped up the flowers with dimensionals.
A few rounds with my sewing machine and voila!

Skipping Stones Design Sketch Tuesday # 5

Welcome to week 5 of the Skipping Stones Sketch challenge! This weeks gorgeous sketch was provided by the very talented Kim Teasdale.For this weeks sketch I used the Skipping Stones Design set called Healing Wings. My card is 4" x 6" and has many layers. I stamped the butterfly on Whisper White and clear embossed with my heat gun. I painted the wings with distress inks in peeled paint and spiced marmalade. I think the colors matched the papers just the way I wanted them to.
