I LOVE the Willoughby paper collection from the paper company. The patterns are just so elegant and classy! I whipped up this card using ribbon and a tag from the collection, along with some coordinating cardstock & my friskars scallop punch.

So it's probably no surprise that TAC's Catelynne patterned paper collection is one of my favorites. Well this month Melisa organized a blog hop this month to highlight one of TAC's newest stamp sets Little Cupcake and I knew right away that I wanted to pair it with this paper collection!
I colored the image using Prismacolor Colored Pencils & Gamsol, highlighted it using a gray Copic marker, and then added some stickles to the flowers. I added a piece of scrappers floss around the main image and decided that this was enough. :)
Supplies:
I created this one for a card swap. This one features PTI cardstock & ribbon, and patterned paper from My Minds Eye.

I love this bunny set from TAC you'll probably be seeing a lot of it :) I pulled out some "old school" Basic Grey for the background. I was just telling DH that in the paper crafting world what is "new" really is only new for a couple of weeks. Isn't it funny how true that is and how we are always on pins and needles waiting for the next great new release? LOL
I've been making it a point to try and use what I have with the exception of a few new stamp sets here and there. In the process I've rediscovered my love for Prismacolor colored pencils. I pulled out the Gamsol again to color the image. Granted I still have a lot to learn about shading and blending but I'm pretty please with how this one turned out. :)
Supplies
Stamps: Some Bunny & TAC GWP stamps
Paper: TAC Premium white & DCWV cs, Basic Grey patterned paper
Ink: Palette Raw Sienna
Other: Prismacolor Colored pencils, Gamsol, Nestibilities die
Can you believe it's already the end of March?? This month is just flying by! But I don't mind because it means Spring is here! Today was gorgeous here in Maryland! I just hope it stays this way and doesn't drop back down to the 40's.
Anyway, it's time for another round of Angel Art. This month's theme was spring so I created a Easter card using one of TAC's new sets called Some Bunny.
I also pulled out one of my Cuttlebug embossing folders to create the background. I don't use them nearly as much as I should. I love the embossed look because it's so easy to create and It adds so much texture and detail to the card.
Supplies:
Stamps: TAC's Some Bunny
Paper: TAC's Premium white CS, Kraft CS, & DCWV cardstock
Ink: Palette Noir
Other: Prismacolor Colored Pencils, Gamsol, ribbon, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Nestabilities Dies

Lately I've been trying to make it a point to participate in challenges organized by other paper crafters. Melisa, fellow Angel Sister & friend has been hosting blog hops for awhile now and this is my first time playing. She challenged us to create something using the Blissfully Everafter stamp set from the Angel Company. I don't have this set but she was so sweet and RAK me some images. I really like this set! I hadn't really considered it before now but It's now on my ever growing wish list :)
I could not for the life of me get a good photograph or scan of the first card due to the light color of the patterned paper, but the flower's color is actually very close to the color of the patterned paper.
On the card base I stamped one of the swirls from TAC's Curls & Swirls stamp set using Versamagic Turquoise Gem ink. I inked the stamp and stamped first on a piece of scratch paper and then stamped again without re-inking the stamp, onto the card base.
I outlined the dress using a Copic marker (B00-Frost Blue). The white flower is a Bazzill Bitty Blossom and the bluish green one & white button is from Making Memories Noteworthy embellishment jar. I attached them using white scrappers floss & glue dots.
Below the wedding dress I stamped a sentiment from TAC's Everyday Events stamp set. Then I layered a couple of sheets of patterned paper from TAC's Gentle Beginnings paper pack.
My second card also features patterned paper from the Gentle Beginnings paper pack. I colored the images using Prismacolor colored pencils and Gamsol. The ribbon was in my stash, I'm not sure who the manufacturer is.
I left the inside of the card blank because the image really could be used for a variety of occasions... Wedding, Birthday, Mother's Day, Spring Greetings, Thinking of you, ect. I really love the versatility that this image provides.
For this card I went with a more traditional color scheme. I used a stamp from the Floral Dingbats stamp set, some B&W dotted sheer ribbon, and a nesties tag die. I colored the image using copic markers & Prismacolor colored pencils, and a glitter pen (for the brides bracelet although you probably can't tell).
Thanks for looking! Don't forget to check out the other wonderful creations...
and TGIF! It's been a long week but today the weather was ABSOLUTELY gorgeous so I really can't complain. Tomorrow is supposed to be nicer and I am soooo looking forward to getting outside in the fresh air.
I did get a chance to create a card today.
The inspiration behind it comes from this card...
