Monthly Reveal

It's that time again at D2D...monthly reveal day. Faith has come out with a few new fall & winter images that I am sure you will just LOVE. Plus, some of the gals will be 'revisting' some her older fall & winter images as well.

I decided to use 2 of her new images. For my 1st image, I used "Reach for the Stars Snowman" and created a tag.  I'm always so focused on creating cards, that I don't think about making tags for gifts. And I thought this image would be perfect for that purpose. And I am also always doing my images on white cardstock and I have seen so many people do the images on kraft paper. So, I printed my image on the kraft cardstock, colored the stars w/my atyou Spica markers for some shimmer. Then my Memento markers were used to colors the scarf and nose. A little Stickles for the snow, a piece of green cardstock folded in half, punched a hole and ran my ribbon thru and TA DA!! Easy peasy : )

For my 2nd image I used "Fall Mailbox". Fall is my FAVORITE time of year with all the changing colors & cooler weather. Again I wanted to keep it simple but yet use alot of those wonderful colors we associate with fall. I also used a new Spellbinder die that I recently purchased and absolutely LOVE it!



Well, I hope you have a chance to check out the other DT creations as well! They have some awesome creations and inspiration for you all.

Fish tales

My father-in-laws birthday is coming up soon, so I created this card w/him in mind. He really likes to fish, so I used an image from Prairie Fairy Stamps called "Fisherman Lewis".

I LOVE that he comes both colored and uncolored.  It saves alot of time when trying to do cards from time to time. I just added some Glossy Accents on his glasses and some 'shimmer' to the water w/my Gelly Roll Clear Star pen. I wanted to make it look like he 'flipped' the line out onto the card.  So, I strung twine from the bottom of the pic, up and back around and finished it off with some actual spinning lures.

I forgot to take a pic of the inside, but I wrote ~ Tell all the fish tales you want, it's your special day. I really hope he likes it  : )
