Not Beary Scary D2D Challenge - October 21, 2010

I really enjoyed making this card with the digi stamp provided by Designed2Delight.  The corn stalks are individually painstakingly cut out by hand, but well worth the effort.  I wanted to give the card dimension so I raised the front pumpkin and bear with foam squares.  When I scanned the card, the corn stalks actually blurred a little bit in the picture which allowed the bear and pumpkin to stand out even more.

The coloring was done with copic markers and the black dashed edging is from the Debbie Mumm Harvest and Holiday paper collection from JoAnn Fabrics.

Beautiful Blessings - D2D Challenge - October 14, 2010

This card is dedicated to Jeanette Lister and Barb Wiser

When I started this card I was thinking of Jeanette 

my best high school girl friend whose battle with Breast Cancer began June 2009.

Jeanette has climbed up a very long hill this past year. 

As she was finishing up her chemo treatments this spring, 

her sister Cathy was diagnosed with cancer as well and passed away in April 2010.

I found out on October 18, 2010 that my Aunt Barb 

after being diagnosed 9 years ago on Sept, 11, 2001 with Breast Cancer 

had passed away on Friday,October 15, 2010.

The last time I saw my aunt was 2 years ago while home 

for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. 

Aunt Barb was full of life and had the biggest smile 

anyone could ever have on her face. 

I will always remember her that way.

To me they are all totally awesome women.

I want to thank Designed2Delight for the Digi Stamp. 

I again used Copic markers for coloring the stamp.  

Merry Christmas Santa Card

This is my first attempt at using Copic Sketch Markers.  

I used Christmas Green Flower Soft on the wreath to give dimension.

 Santa digi stamp is from the Hero Arts - Four Santa's Digi Stamp

 through Two Peas in a Bucket Digital Kits.

I made 4 Santa's and colored them differently to make into card for Christmas this year.
