Jolly Ole Saint Nick

My goodness I am late!  Typically I set up my posts the night before new release day but I am just getting to my "night before" list and it's already the night after!  UGH.

A Day For Daisies' new release "Vintage Seasonal Fun" is based off some old Christmas illustrations from the 1900s.  The image I used, "Saint Nick" is done in Margaret Evan Price style.  I love the swirls of magic around Santa as he gets ready to go down the chimney!  The image is colored with copics and I pulled out all the glittery, iridescent, sparkly stuff I could find for the swirling magic and snow :)  I used Bazzill cardstock for the card and the "Believe" and swirls are $1 stamps from Michaels (I love my $1 stamps!).  So please head over to A Day For Daisies and check out the other fabulous images in this week's release.

Happy Crafting! <3 Lisa

Bewitching!

Hello Everyone!  I am soooo excited it's Friday because today happens to be my last work day for the next 8 days - WooHOOO :)  Oh vacation is GOOD :)

A Day For Daisies has a wonderful new release today --Vintage Halloween!  My card features "Vintage Witch" and she's colored with copics.  I used Pink Paisley polka dot paper for the background; Fancy Pants paper pack for the sentiment (embellished with orange/black rhinestones from my stash); and I cut the diecut frame using my Cricut and the Happy Hauntings cartridge.  I am not certain about the orange striped paper; it is something I've had in my stash for a long time.  Last week, ADFD announced their newest challenge - "Gimme Some Texture" - and since I had so much fun adding texture to my project last week, I got a little texture-y this week and added the feathers around the sentiment :)

Well, I'm off to work!  Happy Crafting <3 Lisa

New Releases from A Day For Daisies! More Gorgeous Vintage Images...

I am in love with these vintage images!  I used "Vintage School Girl Four."  You can find them all HERE.  I used copics to color the face and hair and I paper pieced the blouse (Paper Pizazz), and hat (chestnut velvet paper). I layered Prima paper flowers for the embellishment on the hat.  I used Webster's Papers dp from the Hollywood Vogue collection for the oval background (SB Labels 10) and Bazzill cardstock, embossed with Cuttlebug folder, Grace's Frame, behind the oval.  I also popped the framed image with foam dots.  I added strips of Bazzill cardstock edge-punched with MS arch lattice and ribbon.  The pearls on the frame and flower center came from Quixotic Paperie as a free gift with purchase :)

Have you ever noticed that work weeks with only four days seem to go by more slowly than a regular work week?  This week has definitely seemed that way and I am ready for some crafty therapy!  I hope your weekend is wonderful! <3 Lisa
