Happy Monday everyone!!!  Today I'm sharing an easel card I made showcasing the Vellum; paper from the Paper Temptress.  I LOVE playing with Vellum and when I saw Sherri Baldy's Asian Besty, I KNEW it would be perfect for making a fan to be a backdrop for my image.  It was perfect to score and so easy to fold.

I stamped it with a few flower images and some butterflies from Theresa Momber's set, "Whimsical Spring".  And I let it THOROUGHLY dry before even attempting to fold the paper.  I used my Copic markers to color in the leaves and flowers and the branches and they worked beautifully on the vellum.

Before scoring my Vellum I added a thin line of Scor Tape to the edge and then sprinkled it with some black glitter.  LOVE it!!  I punched a hole in the bottom and added an eyelet along with some twine that I used to make a tassle at the end.  I used some liquid glue to attach the vellum to my card and since it dried clear, it made no noticeable markings on the Vellum.

I also used the gold from the Laser Lustre pack to border out my black card stock and also to punch a strip for the inside of my card.

Here's another view of the card so you can see how I folded the easel.

I hope you give the Vellum a try.. it REALLY is fun to work with and not only does it fold well, but it tears well AND does a fabulous job on the printer!!  Oh and... I have made this for an adorable new friend I've made who lives in Thailand.  She is just adorable, though we've never met, I can't wait to send this to her.  Now I hope you realize this DOES stick up on the card quite a bit but I plan to make a pretty box to put it safely in before mailing her way.  :-)

That's it for me today.  Have a GREAT week and thanks for stopping by!!! *HUGS*

Our GDT Tina with her Beautiful Bestie card


Hi everyone!! It's another beautiful day for a fabulous Sherri Baldy Bestie, right?  Ok wait.. what day isn't????!!!!!  ;-)

Today I couldn't help but look at this Big Eyed sweetness and be reminded of how my darling hubby tells me the first thing he fell in love with were my eyes.  LOL  Ok... I kinda think that's funny.  I mean seriously.. BROWN eyes??? Ya... I always wanted blue!!! LOL

I decided to make this card for him as "MY" little token of how he's a fabulous father this Father's Day.  Normally, my kids find an image and ask me to make him a card for them so I thought it was time I pick one from me.  :-)

My image is colored with Copic markers and I cut her out before adhering her to my card.  I decided on the designer paper because of the house on it and had already written my sentiment and printed it out on my printer.  It's from Webster's Pages, "New Beginnings"... love this Eastery paper.  Love the pastels!  The little "rug" I have her sitting on was made using fabric tape and I added it to a piece of card stock to give it some thickness then used my scissors to shred the edges and make fringe on my rug.

Sherri's image are so much fun to color and I find every time I sit down, I want to do another as soon as I finish one.  But, I'd never get cards put together and my Copics would surely run out of ink quicker than I could order ALL the refills! Ha!

If you are new to Sherri's images, I am sure you will find just about anything to "tell your story" or fit the occasion.  I think Sherri has a magic elf living in her studio at night because she cranks one after the other out!  But, it truly is awesome to have such a huge selection and from someone who creates the cutest images around!

Thanks for stopping by today and stay tuned, there are bound to be more of these Besties that will find their way to a card and not just colored on my desk.  ;-)  Have a great day!!! *HUGS*
