Isle Esme!

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday!!

I think we should travel today, shall we? How about to that remote, delightful island that us Twilight fanatics know as Isle Esme!!

I LOVE when Edward tells Bella that their honeymoon destination is Isle Esme, an island that Carlisle bought as a gift for Esme!

"Who gives an island as a gift? I frowned. I hadn't realized that Edward's extreme generosity was a learned behavior" - Bella

How PERFECT is this stamp to represent Isle Esme! LOVE it!!! I started by stamping my image, which is from Life's A Beach from There She Goes, in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White Cardstock. I then stamped it on a post it note, cut it out and created a mask. Once I had my mask over my image, I used my brayer to create the sunset sky and the water!!

I used two different Kaleidacolor inks for this! For the sky I used Desert Heat, and for the ocean, Blue Breeze!! After I brayered on my colors, I lifed off my mask and colored my image with Copic Markers.

I framed my image with Scalloped Rectangle Nestabilities, and added some piercing. My layout is from the Get Sketchy Blog, and this one is GS14!

The patterned paper on my card is from Razzleberry Lemonade by SU! and I used Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo cardstock. I finished it off with some ribbon and brads from my stash!!

Thanks SO much for stopping by!!

Rock, Paper, Scissors!

Hi everyone! Happy Monday!!

Here is a card that I made for the Get Sketchy Sketch Challenge #13! I just recently found the Get Sketchy Blog, and as I love a sketch challenge, I started to follow them!

For my card, I used the limited edition Digi Stamp from The Greeting Farm, Ebony (aka Alice Cullen!!). I totally LOVE her! I printed her out and colored her with Copic Markers. I then cut her out and embossed the panel with Classic Oval Nestabilities.

I used some Just Rite Stamps to create the sentiment for my card, and I went with "Rock, Paper, Scissors?".

I LOVE this part of Breaking Dawn...I giggle every time I read it (I just finished the entire series...for the 14th time...I know, it's a sickness!)

Alice: "I’ll play you for it. Rock, Paper, Scissors."

Edward: "Why don’t you just tell me who wins?"

Alice: "I do. Excellent."

I stamped the sentiment in Versamark and then embossed it with Black Detail Embossing Powder to really make it show up on the patterned paper.

All the patterned paper on my card is the retired Rockabilly from SU! and I added some of Taylor's Tiny Twinkles to my Alice panel and to the top corner panel!

I received an AWESOME award yesterday from Hayley (she is super sweet!!!). Here are the deets...I am honored that she gave this to me!!!

This award is bestowed onto blogs that are exceedingly charming. These bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes cut, even more friendships are propagated. When you receive this award, you have to pass it on to six bloggers, so here goes! I chose these ladies as I am uber inspired by them and am glad to have become friends with them through blogging!
