Happy Birthday Lillybean! ...Again!

This time last year, I posted a Happy Birthday, Lillybean card.  I can't believe that Lillian's birthday is here again.  Time goes so fast!

My dear friends, Jay and Rachel, and the most adorable little girl.  She turned three a few days ago and her party is tomorrow.  Much like me, Rachel has a tendency to rock the alternative side.  I took the opportunity to use one of my favorite Tiddly Inks digis.  I don't get to use this stamp near as often as I would like!

Using Tiddly Ink's Pinkie, I'm here to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILLIAN!

 

The card base and white frame are, as always, Papertrey Ink.  The pattern papers are Signify Pink.

I colored her using Copics:

Hair: RV10, RV 13, C5, C7, C9, and C10

Skin: E11, E00, and E41

Dress: Y06, W6, W4, W2, and W1

Cake: RV14, RV13, C10, N4, N2, N1

The '3' is a chipboard cutout that I stained pink using Tim Holtz' Worn Lipstick distressing ink.  The butterfly is Flora Doodles.

I'm also submitting this card for the August SFYTT:

Seriously!  So excited to color this stamp!  I love Pinkie!

Thanks for looking!

A Tiddly SFYTT

Just a quick post.  I realized I hadn't yet done the July SFYTT.  What?!  Yea...I know.  

Luckily, I had a Tiddly Inks image that I needed to color.

Say hello to Tiddly Ink's Sweet Dreams Wryn:

I colored her up using Copics.  The pattern papers are Karen Foster Designs. The card base is Papertrey Ink Stamper's Select cardstock.  The sentiment and moon are stamped on SU! Confetti paper.  I sponged the moon using Memento London Fog and added a few splats in the same color.  The sentiment is from Unity Stamp Co's April SMAK kit.

I really adore Wryn!

A Tiddly SFYTT

Tomorrow is my Rizzobear's very first dance recital.  She's been waiting for this day for six months, asking me regularly when she gets to dance on stage.  She's had her stage rehearsal and dress rehearsal and has loved the spotlight.  I used this month's SFYTT to make her a "Happy First Dance Recital" card.

Here is out sketch:

Here is the card I made using Tiddly Ink's Be Bold, Be You Ballerina.  

The card base is Papertrey Ink's White cardstock. 

I colored using Copics.  The Stripes and spots paper are both Simplify Pink and the 'Love, Inspire, Believe' is BoBunny (I believe...?).

Inks are from Stampin' Up!'s 2011-2012 line.

Just a quick post to share the card I made for the March SFYTT.  Sorry to keep this short, but it's been a long day and my bed is calling  yelling for me to be in it.

January SFYTT - The Sky Is The Limit

This month's sponsor for Sketch For You To Try is The Cat's Pajamas.  I got two new TCP kits from Stamper's Ink on my last trip home, including Away We Go.  I haven't had the opportunity to use it, so I was excited for the chance.

Here is the Sketch:

And here is my take on the card:

All of the pattern papers are from DCWV's Kids Paper Pack.  The base us Papertrey Ink's White cardstock.

I colored using minimal copics (C2, C1, R22, R20, V06, and V04).

The ribbon is Celebrate It! Sheer.

All other paper was Papertrey white, distressed with Tim Holtz Fresh Burlap Distress Ink.
