2nd Day of Rusty Pickle Digi New Releases

Hello to my fellow stampers and Happy Tuesday!!!

Today is the 2nd day of our Rusty Pickle Digi's new releases and I have a card to share with you. I chose this beautiful coneflower image to preview, It reminded of the beautiful purple coneflowers I used to have at my old house. It also looks a lot like the Black Eyed Susans I had in that same flower garden. I know different people have different names for some of the same flowers, this is just what I have always called the purple and/or yellow flowers like these in the card.



I pulled out a package of Bazzill monochromatic purples for this. The image is colored with copics and the Atyou Spica markers with the BEST sparkle. Close to the center of the flowers I also used some Smooch Pearlized ink in Grape Soda. Two of the paper pieces are embossed with a Cuttlebug folder, the tag and oval dies are Spellbinders and the border punch is from Martha Stewart. That cute little thank you sentiment stamp with the tiny heart inside the O is from Heidi Grace.

The shine and sparkle of the image does not show well in a picture, but it looks great in person. Some of the other ladies on the Design Team have cards to share with you today, I will be back with that list in a bit. If you want to check now you can click on the names on my Rusty Pickle Design Team list to the right of this post.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for coming to my blog today, please leave a comment so I know you were here. Hope you have a wonderful day and tomorrow I will be back with my last of the new releases.

1st Day of New Releases at Rusty Pickle Digital Delights

Hello and Happy Monday!!
Today I am so glad to show you my creation made with one of the beautiful new releases from The Rusty Pickle Digital Delights.
We are going to have 3 days of new releases and today is only the 1st. We have some wonderful floral images to share with you. I made my card using this new digi



I wanted to do something with this image that I can only do very easily with a digital image. I printed the image out on my cardstock for coloring, then printed it on the green cardstock. After that I resized it so that it was a little smaller than the 1st one and printed a few of those to be colored also. I decided to make a little "bouquet" with the image and cut out three of the smaller flowers after they were colored and added them with pop dots to give them some dimension. Then as I cut the images with my Spellbinders dies I made sure to line them up so the stems would match the way I wanted the dies positioned on the card. Here is my end result

The papers, cardstock, sticker and ribbon are all from Close To My Heart. I colored the flowers with copics, the pearls are Kaisercraft and I used a Martha Stewart border punch.

Remember you still have time to complete a card for our Tart and Tangy Tuesday Challenge from last week. For more info on the challenge OR to get this great new image you can go visit the Rusty Pickle site by clicking on my banner to the right. Be sure to check out the other listed Design Team members that have new releases today also. Thanks for visiting, have a GREAT week and I will be back tomorrow with another New Release.

It's Tart & Tangy Tuesday with The Rusty Pickle Digital Delights Design Team!!

Hello and happy Tuesday!! I'm so happy to be doing my 1st Tart and Tangy Tuesday with The Rusty Pickle Digital Delights Design team!! The challenge this week is to make a card with a Rusty Pickle Digital Image and also use the colors Cameo Coral, Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue. These colors are from Stampin Up! and if you don't have them you can use whatever you have that is closest, which is what I needed to do. After my 3 years with Close To My Heart I have cardstock that I tried to match. Here is what I came up with as an example....


My image is called a Castle For Any Princess and I fell in love with it right away!!! It's so different than other stamp image castles I've seen, so I had to have it right away. With the colors this week I decided to make a little scene with a blue sky and a green rolling meadow. The green is actually cut from a Quickutz cloud border die that I flipped and made into grass.
The blue sky is embossed with a cuttlebug folder for texture and the tag is a Quickutz die also. I colored my image with Copics and Atyou Spica glitter markers and some of the parts are paper pieced with the pink paper covered with the glitter markers. It sparkles much better in person.
The two word stamps are Unity, the flocked rub on is Heidi Swapp and the rectangle tags are spellbinders.
