DT post for Little Blue Button Stamp

Hello ladies it is Marla H. (craftymarla.blogspot.com) and Marla H. on YouTube here for my DT day.  I chose to use Watering plants Ivy for my first card.  This is an adorable summer time image and so fun to color.    I chose a white 5 X 7 cardstock base.  I then added a piece of Pink Paislee pattern paper from the Spring Jubilee line that I got in a RAK to the base of the card.  I then adhered a Webster's Pages journaling card to the top left hand corner of the patterned paper.  I used my Grassy Edges My Favorite Things die to cut out some green cardstock and adhere to the bottom of the card.  I cut out the Greeting Farm fence die with some dark brown cardstock and added it in between the two layers of grass die cuts.  I colored the adorable Ivy with my markers, the list will be below the photo. I added waterfall stickles to the water drops.  I also added Spiced Marmalade stickles to her hair bow and flower on her hat. I used a technique on her hat to give it added texture that I learned from Amadoreros on YouTube.  It is to use some Copic blender refill or alcohol blending solution on a piece of paper towel and just dab it on the colored hat.  I really like the way it gives it more of a straw like texture.   I then added 3 small flowers that I purchased online in the bottom right hand corner of the card.  TFS

Markers Used:

skin= Ivory and Satin promarker

hair = Y02, Y04, Y11

dress, bow and hat band= YR02, YR61

shoes= E59, E47

hat = E21 and E31

water can= Metallic silver sharpie

  

I used a white 5 X 7 card stock base.  I added a piece of patterned paper from My Minds Eye dwell to the card front.  I then cut out a banner of another piece of paper from the same collection and adhered it to the bottom of the card. I then glued on a Prima Lyric wood button to the banner.  I glued a Webster's page journaling spot card to the right hand side of the card with another journaling spot from Echo Park tucked in behind that.  I die cut the Well Worn Greetings My Favorite Thing die from another piece of the My Minds Eye "Dwell" patterned paper.  I took the Love Sentiments2 from Little Blue Button Stamps and die cut the sentiment with another one of the Well Worn Greetings die from My Favorite Things.  I inked the edges of the sentiment with peeled paint distress ink and glued to the other label die.  I colored up the adorable jar of hearts image with my markers.  The colors will be listed below the photo and then I added some frosted lace stickles to her belt and hair bow.  I added peeled paint distress stickles to the heart in her hair.  I then added some glossy accents to the jar to make it look more realistic.  Thanks for looking

DT day on Little Blue Button Stamps Blog

It is Marla H. here for my DT day and I chose to use the adorable Miss Lily Cup of Tea for my two cards.  I used some beautiful BoBunny C'est LaVie Collection that was given to me by Lydia (Itripledogdareu) on Youtube in a RAK.  I used  a white 5 X 7 card base and added a couple of different pieces of the patterned paper to the base.   I then took a piece of vintage lace from my collection and added it to where the seam of the two papers is.   I colored up the adorable Miss Lily with my Copic markers.  I used YR00, E50 and E53 for the skin.  I used E89, E47 and E79 for the hair.  I used some Ditto glitter glue on her shoes and hair bow.  I also added some glossy accents to her eyes and the tea.

I cut out a small table with my Silhouette cutting machine and then I placed a Kaisercraft wooden tea cup on the table.   I used a sentiment from a Sweet and Sassy stamp set.  

The second card for today was made using the same image.  I also used the very same paper pad.  I chose to use two different pieces of patterned paper again which I adhered to my 5 X 7 white cardstock base.  I used a beautiful vintage piece of heart trim from my stash where the seam of the papers was.  I then added a doily from my stash to the center of the card.  I colored up Miss Lily using my markers.  I used my ivory and dusty pink Promarker for the skin.  I used E11, E13, and E15 for her hair.  I used BG72 for the mug and added some glossy accents to the tea part.  I used R56 to color in her dress, bow, and shoes.  I then added some stickles to her shoes and bow.  I punched out a circle using my Fiskars circle punch on the patterned paper and stamped a sentiment from a Fiskar stamp set.  I then inked the edges of the circle with Tim Holtz aged mahogany distress ink and placed it on the doily.  I then took a couple of Studio Calico butterflies that I received in a RAK from NurseLarelle on YT.
