Deliver Me by Nora Blansett

Happy Friday y'all.  Emily here with some inspiration using Nora Blansett's Deliver Me image.

I am sorry for the glare, but I cannot get it to photograph without it.  I even tried scanning it and that was worse.  I used Sakura Glitter Gel Pens to color in this image and it made it super sparkly.  The background paper is Colorbok and has a peacock feather on it.  The flowers are Recollections.  I used Colorbok card stock for the mats and card base.

Thanks for stopping in today to see what the ladies at the Royal Castle have been up to.  Thanks Nora for such a lovely image to work with.  Check out our Facebook page too for more inspiration.

Thanks,
Emily T.

Let's Revisit

Happy Friday, QKD fans.  Emily here with a card from last year that features a Maigan Lynn image.  I just love her designs.  They are so beautiful and artistic.  They are also very versatile.  You can make them "cute", "creepy" and every where in between.

This beautiful stamp is Edith and can be found in the QKD store.  I made a Twisted Easel card to showcase this image.  I used my colored pencils and OMS to add some life to Edith.  Using traditional Halloween colors, I put together this adorable card.

I hope y'all have a great Friday and don't forget to check out the Queen Kat Designs Shop.  You will find this and other wonderful images from a great many designers.

Finally Friday with Kathy Cyr

Howdy folks. Emily here with another Finally Friday card.   Sorry for being a tad late posting this. It's been a hectic week in here in NE PA.  Today I have another card for you using a Kathy Cyr image.  I love this cute Christmas Morning image.

Her and her feline companion look like they are ready to dig into those presents.  She is such a fun image to work with.  You can find her in the QKD Store.

I printed off the image on Neenah White card stock and colored the image with colored pencils and OMS.  I used some Sakura Glitter Gel Pens for the presents and the decorations on the tree.  I picked some DPs from my stash from a couple Christmases ago.  The sentiment is one I have had in my stash since I first started making cards.  The image, DP, and sentiment are matted onto a nice Christmas Green and the whole thing is on an Old Olive card base.

Thanks for stopping in today to see what we have created using the wonderful images from QKD.  Have a wonderful day.

Finally Friday with Emily

Hi stampers.  I hope y'all are enjoying your Friday.  Emily here with a card I made using the Teddy Ornament from Sandra Caldwell.   Did you know that there are only  159 days til Christmas.  Yep, the countdown is on.  I hope to be done with my shopping by Thanksgiving at the latest.  No more Christmas Eve shopping for this girl.  

I wish I could find an actual ornament like this one.  It would so be right on the front of my tree.

I printed out this little guy on Neenah card stock and colored him with colored pencils and OMS.  I used my Cutterbee scissors to fussy cut him.  After putting together the front of the card with DPs from Recollections and DCWV, I punch a hole to make it look like he was hanging from the card.  I didn't want a lot of embellishments on this card because I wanted that cute little bear to shine.  I added a bit of ribbon from my stash and some gems from Mary Englebright?  I think that's how you spell her last name.  The entire card is on a SU Old Olive card base.  

I hope you enjoyed your Friday stop here at Queen Kat Designs.  Have a wonderful weekend.

Christmas in July

Happy Friday everyone.  Emily here to showcase a really cute stamp by Kathy Cyr.  I love this image.  It's so sweet.

I used a new medium this time..Soft Pastels.  They worked really well for blending and shading, but just not so well on an intriquite image like this.  I used my Sakura Glitter pens to add some sparkle and shine to the card.  The CS is Colorbok and the DP is The Paper Studio.  The sentiment and little holly stickers were from my stash.   I hope that you guys enjoyed your eye candy for today.  Take a look in the store and see what new and beautiful images we have there.  Have a great weekend!

Changes

Good Morning Everyone! So great to see you today. I would like to share a card that I created with an image drawn by Nora Blansett: I created this card by: 1) Using shiny card stock and streaking it with momento inks in silver, copper and a shimmering white. 2) Printed out my image and did just a bit of coloring with my metallic pens and inks. 3) Used bling from the Tim Holtz line and a bit of glitter card stock on the bottom. Although, you can't see much of the DSP it is full of gears. You can see more of Nora's line at the Queen Kat Design store or by clicking HERE Have a great day and I will be seeing you soon. SueH.

The Serpent

Good Morning Everyone! Love this sunlight in the morning. Here is a card where I combined a few different techniques to create THE SERPENT. So here she is: The artist who made the design is Maryanne English. Her stamps can be found at Queens Kat Designs or simply click HERE. I made the card as follows: 1) Stamped image using Momento Ink because I printed on Shiney Card stock for part of the design (tail). 2) Used the shiny cardstock and my alcohol inks to create her tail. This gives you such a great blending effect. 3) Stamped design again and used pastels, metallic ink, markers and glitter pens to complete her look. 4) Paper is from Queens Kat Designs, except for the solids that are from my leftover Stampin up stock. 5) Decorations: Stole from a flower arrangement for the seaweed and purple leaf. Used real shells that I gathered at the beach and finally a ships wheel with a rhinestone and a few more in the corner for luck. I hope you like my design and the possibilities are endless as to what you could do with her! Have a wonderful day and see you soon. sue H.
