I saw this Cordelia card by Beate and I just HAD to try the dabbing technique that she did with her Copics! I don't know if I achieved the effect as well as she did, but it was fun trying....
The main image with the sentiment tab is up on foam tape. Stickles were added to the hair clip, blue sash, shoe buckles, and music notes.
Here's a second card I made last night...
The scalloped oval is up on foam tape an I added Stickles to the hair clip and butterfly wings.
Hope you're having a good Monday!

both are so very precious AND I love your 'borrowed' technque and think you did fabulously....gives a nice focus on the image....always fun to try something new
ReplyDeleteI have to admit Denise,I was in the same funk! I just could not make anything that I liked...could not colour...could not find an image! I am so happy you did up these adorable cards. I love both of these! So soft and so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThese are so adorable, Denise! I haven't stamped much for the last month. It must be the time of year.
ReplyDeleteLove your two new cards but I can't find the stamp you used on the second card. I went to the link you had but couldn't find it. Could you please help me out? I really like it.

ReplyDeleteLoved the 'dabbing' look you did...and it was right up there with "C's"! Mind if I give it a try?
ReplyDeleteOh I just LOVE your pointillism background it gives an image such softness. Great cards girl! No funk any more lady, not that I would have known it before either :)
ReplyDeleteThese are both so fresh and beautiful, Denise! You ROCKED the dabbled effect, girl!
ReplyDeleteAWWW Denise, these are two super beautiful cards! Awesome coloring!!! I so need more PI girls...giggle! Hugs ~S~
ReplyDeleteOh, I have just the last few days like that - nothing seemed to work and I just felt annoyed and frustrated. Funny how it can just "happen" for no good reason.
ReplyDeleteI adore both these cards Denise. Gorgeous, gorgeous colours. LOVE that dabbing technique - really gives the impression of depth. Thanks for link to Beate's card! Have a wonderful day!
Hey Denise - it's hard to imagine you in a funk, but am glad you've gotten it back. These are AMAZING - so darn cute.
ReplyDelete~~hugs~~
Such pretty cards Denise. Love the cute image and your coloring is awesome! :o)
ReplyDeletelove these sweet little images
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful and so beautifully colored, Denise! I need to check out that color dabbing technique. Looks great! I really must get me some of these PI girls! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteDenise, I can't see any stamping funk residue in these cards. They are gorgeous. I think your background looks AMAZING. I love how you added bigger dots to the ground. And your shading? Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love everything you create and am tickled pink that I inspired you! I always leave your blog inspired.
Hugs and smiles
These are so cute, the little girl is so irresistable!!
ReplyDeleteDenise, it's a lovely technique. I like the texture it gives. Now I want to try it. LOL You are obviously out of your funk because both of these cards are Wonderful. ;)Isn't it interesting how we all go through days of creativeness and some are just a lull. Yesterday I had a vision for a card, this never happens to me, so I dug out a note book, so I can doodle them onto paper.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the background!! Mine always looks like confetti, but you've really done such a beautiful job. And I love the paper piecing you've done and the coloring on the butterfly wings on the second card!! Beautiful. I'd say you've gotten out of your stampin' funk for sure!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are as cute as ever, Denise!! Your background turned out fantastic, and your PI girls are beautifully colored!! Fabulous piecing too!!
ReplyDeleteThese are both absolutely darling!!! You are obviously out of your stamping funk.
