It's a cupcake, It's a cupcake

It's a Cupcake Inspiration Challenge... #42 to be exact! :)

I love Cupcake Inspiration Challenges... they make me turn on the creative part of my brain and they seem to shake inspiration loose in a different way. Here is the inspiration photo.

I went mostly for the colors and the swirls... my main accessories were the wonderful image called Sunday's Child by Mo and the scattered Prima's. Here is what the inside looks like. The sentiments are from Close to My Heart.

Have a Happy Day! Smiles ~ Brandi

Celebrate

Today I am celebrating My Minds Eye... those awesome people came up with some crazy color combos that rock! Red and turoquoise ~ WHAT! Yep, they went there... and then they added yellow... yes, YellOw.... who would have thunk it? But look what happens when those fabulous colors get mixed together... a crazy happy card! And if you would note ~ I colored the image to match the papers... that never happens in Brandiland... oh no.... normally the image gets colored and then the hunt for paper is ON! Then I get depressed cause the perfect paper is no where to be located in my craft disaster and I toodle off to bed... but not TONIGHT!! This is a good feeling! lol! :)

The fabulous papers can be found HERE at Hope Stamps Eternal ,the image is from the Marvelous Mo at Mo's Digital Pencil, and you can find the magnificent sketch at Lord Have Mercy.

Today's tip of the day... if you happen to purchase the Love Me Do My Minds Eye kit save the description paper in the front of the pack. I chopped it up and used it for three part panel behind my image... :)

Hope your Friday is awesome! Smiles ~ Brandi

Holly ... the Christmas Fairy

I would like to introduce you to Holly if you haven't already met... Holly is a Christmas fairy... a very rare fairy indeed. She needs you to believe in the magic of Christmas....

Holly is a digital drawing from Mo of Mo's Digital Pencil. She has been sitting colored on my desk for many moons now waiting for the right sketch, the right paper, and the right sentiment to come along. This weeks sketch from Friday Sketchers fit the bill perfectly as did the wonderful holiday papers from K&Co and the fabulous digi sentiments from Whimsy Doodles. She was also made for the Mo's Digital Pencil challenge - traditional Christmas colors and the card must be for someone special... The color inspiration also fit perfectly with the Hope Stamps Enternal's Cupcake Challenge... so much fun! :)

I hope you have enjoyed meeting Holly... remember BeLiEvE!!!

Eski"mo" Kisses

Hello party peeps! I decided to mix it up a bit for you today and share some holiday sweetness with you..





This sugarary sweet card (sugararyness created by lots of Shimmerz Spritz and Polar White Flowersoft ~ both awesome products by the way!) was so fun to make! The image is from Mo's Digital Pencil and is called Siku and Shiya. Love them! I colored the image with Primsa, took some more paper out of my special hoarding containers (go me!), punched the snowflakes out of Shimmerz Spritz covered cardstock added some bling and tada...

Wishing you a happy day!

Smiles,

Brandi

The most adorable kitten...

Has an ultra secret identity.... meet Bat Cat! Bat Cat is another new release from Mo. The image is colored with Prisma's and outlined with lots of glitter. The paper is from the Crafty DCWV stack. Hope you are having a wonderful day! I will be back tomorrow with more cards featuring Victoria Case Art Designs. See you then!

Soaking Up the Joy

This image makes me smile and feel content and happy. It makes me think of sunshine, flowers, happiness and of course... Joy. The name of the image is Soaking Up the Joy and it was illustrated by Mo.

My card is based on this sketch from I heart 2 Stamp. Jen has wonderful sketches! All papers are from Basic Grey and Stampin Up. The image is colored with Prismacolor Pencils and the butterfly was spritzed with Baby Breath Shimmerz.

I wish you all a wonderful Sunday! Smiles ~ Brandi

Have You Met Mo?

If not, you really should!

Mo is an amazing artist who makes digital stamps that simply vibrate with life. Meet John... he has a brother and two sisters. You can see them here. The hardest decision you will have to make is choosing which image to buy first! LOL!

Have a happy Friday and a wonderfully blessed weekend! Smiles and Hugs.... Brandi
