Gorgeous Saturated Canary Card!

I think I have mentioned this before on my blog.. I have a love affair with The Saturated Canary images! From the first time I happened to browse past them on Etsy till now, when they have their own website. I love her images so much! I love how each image has really gorgeous features, perfect hair, gorgeous big eyes and beautiful lips! So awesome! They lend themselves to coloring because of the larger features!

Last night as I was putzing around my studio looking for something to do (like I really have to look that hard!) I started leafing through the pile of images I had already stamped or printed out to color! This lovely pile is increasing in size lately and it is almost 3 inches thick now! I really need to get my booty busy and start coloring and making some cards and projects!

Well I came across the gorgeous Saturated Canary image of Belle! Click on her name and you will be taken to the website of Krista who is the fabulous artist who creates the beautiful girls!I just love this image and I decided right then and there at 11pm that this little gal was destined to become a beautiful card right then and there! So, I set off on my task :)

Here is what I came up with!

I used the absolutely gorgeous embellishments from Pro31 Designs. You will find some of Esmeralda's gorgeous flowers and trims on this card! I honestly don't think I could make a card anymore without reaching for some of these fabulous flowers! I used the Square Bling Mesh, the Elastic ruffled organza trim, a porcelain and mulberry flower and then 3  of the 8130 roses in Apple Green, Ivory and Mauve( more rusty colored) Each flower was topped off with some vintage photo and sprayed with my homemade glimmer to make the sparkle!

 I colored Belle with a Mixture of my Copic Markers and my Spectrum Noirs! I will include a break down of the markers at the end of this post!

I just absolutely love this sentiment stamp. I picked this up many many moons ago and I believe it comes from The Angel Company. I wish I still had to original packaging because I would definitely check to see if it was still available. It really represents how I feel some times!

You will find the links to items I used below in the linky list! I am going to try this out so that you can see an image of the item directly from the website. We will see how it goes :)
First up the Markers :) 

Graphic 45 Olde Curiousity Shoppe Mini Album

Who doesn't love some Graphic 45! I know I sure do! The Olde Curiousity Shoppe is such a great collection! So many little images in the designer paper, great for fussy cutting! I really enjoyed using it to create this album for my partner in our Design Team swap at Pro31 Designs! I really hope my partner Kim loves her mini!

So lets get right too it shall we?

Here is the cover. I used Pro31 Designs flowers throughout the entire mini album as well as alot of Tim Holtz goodies! 

I love the cute "pigs flying" paper! The teals go so well with the rust colors and the browns! Lots of flowers and a wheat spray! I did a ton of fussy cutting and using images that come with the paper collection! I tried to make sure there were pockets and photo mats and journaling tags for each page in the mini! Even though it is small there is a lot of real estate!

I love using designer paper to create little places to tuck journaling or pieces of ephemera! I recieved that vintage looking postage from my friend Khouloud in a Rak! It comes in a tin with a ton of other stamps and postage items! 

I had to add in some of Esmeralda's burlap trim and some lace as well! I used my Big shot and a sizzix tag die to create the tags that are tucked into the pocket! I tied them off with some twine!

There is some more burlap and gorgeous flowers on these two pages of the album as well! Even another wheat spray! Those things are so handy! 

I added a movers and shapers Tim Holtz dress form and a My favorite things Die-namics birdcage die cut to this page! Love the bird on the Design paper that is holding a sign that says "Carter's Little Liver Pills" My mom used to have a saying about Carter's Liver Pills :)

The last page is similar to all the rest! Lots of places for journaling or photos! I added some bling to this page and a cute butterfly punched with my Small Martha Stewart Butterfly punch! 

I hope you have enjoyed looking at the album I have created! It was definitely fun and I enjoyed it all! If you would like to check out the video, as soon as it is loaded you can find it right below here! Thanks for stopping bye and I hope you come back soon!! If you have any questions about any of the products that I have used please leave me a comment!
