Girly and I shared my desk today so she could create some cards. She loves to create with my tools and especially loves to use my Copic markers. She knows I'm protective over them so it's a real treat if I let her use them.
Girly got her first design team spot as a Paper Princess for the Paper Temptress! She's so excited about this. You should have seen her face light up when she found out!
She created these two cards using such pretty papers from the Paper Temptress.
She used the glittery black cardstock for her base and she used a white Glimmer paper to cut with the Top Note Big Shot die. She stamped one of the new GinaK Designs sets coming out with the January release called Wishes and Dreams. She colored the images in with Copic markers and added some glitter to the wings and stars.
She did such a great job of staying in the lines and also coloring the outside edge of the Top Note die along the perforation. She mounted this on top of the glimmery black cardstock with pop-dots.
Girly decided that this fairy is most definitely the Tooth Fairy. I think she's right!
Her next card was created using a gorgeous piece of Red Texture cardstock. We both love the look of this. It's all mottled and has a really nice texture to it.
Girly wanted to get a head start on her Valentine's cards so she started with this one.
She adhered a strip of Violet Vellum across her card base. She stamped some of the hearts from the new Happy Hearts set (debuting from GinaK this month) on Solar White columned cardstock with Real Red and Lovely Lilac ink and cut them out and popped them up with some pop-dots.
She stamped the words (from the Happy Hearts set) across the top of her card with black ink.
I think she did an amazing job! Let her know what you think of them. She'd love some comments!
Oh, your tooth fairy card would make anybody believe in her. You have done a beautiful job with both your cards!

That is some gorgeous coloring on the fairy card. I love the blue background with the stars along the top.
Your design of the heart card is fabulous. That is such a great layout to feature these stamps. You really showed them off beautifully!

Hey Girly,
I was visiting your Mom's blog and she linked me here. It's nice to see you're getting an early start with the creativity. Way to go. I don't have kids, but if I did I'd be sure to point them in your direction. You've got some cool ideas. Keep up the great work.
