BildiSketch002 - Happy Mimosa

For my submission to the Bildi Challenge 02 I chose to use Happy Mimosa. I stamped her on to my cardstock with Momento Tuxedo Black then colored her with Copic's.


Copic Colours:

Skin: E00,E21, E51

Hair: E38, E35, E37

Dress: B000, BV02, BV09, BV17

Grass: YG06, YG03, YG67

I then outlined her dress and the bows in her hair with a clear Jelly roll. I cut some DP I had in the house and then centered her on the card with pop dots.

Please let me know your thoughts. Why don't you play along , I would love to see your work as well.

BildiSketch 002 - Tossa with Little Whisper

Hi Everyone:

I completed the second challange using Tossa with Little Whisper just in time for Mother's Day and my Mother's birthday. I crossed many hurdles to do this card as I am not a girly girl. I have only ever used flowers and the colour pink in class and have never created a feminine card.

To colour her I used Copic markers:

Skin: E000, E00, E02 & R2o

Hair: E55, E57, E15 & E18

Shirt: R20 & R32

Pants: C2, C4 & C5

Cat: C2, C4, C5 & C7

Flowers: R32, R24 & R35

Grass: I used Flower soft

Pearls: Kaiser Craft

And just to sweetin her up I used some Scent My Card: Vanilla

Thanks for stopping by!

Shirt: B91, B95 & B97
Pants: C4, C5 & C7
Tree: E57 & E18
Leaves: G14 & G28

Frolle Frog Fish

Hi All:


My name is Debbie and I am also a member of the Design Team, I look forward to sharing all my creations with you.


For Bildi001 Challenge I chose Frolle Frog Fish. After stamping Frolle with Memento Tuxedo Black ink I coloured with Copics, here is the recipe of colours:


Frog: YG03, G17, YG67 & RV42 for the mouth


Lily Pad: Y08, G05, E35


Bullrushes: E35, E37, E47


Water: B00, B23, B32, B24


Flying Bug: E35, E33, E37, then I added glitter to the tail


Die cuts are done with Nestabilities and then mounted on a couple of colours of cardstock I had. I put two squares on two opposites sides of the cardstock and on the bare spots. I stamped my little fish once again with Memento Black.



Thanks so much for visiting, I look forward to your comments.

Mimosa's Hearts


















Hello All:

This first card is dedicated to my daughter. I am hoping (especially with school starting soon) that will finally fall into some sort of routine and pass out around 9pm instead of her usual 1130pm.

I used water colour pencils and mineral spirits to colour Mimosa Hearts. I used tissue paper to create the green grass background. Lots of stickles for the fairy dust. The rest are odds and sods from my stash.

(Mommy wants to play, please to go sleep)

Mimosa at the Stump

I wanted to share one of my favourite images called "Mimosa at the Stump" with you today. I watercoloured all three cards using waterbase ink on watercolour paper. I thought it would be neat to show three different variations using the same stamp. On the 3rd card I cut out the stump and opted for a bed of flowers just to make Mimosa look different.






Please let me know what you think as comments are always welcome!


Have a wonderful day!
