More Cutting Above Inspiration

So yah, winning the Gypsy would be WONDERFUL! But how great is THIS!?! THANK YOU BETTYBEE for this awesome card. Mine didn't turn out quite like yours did. I didn't have all the materials that you had on your tutorial (click here) on the Cutting Above blog, so I improvised with aluminum foil from my kitchen for the swirled tree and simple glitter embossing powder on cardstock and a hole punch for the glitter ornaments. So, it's pretty, but I was convinced that I could do better.... mine just wasn't turning out as nice as BettyBee's did! So here it is again in black, red and silver.... I LOVE THIS ONE!!! The second time's the charm! This card is going to someone VERY special this year for Christmas! BettyBee... thank you again! LOVE the blog, love this card and love that you guys are giving away 2 Provo Craft Gypsies just like the one that debuted on HSN September 24th!!!!!!!!!!

Provo Craft Gypsy winners will be announced October 4th... there's still time to enter! Click here for more info on the give away and a pretty awesome preview of the Gypsy.

Evil Twin

*This is my second post of the day, for my inspiration project for Paper Vineyard, please scroll down.* Ok gang... are you ready for a fun one?!?  This time the challenge over at The Burtonesque Dolls is TWINS!!!  Flip an image to create TWINS!  Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum have NOTHIN on The Burtonesque Dolls BABY!!!  Check it out!  So I couldn't help myself!  I'm so in love with the Pipper new release over at Simply Betty Stamps , I had to reuse her again for this challenge.  I mean, come on.... she NEEDED an evil twin, didn't she?!?  hahahahahahaha!  It's hard to believe that she's the good one!!!  LOL!  I just wish this looked as good in the pic as it looks in real life.  For some reason I just couldn't get a good shot of this.  The row of black roses look perfect paired with that cute skullie.  That skullie is actually a button.  I removed the shank and filled the eyes with red stickles....

Digi Fun

Ok... quick backstory here:  I was in a discussion with a few wonderful ladies the other day regarding my memories of childhood, one of which was my LOVE for the color purple because the object of my affection at the ripe old age of 5 years old was Donny Osmond (well, until he got married...hahahahahha).  So thanks ladies... this one is for you!  Copics used to color this one:  BV000, B41, C0, C1, C2, C4, E41, E42, R20, V01, V04, V09 and YG05.  I also went in at the end and added some glitter highlights using the purple Spica pen.... LOVE THAT!!!  Both stamps used for this one are digi stamps.  The gorgeous fairy princess is Tiddly Inks, Cast Your Spell  and the sentiment is from Create With TLC . *** Sorry about the lighting on this one folks!  I was trying to get a good angle on this so that the sparkle of the Spica pen showed in the pic.  Unfortunately, I lost some of the brightness on the page that I usually look for...
