Crafter's Companion Card

I must say that working with the great
products from Crafter's Companion make
my crafting so much fun. 
I was using Spectrum Noir ColourBlend pencils, Blending
Stumps and Gamsol to color this awesome 
stamped image from the "Time Flies" set.
 Spectrum Noir - Pencil Blending StumpsSpectrum Noir Blending Solution - 4oz Bottle
Working with the pencils is so simple and
they blend beautifully! I added a bit of color 
on around part of the outer image and blended
it out. I added some Gold Spectrum Noir Sparkle
pen to the watch for the touch of bling and 
using a Silver Sparkle pen I gave the chain some glitz. 
I stamped the image an extra time so I could
color and cut out some additional butterflies
to raise up and give the needed dimension.
To finish the watch I used some crystal lacquer
to give my watch face dimension. 
I created my layering using Gold sparkle and
Gold mirror cardstock from Crafter's Companion 
and some black cardstock. Watch for, and shop,
Crafter's Companion on HSN.

Here's my card!

For a perk, I switched the image to the other side
and created my own sentiment, although, I did 
LOVE the sentiment that came with the image. 
You can see it HERE. I colored my image with 
Spectrum Noir Marker and used a SN sparkle pen
and some glaze to bling it up. A couple of layers 
and that pretty much completes my card!

So happy to have Digital Delights as our sponsor this week!

They have great digis, something for everyone
Be sure to check them out!

Here's my card!

How easy was this card??? VERY easy! I printed
that adorable little mouse and colored it with my
Copic marker and fussy cut him out. I embossed
a piece of white cardstock and stamped my 
sentiment. I mounted it on to a pretty piece of silver
sparkle cardstock from Crafter's Companion. I then
added my mouse with mounting tape and used a
bit of Spectrum Noir clear sparkle pen to bling him up!
