New digital images to play with

There's a BUNCH of new digital images released today at CDS!  Check out Lori's blog for all the previews and links to the sets.

I was able to color one image and make a set of 3 cards using pre-color images.
My sewing machine had something stuck in it for a few weeks, but finally got it fixed and can sew again!   I'm so happy!

These Antique ornaments used to be a clear stamp set, but now they are digital and with color versions and matching digi papers!  I colored the bird image this time, but I have the images printed and might make some quick cards later this month.  I just LOVE to color when I have the time.  I used some shimmer watercolors overtop the blue and cream areas and it looks so vintagey!  This card is the first project to get the marina mist ribbon... I had to open the roll to use it.  LOOOOOVE the smell of BRAND NEW ribbon.  I think I bought it over a year ago and it had been sitting on the ribbon shelf ALL this time, being completely ignored.  Bad me!

The Holiday nutcrackers was also previously a clear stamp set, but now is available in digital format, with the color versions and matching digi papers!  I just love how festive they look and with bright cheery colors.  I got play with punches!  I knew this set would be so much fun to go through my punch shelf and pick different borders for the nutcracker men.  So many wonderful designs on the papers... this set would almost be worth it to buy JUST for the pretty holiday papers!

Thank you so much for taking some time to visit me!  I hope you are inspired to create something special, whatever images you use.

Some other cards

I do make cards for other things and usually post them on another blog, and sort of forget about it over here.  I made these 2 cards and posted one last week and the other one today.

This first one uses the Old Pistol image and the digital papers in a set called Shoot 'em Saloon paper pack.   Just a fun western style guy card.  I hand threaded the twine thread through holes and tied them in knots on the top, to look like little ropes.
I included a little How-To for the coloring of the wooden floor under the pistol HERE, if you're interested.

SUPPLIES:
Image and sentiment: Old Pistol, Doodle Pantry
CS/paper: 90 lb. Canson watercolor paper, Shoot 'em Saloon Mini Digi Paper Pack, PTI smokey cardstock, kraft cardstock

The next card is using the Poppies product that is featured for the Doodle Pantry Digital Challenge 28.  Just for participating in that challenge per the guidelines, you receive this set for free (within a few days of linking up).
I made this for my mom's birthday, she's in central California.
I had fun with the little die cut flowers!
