Lilo's Fun Friday #25

Happy Aloha Friday everyone!

Today's LFF #25 is a card I made for Mary J who was the winner of my 500th post RAK.  I had a lot of fun making this seriously CAS card.  I decided on a shape card since Mary loves to make them.  If you haven't been by her blog you should definitely check it out.  She has some amazing creative talent and awesome creations.  Hope you like it Mary!

I used Sister Stamps, Yoshimi, as she was the perfect size for this small card.  I die cut white cs (Neenah) but left the die on, stamped Yoshimi in the middle, masked her, inked up a Kodomo Inc stamp called Flower clouds with Distress Inks, Stormy Sky, then using the same color distressed the inside around the edge with Stormy Sky and Tumbled Glass.  Once I was done inking up the inside I removed the die and voila a nice white border.  Next I stamped Yoshimi on white cs (Xpress It this time) and colored her up with Copics using soft pastel colors.  You can't tell but the flowers on the fans are the same colors as her kimono.  The rest I left white except light pink line and using my Scor-pal scored some lines on the fan.  I also folded them on the scored lines to make it look like the fans have dimension.  (Well I tried!)  Since I already stamped her on the Neenah paper I fussy cut her including the fans then glued her down.  I used some scrap twine and did another triple loop bow and added a half pearl.  Lovin' this embellishment!  This was all mounted on a pink Tsumugi cs that was cut with the largest Blossom Spellbinder die I have.   All done! :)

Alrighty, I hope you liked my share for today as much as I enjoyed making it.  Can't get enough of these images, they are really too cute and fun to color.  Mahalo for stopping by today, have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!!

Hugs,
Lilo

Lilo's Fun Friday #23

Happy Aloha Friday everyone!!

According to Blogger, this is my 500th post!!  How cool is that?!  Way!!  Well at least for me! ;)  That's a pretty good milestone & reason to do a give-a-way, yah?  So in honor of my 500th post, I am going to do a random draw to one lucky commenter and you will receive a RAK of my choosing.  Please do not post this to your blog, there will be a time limit until tomorrow at noon (PST).  Good luck!!

For today's LFF share I have the second version of the bookmarks that were offered as make and takes at the stamp convention.  It is the exact same bookmark except for the main character, sans the butterfly.  This one was the most popular and we actually ran out of images.  Here is Yoshimi from Sister Stamps:

The colors used are exactly the same as the Cherry Blossom Rin bookmark that I shared on Wednesday.  Here are a couple pictures from the convention with some of the new fans of Sister Stamps.  We were happy to find a couple that already knew about them as well.

Everyone was super excited to see a brand new line of stamps at this show.  We could not keep them on the shelf!  We were not the only ones premiering the Sister Stamps line, our friends at Hanko Designs also had a hard time keeping them on the shelves!

As you can see, they sold out as fast as we did!  And do you see the card in the center of it all?  Well that is a sample by none other than Jenny from Sister Stamps.  It was gorgeous, I wanted to buy it!!  In the second picture is Renate' with some goodies in her arms, HD demonstrator, Lori Lai & owner of Hanko Designs, Norm Yoshida.  We ALWAYS have a good time here.  :)

Well my friends, I hope you liked these snippets of our time at the stamp show.  I will be sharing the rest of the pictures including the make & takes we had featuring images from La-La Land Crafts & TGF, BOTH  were also fan favorites.  For now, I'm going to sign off and wish you all a happy ALOOOOOHAAAA!  Mahalo for stopping by!
