This wonderful candy is up for comments on http://marceascraftingcorner.blogspot.com/ . I have been trying to put it on my side bar with the other candies but for some reason my layout will not let me edit. All it does is peep and then tell me pop up window not allowed. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know...it is driving me crazy.
My Husband brought me home this wonderful Thomas Kincade stamp. It was just released and I am so impressed that he found it. I stamped it first in black ink but found it too hard to cover the shading so this one was stamped in Vintage Photo Distress ink. It was much harder to see all the details but much better to paint. I think the next time I will use the Sepia color of versafine ink, it should give better details. Of all the TK images I have, this one has the most detailed shading. The small flowers were done with Jasper Red. I don`t know if you appreciate knowing the colors so let me know. 
I used both Twinkling H2Os and Prismacolored Markers to color this image. The roses were done with Lemondrop and Ginger Peach and White Innessential pen. I say this often but shading with watercolor paint is easy to do...more water gives a lighter tint of the color. The leaves are done with Sweet Alfalfa and Kiwi. The BG leaves were done with Light and Dark Olive Green markers. The bricks were done with Jasper Red and Nutmeg with the cement done in French Grey Marker. The trees were done with markers same as the leaves. The faint trees on the top left was done with Fresh Oregano and the sky is done with Bolivian Blue.
The inside was done with more of the DP . The strip on the left side covers the brads. I only thought of them after I had put the card together so they showed on the inside.
To acknowledge that Winter does not want to leave, I have this Tilda with Bell for some blog candy. Leave me a comment about coloring and I will draw on winner on April 1. No this will not be an April Fools joke, I will send this Tilda out to someone. Good luck to all.
Today I made this card for my great niece Emily, the twin sister of the girl in the hospital. She is missing her sister so much that she deserves a little show of love as well. I used the Teen Lizzy stamp from Whiff of Joy. It seemed like a great card to show love for a pre-teen.
I used my Prismacolored Markers on this gold embossed image. My main colors were Deco Pink, Magenta, Pink, Periwinkle, Navy and light Cerulean Blue. I used the silver spica pen to do the fur on the boots. I used French Grey 20% to create the shadow effect on the outline of the image. The beautiful textured paper is from the Metallic stack from DCWV. It is so great....subtle glow and the texture is so evident.
I attached the prima flowers using 3 different brads. I love the heart shape one. I used the curved mega rectangle nestibility to create the backgrounds. 
The inside of the card shows where I punched two holes in the very center for the ribbon to go through. This is how I attached the inner card made from DP from Provo Craft. I also used the top half of the WOJ stamp and used the mirror image stamp so the image is facing the opposite direction. This works really well with these stamps. The curved layer is also from the Provo Craft.
If you enter please give your entry a number this makes it easier for me to pick a winner on Feb. 4 th which is my son`s birthday. Please start with number 1) next person is 2) and so on. Thank you so much for helping me
Forget the numbering...just not working. I`ll find another way if not I`ll use Random.org.

And Finally...the finished front cover followed by the back outside cover.
I created a small chain on the outside holding a dog charm, fire hydrant and brown buttons. I love the quote on the back.
I had fun doing this but I am glad it is finally done...time to start something new. I bought some great stuff at the sale yesterday so who knows what I will start next. I am thinking blog candy. Check back tomorrow for some news. My birthday is fast approaching and I think its time for me to share some gifts. Come back tomorrow.
Hugs and Good Luck to all

While surfing today I found this great entry: http://iheart2stamp.com/2009/01/08/new-year-new-look-and-lots-of-blog-tart-goodness-for-you/ Its all about helping University students. The rules are there but basically you make a card that can be given to a student for Birthdays etc. I remember how important mail was eons ago when I was in university so I made this card. 
We were asked to keep the inside blank so all I added was a purple frame and of course, a butterfly.
Hey run on over to Michelle`s blog for a chance at this great blog. Here the spot
Isn`t this wonderful. I can hardly wait to play with all these goodies. Thanks so much Bea.
I used my favorite shadow box frame from the $ store. It comes with 2 mats that I used the bayer to cover. This time I used Rose Red ink and left quite a bit of white showing. For the image I used Wishing You Cheer from SU. I masked the snowman and the tree to put in the background snowman. I painted using Spica Pens and highlighted the snow with diamond dust the image really sparkles.
