LET IT SNOW!! Round #5 of the Unidentified Image swap was hosted by Jeanette Cloyd (Forest Ranger). The image she used fit in SO well with this season - the image is from Darcie, the set it is from is Peekin' Snowman. I used Copics to color my image - B00, E29, E40, G29, R46, RV10, V12, Y17, and YR04. I also put clear glitter glue on the snowman, snow falling, and snow on the ground. DP with snowflakes on it is in the background, then a shape was cut with a template on Bazzil Cardstock that had raised dots and was placed on the background. The image was then placed on the shaped piece. An area of the card is cut off, so the front is a " flap" on the end. The Cardstock used for the card is PTI White. Under the "flap" is a small piece of light blue Cardstock with raised white dots (resembling snowflakes) on it. Then, I placed a glittery ribbon down the center, placing on the ribbon a saying Jeanette had sent us. ENJOY!!

Oh, this Unidentified Image Swap #3 has been such fun! Since I've been hostess this round, I get everyone's cards!! Anyway, Here is the card I made. The image used is the House Mouse image, Take Time to Smell the Flowers. I used Copics to color the image - colors E000, E31, E71, G10, and RV14. I framed the stamped image with dark green cardstock; then used DP with one side cut out with Nestabilities, and the other side as the background piece.Foam pieces were used to make a more defined layered look. Also, a small flower was used on the stem of the image, with the flower colored with RV14. Cardstock used for the card was SU Daffodil Delight.

This round, the Unidentified Swap was hosted ny Kelly Santi. The image Kelly sent us to use is from Kraftin' Kimmie stamps, and is called "Florence". So cute!! And what a perfect image for this time of year! I colored "Florence" with Copic markers, I used the following: E000 for skin; E29, E18, and E25 for hair; RV09 and V01 for the dress; V04 for the hairband; V17 & C7 for the sunglasses; and RV23 and V01 for the socks. I cut the image out after coloring it, and placed it on sandpaper to imitate the beach sand. DPs are layered in back of the sandpaper, and I used Crystal Effects on the sunglass lenses. The phrase was stamped with Rich Cocoa Memento Ink on Neptune CS, and was then placed over We R Memory Keepers Baker's Twine. Also, the image and phrase were elevated from the CS using foam tape, to help with the 3-D effect of the card. Enjoy the beach!

I made this card for the 1st of the Unidentified Image Swaps. Barb (barbaralynn - SCS) sent the same images to all of us in teh swap - this was interesting to see how each person did their card.
The image she sent us was from GinaK, from the set Spring Has Sprung.
I colored the image with Copic Markers. The duck is colored with Y04, the bill is Y17, and the inside of the mouth is colored with R24.
The water is colored with BG01.
The umbrella is colored with R46, the handle of the umbrella is colored with C9.




I used a circle cutter with a scalloped edge to cut the one side of the image in scallops, the Bazzill cardstock I used underneath is cut the same way. Straight edges to the remaining 3 sides.
The Cardstock from Bazzill was also used with my Cuttlebug folder for the area of raised dots.

The phrase I used I thought was fitting for this image. Ribbon was cut and placed under the phrase, as well as SU ribbon was used over the cardstock and d/p to cover raw edges.
