Spring Roses

Hello MoonFlower fans!  So happy you could join me for a little inspiration.  I have used Ashlee Rose for my project today.  I thought she would make a perfect spring card.

She was colored with Copic markers in a pretty sunny yellow.  I found some patterned paper left from another project that had beautiful roses that I thought made the perfect accent and were a pretty spring color.

You can find all of the gorgeous MoonFlower images by clicking on the link at the top for the shop.  

ValentineTeddy

Oh my gosh!  I can't believe half of the month has gone by already!  Rae Ann here popping in a little late with my dose of inspiration. This card would have been posted on Valentine's Day, so a bit of a love theme this time around

This is Valentine Teddy and the image was colored with Copic markers and cut out with the Silhouette Cameo. I created the wire element by bending the wire into a heart shape and then twisting the extra around a crochet hook. I was so pleased with how it turned out!  A few more embellishments and some of my favorite lace and it was done.  

See you next time!

New Lilly!

Hello MoonFlower fans!  Rae Ann here with your next dose of inspiration using the new image, Lilly Ice Skating.

I decided on some cool winter colors and pulled out all of my snowflake embellishments and decided on these.  Her skates have some silver Wink of Stella and so does her package ribbon. 

Hope you have enjoyed your holidays so far, no matter what you celebrate.  I hope you have a fabulous New Year as well.  See you next time!

The Orient

Hello MoonFlower fans.  Rae Ann here with your dose of MoonFlower inspiration.  This time I went a little Oriental with my project.

This is Little Oriental Lady and she was colored with Copic markers.  I cut her out using the Silhouette Cameo.  She has silver Wink of Stella on her hair jewelry for a little added sparkle.  The paper was a freebie by Tracy Wray and was given to the members of the Art by Miran group.  Unfortunately the group is closed, but you can find Tracy Wray's digital papers at Whimsy Stamps.  I wanted a dimensional cherry blossom branch, so I took some paper raffia and twisted it tightly.  I created some branches with extra paper twist and then added some flowers.  I really like the way it turned out.

I hope you will pop back to see some of the inspiration projects from my teamies.  I know you will love it!

La Bella Muerte

Andreia has done it again!  Look at this amazing image she has created! 

I love all of the gorgeous details of La Bella Muerte.  I colored her with Copic markers.  She has silver Wink of Stella on her crown and the gem on her forehead for a touch of sparkle.  I pulled my colors from the paper except for the red roses.  They just had to be red!  The skulls are so fabulously creepy too!

Until next time!

Spooktacular!

Hello!  Rae Ann here with your dose of inspiration for today using Gina Frankenstein Bride on a project.  I know not everyone celebrates Halloween, but I love it!  So I went with a Halloween theme for this project.

I colored Gina Frankenstein Bride with Copic markers and cut her out using my Silhouette Cameo.  I printed the sentiment.  I kept the design pretty simple because I loved this gorgeous damask paper and didn't want to cover it up.  You can find Gina Frankenstein Bride and a number of other Halloween themed images in the shop.  And what luck!  There is a sale currently underway!

Why not come join us in the MoonFlower Facebook group?  It is a great way to meet other MoonFlower fans, get a sneak peek or two, and maybe even win a prize now and then!  We would love to see you there.

Autumn Gypsy Flower

Hello MoonFlower fans!  Rae Ann here with your dose of inspiration today.  Here in the states we are moving into autumn and I love the cooler temperatures.  I also love autumn colors, but we don't get much of that in my part of the country.  So...my projects have to make up for it.

I used a rich autumn color palette to color Gypsy Rose.  I love this image and now I think I love it even more!  She was colored with Copic markers.  I just love how she looks in these colors!  If you would like all of the details, pop over to my blog.  I have them listed there.

Andreia hasn't been feeling very well.  If you are on Facebook, pop in to the MoonFlower group and wish her well.  We miss having her around and seeing all of her lovely, new creations!  If you are not part of the group yet, just pop in and request to join.  We would love to have you there!

Another Lilly!

Hello MoonFlower fans!  I have some inspiration for you today as well as some news so I hope you are ready!

This is Lilly the Dancing Princess and you can find her in the shop now.  I colored her with Copic markers and cut her out using the Silhouette Cameo.  She is such a gorgeous digi from her amazing eyes and flowing hair to her beautiful layered gown.  She was a challenge to color and I enjoyed every minute of it.

The great news about this image is it is being used in a class at Kit and Clowder that will be offered for just one more day!  Moonflower sponsored the monthly class and if you sign up, you get a coupon code for 50% off of this image.  There is another gorgeous image for the pencils class (this is the markers) so why not sign up for both!  You get a little bit of a discount if you do.  I purchased the class because the class image has a gorgeous sequins layer to the gown.  I NEED to know how to do that!  Alyce breaks down all the techniques step by step so you don't need to be a pro to color this image.

If you take the class, we would love to see how your image turned out.  Pop over to the MoonFlower group on Facebook and show it off!

Ashlee Faery Ball Dress

Hello MoonFlower fans!  I am a little late with my post!  So Sorry!  My inspiration project today uses Ashlee Faery Ball Dress.  I bought her before I joined the MoonFlower team, and I only just now have the confidence to color her up!  She is a gorgeous image!

I colored her with Copic markers and cut her out using a Silhouette Cameo.  Her wings have a touch of sparkle from some Wink of Stella.

Beautiful Sunflower

It is my turn to provide a little inspiration using the gorgeous new release, Sunflower Maiden.  What a beautiful image!

I colored the image using Copic markers and cut her out using the Silhouette Cameo.  I went with softer colors, but she would make a gorgeous autumn card as well.  You can find Sunflower Maiden in the shop now.

MoonFlower Digistamps is sponsoring some activities in the Kit and Clowder coloring group on Facebook.  You should check out what all of the excitement is about.  Especially if you love coloring MoonFlower stamps!

Until next time, happy crafting!

Hail the Queen!

Hello MoonFlower fans!  Rae Ann here with your dose of MoonFlower inspiration.  For my project I used Gigi Queen.  I thought she looked like a fun challenge.

I loved the idea of a black and gold color palette for Gigi Queen.  Then I decided to throw a pop of teal in there for an accent.  She was colored with Copic markers and I cut her out using the Silhouette.  Her cape was colored with Copics first and then covered with gold Wink of Stella.  Her crown and belt also have gold Wink of Stella.  If you want more details about how this card came together, pop on over to my blog.  I have everything listed there.

Pretty Peonies

Hello MoonFlower fans!  Can you believe it is almost June already?!  Half of the year gone in what feels like the blink of an eye!  It seems like I was just posting inspiration for you and now I am back for more inspiration.  I have used the gorgeous new Peony Maiden for you.  I am sure you have seen all of the gorgeous projects from the rest of the team and now here is mine.

I found a pad of these gorgeous die cut floral panels at the local craft store on clearance.  There are so many patterns and colors!  I thought this one would be an awesome backdrop for this fabulous digi.  I made the hat pins myself using some beads I have collected and finished the background with some pearls.  I think she looks so amazing with the pink. If you want more details about how I made this card, you can pop over to my blog.

You can find Peony Maiden in the shop now.  I am sure Andreia has something amazing in store for us next month, so be sure to pop back and see what it is.  You can also join us in the Facebook group so you will know exactly when the newest images are available.  Hope to see you there!

Callas Lilly Faery

Hello MoonFlower fans!  Rae Ann here bringing you some inspiration using an older MoonFlower image.  I decided to use Callas Lilly Faerie this time.  I bought her before I joined the MoonFlower design team and I thought it was time I colored her up!

One of the hardest things for me is to decide on what colors to use.  I decided on the gorgeous teals in the Copic markers and got to work.  Luckily, I had some paper to match!  You can't tell from the picture, but her wings are sparkly.  I think faeries should always have sparkly wings.  If you want more information about how this card came together, pop over to my blog.  All of the supplies are listed there.

Until next time!

New Release - Spring Maiden

Hello MoonFlower fans!  It is my turn to bring you some spring inspiration with this month's release, Spring Maiden.  I love this cropped image.  I think it is absolutely gorgeous!  And she is so much fun to color!

I used Copic markers to color her and kept the colors soft for spring.  I used the Silhouette to cut a butterfly background to match the butterflies in the image.  If you want more details about what I used to make this card, just pop over to my blog.  The list is posted there.

Under the Sea

Hello MoonFlower fans!  Rae Ann here today to share with you my version of the newest release, Lilly Mermaid.  I think she is simply gorgeous!

I took my inspiration from a pretty well known mermaid.  Can you guess who I mean?!  I found myself singing the song Under the Sea as I was working on this project!  If you would like more information about the items used, pop over to my blog.  I have all of the details there.

Faery Locks

Hello!  Rae Ann here.  I am late posting my project for this week!  My days have just flown by and I completely lost track of what day it was!

I chose to work with Ashlee Faery Locks for my project because I thought she would make a pretty spring card.  I have wanted to tackle these curls for a while and I finally got my chance!  She was colored with Copic markers and fussy cut.  If you would like all of the details about what I used for this card, just pop over to my blog.

Meow!

Hello friends!  Rae Ann here to share a little inspiration using the newest release, Lilly the Cat Fairy.  I just love the newest member of the MoonFlower family!

Lilly the Cat Fairy was colored with Copic markers and she just had to have pink!  Not sure why, but that was just the direction it went! Then I found this "meow" embellishment in my stash, and it worked perfectly!  You can find Lilly Cat Fairy in the shop.  I can't wait to see what Lilly will be doing next!

If you want to find out all of the details on what I used on this card, just pop over to my blog.  I won't bore you here!

The White Queen

Hello MoonFlower fans!  Today I am showcasing a recent release in the shop featuring the newest member of the MoonFlower family, Lilly.  This time, she is the White Queen!

I kept to a white and gold color combo.  Her hair didn't turn out quite the way I pictured it, but the White Queen's hair is not easy!!  I will try another time with a different color combo.  Her crown and jewelry have gold Wink of Stella for some amazing shimmer and shine.  I also used the gold Wink of Stella pen on the white flower for the perfect touch of sparkle!  You can find all of the rest of the details on my blog.

Be sure to pop into the MoonFlower Facebook group from time to time!  Andreia previews the new digis and posts the latest MoonFlower news.  You won't want to miss it.

Lilly Snow White

Lilly is the newest member of the MoonFlower family and I absolutely love her sweet face!  If you look closely at her eyes, they are spectacular!  You will see more of her in the coming weeks and I know you will love what you see.  I colored Lilly Snow White similar to the Disney version using Copic markers.  If you want all of the details, just pop over to my blog and take a look.
