Sparkle & Glitter w/ RSD Part 2, SBBC#75, and LOC #73

I just so happened to get my Part 1 done over at Sparkle and Glitter the Rick St. Dennis EDT Blog in March for the Progressive Challenge that happens for 2 months.  And, was able to get Part 2, for April, done as well...woooohooooo for me!  It is a first!

For those of you who do not know, for Part 1 you must enter the challenge using one of Rick's super incredible images.  There are over 1,000!  And for all types of creativity as well.  For Part 2, if you get your project in on time, you get a FREE image to use for Part 2.  This month was a sweet little thang named Aloha Nui.

I love going to the dollar store and found these magnet boards for sale.  Of course had to buy a bunch and have used....3, including the project for this challenge.  So what if I've had them over 4 years...THEY ARE GETTING USED! 

Now, I am not so cutesy cutesy but had a fun time creating and coloring with this image.  I am also going to enter this into:
Suzy Bee Bloomin' Challenge Blog  - #75 Add Some Spring Flowers
Left of Center - #73 Spots and/or Stripes

Ike's World Challenges #35 DT Post

Ike's World Challenges is onto Challenge #35 - Things With Wings
Join in and enter your winged project to win!
Please see what the WEEK 2 projects are and get inspired.

For this challenge I have used many images from Ike's and you can find them at Ike's Art.  Ike is so nice that we, the DT, get some images that have not been released yet.  So do not fret, they may pop up in the store or can be a FREEBIE that Ike offers with each challenge.  Don't miss out!

Images you can find in the store on my scrapbook page are FACE ON, BOTTLE 4, and THOUGHTS.  Images that I have also used are Witches Cauldron and Not The Sistine Chapel Hands.

Bubbles of Details

Page is from Me & My Big Ideas.  Those witches crack me up!

All images were printed onto Whisper White card stock.
Each was fussy cut and pieced together.

Markers, inks, Aqua Painter, and Copics were used to color in images.
Gold Smooch was spritzed onto the swirl coming out of the cauldron.

Saying is from Macbeth by William Shakespeare:
    "Fillet of a fenny snake,
    In the caldron boil and bake;
    Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
    Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
    Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
    Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,—
    For a charm of powerful trouble,
    Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."

Words were redone in Word, printed out, cut out, and adhered to page.
Marker used to help define.
