OWH Stars & Stripes Challenge Sponsorship

Today we are sponsoring the Operation Write Home Stars & Stripes Blog Challenge!

To inspire you, Jan, the Doodle Pantry Creative Team Member, created this adorable split view card using the new color version of Ant Masquerade.

Thanks for visiting us (again) this week!   We hope you are inspired to play along and join the OWH Stars & Stripes challenge for a chance to win!

Creative Craft Challenge Sponsorship

Today we sponsor the Creative Craft Challenge!  The theme is Button & Bling.

I finally got to color the Fancy Shoe image.  I originally envisioned this shoe in peach and brown colors.  This is a birthday card for my mom this year.  I used Viva pearl pen on the pearls in the image, and then used some pearls and a button in the flower center.
I printed on watercolor paper and watercolored with Tombow markers and a waterbrush.

Here's a close up, but not sure if it shows the shimmer on the shoe pearls.  They look really nice in person.

Thanks for coming by to see us today!   I hope you have been inspired to bless someone with a card today.  Enjoy your week!
