Dance - In the Pink Fancy Fold

Welcome to another In the Pink challenge! This time around we are working with fancy folds and I chose to to a do a Z Fold.

The image is from Aurora Wings and I printed it and colored it with copics and then used the Out of the Box technique so her ballet shoe would extend beyond the cut. Since my paper was busy, I kept the card clean and simple and added a little bling.

I mounted the image onto a Spellbinders die and popped the image using a little foam.

Now it's your turn. Make a card or project using mostly pink and this time a fancy fold and upload it using the linky tool on the In the Pink blog. We would love to see what you make and if you need a little inspiration, please be sure to check out the lovely makes from the other DT members while you're there.

Much Happiness

This is a card using another wonderful image from Mitzi (Aurora Wings). I am entering it into the Anything Goes Challenge and the Birthday Challenge on the Facebook Group Page. This image reminds me of Spring and the Cherry Blossoms.

I printed and colored the image with copic markers and then created a frame using two Spellbinders dies. I ran the top panel through my cuttlebug using a linen Impression Plate and I fussy cut the Kanji symbol for "much happiness". I colored the background with a light and dark blue Twinkling H2Os. I also added a tiny adhesive sparkle to the flowers in her hair.

Although I originally made this as a birthday card, I think I will give this one to my husband as a "just because" card. Not too long ago he had taken a business trip to Japan and he really enjoyed the people and culture.

Stardust Birthdays

I made this card using a digital image from Aurora Wings. She is running two challenges - one on her Facebook Group Page (Birthday) and one on the Challenge Blog (Anything Goes) - and this card fits both.

I printed the image twice on a piece of cardstock to create a top and bottom border. I then colored with my copics and added some yellow glitter to the center of the flowers. I used a die to cut out my sentiment and then pop it up across the middle.

I am trying something new. For those of you who use Pinterest, I have created a picture (above) for you to pin that includes the copic markers that I used. I have always tried to list the markers I use because I cannot tell you how many times I see a color combination I like, and the person hasn't listed the colors he/she used. I tend to color from lightest to darkest 99% of the time so I list my colors in that order. As usual, if you ever have any questions about how I made something, please don't hesitate to contact me by leaving a comment here or emailing me directly at cibglazer(at)gmail(dot)com.

I am on a major coloring kick lately and if you follow me on Instagram, you know that I have discovered some amazing images to color from Mitzi Sato-Wiuff. This is one of hers and I will be entering it into the Anything Goes Challenge on her new Aurora Wings Challenge Blog. She also has a Shades of Green Challenge on her Facebook page and I thought I would enter this in both.

I printed the image and colored with copics and then added some green glitter to a couple areas around her head. I cut the image with a Spellbinders die and mounted onto another Spellbinders die cut using dimensionals and then onto my card base.

I hope you will check out some of her images. I will warn you ahead of time that they are not easy to color but for me, I get such a sense of satisfaction when I finish.
