To the Lake - Saturated Canary - TPE260

 

Hey ladies,

Today I have a super cute card for this weeks "Summer Themed" Challenge over at TPE.

I used a digi that I have had for quite sometime from Saturated Canary.

 

 

I colored it with my copics and added lots of Wink of Stella.

 

I used some of my hand dyed seam binding for the bow.  The paper pad is from MME and is called Follow Your Heart-Be Amazing.

Birthday Cake Marci - La La Land Crafts

Hi ladies!

I have another wonderful card to share with you from La La Land's new release!  She is called Birthday Cake Marci and she is too cute!  The challenge over at La La Land is a "Sketch".  Here is my take:

I love her little headband and ruffled tights!  I used MME's Life of the Party paper pad.  The little pleated ribbon around the image just ads that part feel.  :)  The sentiment banner is also new in the release and is called Happy Birthday Banner.

I colored her up with Pro Markers and Copics.  She has a lot of Wink of Stella on her outfit and the cake.  Here are the colors I used on Marci:

ProMarkers:

Skin: Coral, Oatmeal, Sunkissed Pink, Baby Pink

Copic:

Hair: E55, E35, E3, E41, Y0000

Headband/Bows/Collar: BG13, BG11, BG10

Dress/Tights: YG25, YG23, YG21

Cake Decorations: R02, R01, R00

Cake: B0000

Cake Platter: W2, W0, W00

 

She is very vibrant in real life. :)

 

Here's another look at the new release:

Faythe Gives - Tiddly Inks (TPE230)

Hi ladies,

Today I have a card to share with you all for the Pink Elephant Challenge blog's Monday Challenge.  We are asking that you create a card using this photo for inspiration:

 

Here is my take on this beautiful picture.

 

 

I used a digi image called Faythe Gives from Tiddly Inks.  She is so darn cute!  I used the Lost & Found Christmas paper from MME. 

 

I colored her up with copic markers and added some Wink of Stella to all the white parts of her little outfit. 

 

I added a doily from Michael's and a few hat pins and flowers from my stash.  The little bit of lace trim adds such a shabby.chic feel to the card.

Toy Soldier - Kenny K - Songbird Challenge #30

It's getting close to Christmas!  I am so not ready yet!  Time to get it into gear!  :)

The time we have a month long challenge over at Songbird Challenges.  Our theme is "We Wish You a Merry Christmas".  Alot of fun with Kenny K's digi stamps ;).

I used a stamp called Toy Soldier.  She was alot of fun to color.  This image reminds me of the "Little Drummer Boy".  One of my childhood favorite songs.

 

I used Pro Markers for her skin and Copics for everything else.  The paper is from My Minds Eye, Lost & Found Christmas.  I hand dyed some seam binding and added a wooden button to that fun bow. 

 

You can see the Wink of Stella pen in this picture.  :)

 

I used a Spellbinder Label 10 die for the main image.  I distressed around the edges with Broken China and Tea Dye inks.
