Penguin ~ Peace, Love, Snow

I'm here today with my Spotlight project for Kitty Bee Designs. 
I chose to work with this cute winter penguin.  He was colored with Copics and Prismacolor pencils.  Of course I added Stickles!  I used Spellbinder oval and oval scalloped dies, the tag is from MFT, mini heart by Lawn Fawn and the little cloud is an Impression Obsession die.   The sentiment is also from MFT.  The heart embossing folder is from Cuttlebug.

Come join us at Kitty Bee Designs Aloha Friday Challenges.  You still have 1 week to enter.
Thanks for stopping by!

Good Luck Panda

Hi everyone,

I'm using Lucky Bamboo Panda for my spotlight at Kitty Bee Designs .  This adorable image was colored with Copics and layered on a Memory Box die. The Asian inspired paper is very old and from my stash.  Mini flag die and good luck sentiment are from My Favorite Things. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Summer Fun

Hi all,

I'm running a little late with my Kitty Bee Designs project!  This was one of those projects that I had a great idea to make a Christmas ornament with sand, shells and sea glass but that just didn't happen. Instead I have a card for our Summer Fun theme for the Aloha Friday Challenge.  You can find Kitty Bee images on Etsy HERE.

The sea turtle was printed on watercolor paper where I used the saran wrap technique.  Shading was added with Copics.  The sentiment stamp is by My Favorite Things.

I put him on an action wobble and bent his fins upward so it looks like he's swimming!

I like the way it turned out even though it wasn't my original vision.  Stop by the Aloha Friday Challenge to see what the other DT ladies have created.  Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs,
Kathi

Be Mine

Last one I promise!!  LOL!  Yes this is my 5th project for our challenge at 613 Avenue Create. This Melonheadz Illustrations image is a freebie called...well...Owl!   It is a pre-colored image which I fussy cut, popped up with foam dots and put some Stickles on his heart.  Sentiments are from the Notched Tag set by MFT stamps.  The dies, ink and Berrylicious paper are also from MFT.  Our optional twist this week is to add some doodling which I added at the bottom of the mini milk carton.  I tried to make a heart beat but I'm sure it's not accurate! LOL!  

Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs,
Kathi

Get Well

Ok so here is my 4th Melonheadz Illustrations project for our challenge at 613 Avenue Create.  Our optional twist this week is to add some doodling which I've done around the edge of the card to match the image.  The image is called Bandaid from  Lori's Medical Bundle.

I used the Cuttlebug Cross My Heart embossing folder, mini sentiment from the Notched Tags set by My Favorite Things, fussy cut the heart and bandaid then popped them up with foam dots.  Stop by 613 Avenue Create for some excellent inspiration form the DT ladies!

So here's my final post for our Block Party at 613 Avenue Create.  Come join us for a new challenge called 1,001 Techniques, prizes and a fun DT Trivia game!  I've also created a card using another one of our sponsors this week Chubby Mermaid
Diane's images are very detailed and I love them but this time I cropped the yoga girl from the main image so I could make a more CAS card.  The techniques I used are the
Bokeh Technique, stamping, Copic coloring, fussy cutting, bow tying.  I really like the technique and will be playing with it more.  Click the link to go to a tutorial.

Stop by our neighborhood at 613 Avenue Create and join our challenge...how many techniques can you incorporate into one project?

Hi Everyone!

I'm here with this weeks project for 613 Avenue Create and the optional theme is: 

SIGHTS, SOUNDS, SMELLS OR TASTES OF SUMMER.
What makes you think of summer?  The smell of rain on the hot pavement?  The sweet taste of watermelon?  The sight of a beautiful sunset?  The sounds of children laughing and playing?  Well here is my interpretation, I've used the Girl on Her Bike image from Lee's Digi Shop.

 Supplies:

dies - MFT, QuicKutz, Memory Box

sentiment - MFT

coloring - Copics

technique - paper piecing

misc - vintage seam binding

Challenges I would like to enter:

 

 

Got Candy?

My last candy project for our Anything Goes Challenge with the optional twist of Candy Treats at 613 Avenue Create.  Our other sponsor this week is Lacy Sunshine Stamps.  I used an image called Bubble's Gumballs.  Colored with Copics, Wink of Stella shimmer brush and dies/stamp by MFT.

Well that's it for this weeks challenge!

Kathi
