Subway art for my lovebug :)

 I try to have someone in mind when I create my DT projects and it usually ends up being my daughter Shianne.  So...this weeks Anything Goes challenge at 613 Avenue Create has the optional twist to use Subway Art.  I really like subway art, it's fun.  I found a free program that let's you create your own called Wordle which is what I used on my project.  Bugaboo Stamps is one of our sponsors this week and I used the image called Bugaboo Brat Bugs.  

Dies by MFT, Impression Obsession, Papertrey Ink.  The image was masked and the clouds were sprayed with Perfect Pearls. I did a little doodling along the edges. Black eyelets and a wire hanger were added at the top.

colored with Copics/Prismacolor pencils, 

Glossy Accents on the Ladybugs and heart

I added the mini hearts with a stamp

Hi again!  
     Our challenge this week at 613 Avenue Create is Anything Goes but the twist is to create a card, gift, etc. for a grandparent or grandchild.  Sunday the 8th was Grandparents Day!  I made a little hanger for my mom to send to my daughter at school.  

We have two sponsors this week:  The Paper Shelter and Shelly's Images.  The sentiment I've used is from Shelly's.

I used Glossy Accents on the word Ladybug and the ladybug wings.  I used Crystal Stickles on the hand drawn trail.  Stop by our "neighborhood" at 613 Avenue Create and see what we've been up to!
Hugs!

Ladybugs & Daisies

Hi all,
This week at 613 Avenue Create I have a new kind of challenge for you.  Our challenges are always Anything Goes but the twist this time is called Create Your Own Challenge.
 

 

Here is my take on the challenge and I used:

Image, Patterned Paper, Solid Color Paper, Die Cut, Glossy Accents, Button, Twine, Ribbon

Our sponsor this week is Fred She Said and the image is from a set called Ladybugs and Daisies.  I colored it with watercolors which I haven't used before.  I think it came out ok.  I used Glossy Accents on the ladybug dots and I made some dots in the center of the flower. I heat set the image and sealed it with with Krylon workable fixative but it still ran.  So that is how I colored the petals...with the printer ink!   

Hopefully you can join us this week!

Hugs,

Kathi

Ladybug for my Lovebug

Hi!
Here's a card I made for my daughter...my lovebug  :)   This is a free digi from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs called Little Lady Bug.  Tricia always has a free weekly cutting file as well!  Her images are sooo cute!  Check them out!

I originally colored her with Prismacolor pencils & Gamsol but I ended up going over the black with a black Copic.  I always do the skin with Copics.  I used blue chalk for the background/shadow but it just does not show at all in this pic.  I used black diamond Stickles on her dots.  I used some old corner rounder scissors, Oval Doily by Cottage Cutz, Fishtail Flags by MFT.

(inside)

I haven't decorated the outside of an envelope in years!  I stippled the clouds with Brilliance Pearlescent Sky Blue and hand drew the lady bug trail.  I mailed it almost a week ago and she hasn't received it yet!  I did seal the back with washi tape so I really hope one of the machines didn't eat it!!

Hope everyone is having a good week!  I'll be back with more this week  :)
Hugs,
Kathi
