Tellen's Place Wednesday Challenge - All About Me!

Happy Wednesday!  Welcome to another challenge from Tellen's Place.  Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

This week's challenge is "All About Me!"  It is up to you what you would like to create.  Make something that is reflective of who you are.  The only thing asked is that there must be a Tellen's Place design in your creation - past or present.  If you don't have any images, head on over to the store to purchase an image or two or to the challenge blog to see past freebie images to grab.  Be sure to leave a link to your creation on the challenge blog to Mr. Linky.

Owner Terry had her son Markus create look alike designs of all the team members, which turned out awesome! I wanted to create something with my image that wasn't a card.  Below is what I created with my image:

Markus did such a great job with my image.  I don't own a pogo stick nor have I ever been on one, but I love how the whole idea reflects who I am - active.  Active wife and an active mom. :)

The wood frame is from Michaels' dollar bin. :)  I used ink pads from Tim Holtz distress ink collection to color the frame - worn lipstick and dusty concord. The letters are also from Tim Holtz, made of "grungeboard," wonderful material that is flexible and can stand any kind of altering, such as sanding, cutting and inking.  I used the same color ink for the letters and added some Stickles glitter glue - fruit punch to the word "active."  The foam flowers are from Createology.

I colored my image with the following Copic colors:

W3, E39, E00, R20, V15, R37 and the colorless blender

Be sure to check out the other design team's designs. Markus did a super job with their designs as well:

A Touch of Pink, Brown and Beige

Pink, brown and beige are three of my favorite colors.  So when I saw the Copic Colour Challenge colors for this week, I was thrilled and couldn't wait to make my card!

Below are the Copic Colour Challenge colors for this week:

And here is Mojo Monday's sketch to use - either a circle or a square.  Or if I had more time, I would have done both. :)

I love the sketch!  Such a simple, but elegant design. :)

Below is my card:

The pink and brown cardstock are from Bazzil.  The designer paper and buttons are from Basic Grey.  The red and pink ribbon is from May Arts.  The gold ribbon is from my stash.

The image is from Penny Black's Piece of My Heart collection, cut using my Nestabilities Labels die-cuts.  The image was colored with the following Copic colors:

E00, E33 (CCC challenge colors), R20, R85 and the colorless blender

I also added some bling to the cupcake box and tops of the cupcakes with Stickles fruit punch glitter glue.  The ribbon was decorated with The Robin's Nest Dew Drops.

Deadline to submit your entry to the challenge blog is Friday, January 29th at 12pm EST and the winner will be announced before next week's new challenge. Please leave a link to your creation in the comments section to be entered to win.

For this challenge, I used the original cupcake image. Reminds me of my friend's daughter's birthday party last month with her whole theme being cupcakes!

Front of card:



 The pink and green cardstock are from Bazzil. The designer papers are from My Mind's Eye Abbey Road collection. I used my Martha Stewart scallop punch to make an accent border for the bottom of the card. The gold ribbon is from my stash from last Christmas. The green ribbon is from May Arts. The pink and green buttons are from Basic Grey. The pink and green "bling" squares are from Mark Richards. The photo corners were punched with my EK Success punch.

The cupcake was cut using my Nestabilities large circle and circle scallop with some bling using my Sakura glitter pen. The cupcake was colored with the following Copic colors:

RV13, YG03, E35, and the colorless blender

I tried Stickles fruit punch for the stripes of the candle and eucalyptus for the sprinkles. I liked how they turned out. :) I used my At You Spica gold pen for the candlelight.

 Inside of card:



For the inside of the card, I used the same cardstock and designer paper as the front of the card. I used my Nestabilities petitie oval scallop and petitie oval for the sentiment with my Sakura glitter pen. The sentiment is from Hero Arts, inked with Versa Color Petal Pink.

Also, check out my team's creations and leave some love for them!
