A Color Challenge at the 4 Crafty Chicks!

Welcome back everyone!

First of all I want to thank everyone who helped to make the 4 Crafty Chicks' first challenge such a success!  We weren't sure what to expect or how many participants we might have but we sure appreciate each one of you that took the time to stop by and check us out.

I am the hostess this week and I have thrown out a color challenge (you all know how much I LOVE  a good color challenge...:)

I combined it with Annabelle's Bling Sketch Challenge...

Thanks for stopping by - I hope you will join us for this week's challenge ~ you could be the lucky winner of the Golden Egg badge to display proudly on your blog.

A Bit of Metal in The Shabby Tea Room

Welcome back for another fun challenge in The Shabby Tea Room!  A few weeks ago, I found this cool glass bead bracelet in an Etsy shop called Essex Glass and immediately thought it would be PERFECT for an inspiration challenge in TSTR:

So this week's challenge is this: Using this picture as your inspiration, create a project with metal somewhere on it.  Now, it could be a brad or eyelet, it could be metallic paper, metallic embossing powder, metal cord...the possibilities are endless.  And feel free to get creative with your metal - a pop can tab would fit the bill.  :)

This week's sponsor in the Tea Room is Some Odd Girl and do they ever have some cute digi stamps!  And for all you STR peeps, they have a discount on your purchase this week - what could be better than that? 

I found this new-to-me challenge a few weeks ago but haven't been able to play along - until now.  The Bling Sketch Challenge over at Annabelle Stamps Blog is a sketch with a {twist}... use the sketch AND some bling!  HELLO??  Right up my alley!  I liked the simplicity of this sketch and it fit my "Fairy Mae" image perfectly:

Recipe - Stamps: Fairy Mae (Some Odd Girl), Beautiful Kindness (Verve)  Ink: Early Espresso  Paper: Blushing Bride, Poppy Parade, Whisper White  Accessories: Paper piercer, rhinestone brads, striped grosgrain ribbon, Copics, silver metallic cord, button, Spica atyou Glitter pens

I colored her with my Copics and used my glitter pens for her wings...they are so sparkly:
