Candy Corn Fairy

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog today

I am sharing a DT card I made for the Mid Inspiration over at Kitty Bee Designs

It is Mid Inspiration time for our current Aloha Friday Challenge

#82 - Orange and Black

Here's my card...

Our sponsor for this challenge is...

Aurora Wings - http://www.aurorawings.com

or

I am using the Candy Corn Fairy found in the Etsy shop HERE

I colored the image using the following Copic markers: B00, B02, C-0, C-3, C-5, E000, E00, E02, Y000, Y15, Y35, Y38, YR02, YR04, YR07

I layered a A2 white cardstock with black and orange patterned paper.  I cut from my Circut a scalloped edge.  The image was trimmed and layered on orange cardstock

I finished my card with an old Happy Halloween sentiment from my Close to My Heart days as a Consultant.  I then added black twine bow and some orange bling

You have 1 more week to join us for this challenge - I'd love to see your Orange and Black creations

Thanks for coming bye today - Karen

Don't be afraid to SPARKLE...

It's Mid-Inspiration time for Aloha Friday Challenge over at Kitty Bee's

Challenge #80 - Scraps (use a minimum of 3 patterned papers)

Here's my card...

We have two really great Sponsors for this challenge

Alicia Bel

and

Ppinkydolls

For my Design Team card I am using this cute image from Alicia Bel called Butterfly Faery

I started with a white cardstock base and added a layer of pink patterned paper on top. 

I then colored my image using my Copic markers in the following colors: B00, B02, BV02, BV31, E00, E02, RV10, RV13, Y00, Y08

I used a circle die to cut around the image and mounted onto the card.  I added a sentiment banner and used 2 patterned papers to layer additional banners over a thin strip for my third patterned paper.

I finished the card with white gel pen hi-lights on the image, glitter on the wand and some pink adhesive rhinestones for that bit of SPARKLE!

I hope you will join us for the last week of Challenge #80, its a good way to use some scraps.  Head on over to the BLOG and check out the rest of the Design Teams inspiration and come play along with us.

My card base is 5.5" x 5.5" using sky blue cardstock from my stash

A yellow ribbon/bow finished the card

This would be a great card for a friend going through tough times, who may need a word of encouragement, I love this saying

My card was finished by adding a sentiment to the lower section, blue flowers with pink brad centers, and a blue ribbon bow.
