Jewel

So...I have been doing this for a while now.  When I saw that Emerald Fairies was sponsoring the Creative Knockouts this week, I was surprised to know there was a digital stamp company that I actually hadn't heard of yet!  I popped over to the shop and immediately fell in love!  These stamps are so adorable!

I would like for you to meet Jewel.  Isn't she just the sweetest?!  She was colored with Copic markers.  She has clear Wink of Stella on her wings because a fairy named Jewel MUST sparkle!

The theme for this week is Winged Wonders, so anything with wings will work: fairies, bugs, birds...heck even an airplane!  If you play along, you have a chance to win a prize from Emerald Fairies.  Click the badge below to pop over and see the rest of Jewel's darling family.

Fairy Thoughts

Hello!  Welcome back to another Li'l Patch of Crafty Friends challenge.  Our challenges are anything goes, so pop into that crafty space and give the challenge a go!

I have used Hidden Fairy from The Stamping Boutique for my project this week.  She was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette.  Once I started using the blue markers, I wasn't sure I would find any paper in my stash to match.  Considering my stash, I guess I shouldn't have worried.  I found the perfect color scraps and got a few more out of my scrap basket.  I have been a fan of The Stamping Boutique for many years.  I love the twinkles that Tracey adds to her designs.  You can always tell them a mile away!  I didn't have a flower to match my bold blue, so I colored a white rose with my Copic marker and spritzed it with blending fluid.  And there you have it: a matching rose!

Our sponsors this week have been so wonderfully generous.  Wait until you see the prizes in store for you!  You can click each badge below to do a little shopping and wish list making.

Thinking of You

Welcome back to a new challenge at the Corrosive Challenge.  This month the theme is lots of layers.  We want you to pile them on!

I used Pretty Girl from SLS Lines.  I even layered my embellishments!  Your layers don't have to be extra fancy, they just have to be there. =)  My sentiment has 5 layers, and my image also has 5 counting the background paper.  I colored the image with Copic markers and cut it out using my Silhouette Cameo.  The sentiment is also a Silhouette cut file that was filled and printed instead of being cut.

We have two awesome sponsors for you this month. You can click the badges below to pop over and check out the shops.

Let's see all those layers!

Fairy Sweet

Hello!  It is time for a new challenge at the Crafty Sentiments challenge blog.  Our challenge this week is something with wings.

I chose to use the stamp Isobel - Flower Fairy for my project.  Isn't that just the sweetest face?  She is colored with Copic markers.  I used a die from Paper Smooches Dots and Dashes set to create the border around the image.  I have had the background paper forever and was so excited when I found it in my scrap box.  I always color first and look for paper later.  Sometimes it is really hard to find something that matches.  Luckily, not this time!  The lace I have used on this card is from Finland. Last October we went to visit our son who is currently living there.  We found an amazing craft store with tons of this beautiful lace.  I have been hoarding it since then, but finally brought myself to use a piece of it.

You have a chance to win some lovely Crafty Sentiments prizes, so I hope you will all come play along.

Cuttlebug Mania has a May Flowers challenge.  Isobel loves flowers and is going to visit that challenge.

Dream Valley Challenges has a ribbon, lace, and pearls challenge.  Isobel is going to go look at all of the pretty ribbon, lace and pearls in that challenge.

Hiding in My Craft Room has a scraps challenge.  Isobel wants to see all of the scraps everyone used in that challenge.

Thinking of You

Hello everyone!  Welcome back to another challenge at the Crafty Gals Corner.  This week our challenge theme is Love Is in the Air.  Valentine's Day is on the way and we want to see your projects with a little love.

I used Analiese by Nikki Burnette and colored her with Copics.  She was cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  All of the papers on this card are from The Paper Temptress.  She has so many amazing papers.  If you are a paper hoarder collector like I am, you need to pop over to her website.  I used a piece of Cryogen White for the base card.  I would normally save this for coloring, but it was too small to fit through my printer.  The shimmer of the Cryogen White makes the perfect background for the Laser Silver Lustre background paper.  I was lucky enough to attend the Kit and Clowder craft retreat in Orlando and received a goody bag of papers from The Paper Temptress.  The Laser Silver Lustre paper was in there!  The red is a scrap of Red Pepper Thick Columns that I had left from previous projects.

We have three wonderful sponsors for you this week.  Click the badges to pop over to each shop to see what they have to offer.

Shhh...It's a Secret

I created this card for my daughter.  I plan to send it to her sometime during the semester.  It is colored to look like her and our kitty.  Since the challenge this week is Anything Goes this week, it fits the theme perfectly!

I used A Girl and Her Kitty and colored it with Copics.  She loves purple, black and grey so that was the inspiration for the color scheme.  I was able to use up several scraps and create a card that fits her personality perfectly.

Playing at the Playground

Whew!  It has been an exhausting weekend for me!  Our team hosted a girls hockey playoff tournament and I was at the rink all weekend!  I didn't think I would have time to play at Pike's Playground, but it looks like I will make it by the seat of my pants.  The challenge this week was to bling it up.  I hope pearls count as bling!

The bottom panel is actually a piece of craft metal that I embossed.  I turned the flash off, because I couldn't get a good picture otherwise.  I colored the image using Prismacolor pencils blended with baby oil.

Now you get an image just for playing along at Pike's Playground!  You should come out and play too!
