Ric Rac Attack Challenge

Hello, I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful fall we are having, the drive to work  is a new canvas to enjoy everyday as the colors are constantly changing.  This week at Fairy Fun Fridays we are doing a bit of a change up, the Design Teams swapped and we are presenting images from another company called Cowgirl Up, the image here is called L'il Bit.  I colored the image with coloring pencils and blended them with a blending stump and baby oil for the soft look that you see.  I used the sketch from Simon Says Stamp and the card also qualifies for the Digital Tuesday Challenge 77 - It's All About the Girls and Anything Goes Challenge 17 - Cute.

Multi challenges, a first in a long time for me....

Well I had the opportunity to color yesterday and then actually put it together into a card today.  I used one of the adorable images from Greeting Farm's Miss Anya Love Set, colored her with copics, coloring pencils, blending stump and baby oil.  She is sitting pretty and just waiting to be shared with someone.

Challenges I am entering into are:

Craftilicious Challenge 3 - cute
Digital Tuesday Challenge 65 - summertime
Pollycraft Monday Challenge 50 - pinkalicious
Simon Says Challenge - checks, plaids, and/or ginghams (I have used 3)

Accessories:  silk flowers, half pearls, circle cutter, KF sticker, ribbon, copics, coloring pencils, blending stump and baby oil

Washed anew

Here is my entry for Fairy Fun Fridays Challenge - distressing; I roughed up the edges on both pieces of patterned paper, and dragged all of the solid colors through my versamark pad to give the darker shading.  I colored this Raindrops image from Prairie Fairy Designs with copics and then add pencil crayon and blended with baby oil and a blending stump.  I used the sketch from The Pink Elephant Challenge 63, the colors were inspired by Color Throwdown Challenge 89 and it fits in with the April Showers or April Flowers theme over at Digital Tuesday Challenge 55.

Ink:  Versamark

Accessories:  distressing tool, circle cutter, 2 different flower punches, pop dots, ribbon, copics, coloring pencils, blending stump and baby oil

Baby Blues

This card is not traditional as it is blue and white but it will be given to someone with a little girl because of all the frills.  The card is entering in Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge 48, it qualifies for Digital Tuesday Challenge - blue and white, Simon Says Stamp Challenge - for a child, Cupcake Inspiration Challenge 54 - I used brown for the hair of the child, the lace is on the outfit and the punched borders and the flowers are on the background paper.  This also works for Delightful Sketches Challenge - buttons and bling, my bling is the Stickles on the skirt ruffles and the Swaroski crystals.  Hope you like it!!

Kitty Smile

I love all Penny Black images and loved it when I found the challenge blog for her stamps.  Here is my entry to Penny Black Challenge 92 - Spring colors, which also works for The Pink Elephant Challenge 58 - spring.  I missed out on the timing for the Curtain Call Color Challenge Act 20, but used those colors as my theme anyway.  The sketch is from Simon Says Stamp Challenge and I also would like to enter it for the lots of green with Digitial Tuesday Challenge 50.  I can't believe it when I went to enter my card for this week's Digital Tuesday Challenge, I discovered that I had won the prize for last week's challenge, 3 free digi images from Digital Stamp Oasis.  Lucky me!!  Thank you so much.

I love the humor in this image by Greeting Farm, one of their digi images.  I used the sketch from Friday Sketchers Challenge 92 and I pierced the corners of the image to qualify for Digital Tuesday Challenge 49.  I moved the sentiment to another spot as it didn't work the other way when I flipped the sketch.

Sweet Dreams Bedtime Bella

Well I lucked out again, this card qualifies for several challenges.  First and foremost, because I am an honorary fairy (lucky me), Fairy Fun Fridays Challenge 9 - to use the color green.  I love this sweet little girl all ready for bed.  I used the sketch from Card Patterns Sketch 53; added scallops for Digital Tuesday Challenge 48; it's girly for Simon Says Stamp Challenge; Delightful Sketches challenge is to be kid themed; and Cute Card Thursday Challenge 102 is Lucky Green.  Hmmmm anyway notice a theme of green this week in a lot of different challenges.  I colored her with the coloring pencil technique showed on Prairie Fairy's site as a tutorial, super easy and works great.
