Tiddly Inks DT Call

It's time for another DT call at Tiddly Inks! I'm putting my hat in the ring again with a card featuring one of Christy's new girls, Molly. I used "Molly Shares", and went with a purple colour scheme and a shabby chic design.

"Molly Shares"

I coloured the image with Copics, using the B60, B63, B66, and B69 for her dress. Her hair is E30, E33, E35, E37. The paper is Butterflies & Hummingbirds from Michele R Designs. My flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The other embellies are from Live & Love Crafts. The sentiment stamp is from the Freehand Border Phrase set at Rubbernecker Stamps.

The DT call closes on July 15, so if you love TI like I do, you should pop by and submit one of your Tiddly makes for consideration. There are also challenges every other Tuesday (Tiddly Tuesdays!!), in case a DT role isn't what you're looking for, so there is always an opportunity to play with a Tiddly Ink at the challenge blog HERE.

I hope you like my little card. It's on it's way to a special girl for her birthday, so hopefully she likes it too!

I am also entering this into the Tiddly Inks Make It Pop challenge on the challenge blog.

Butterfly Knot

Today I have a new release from The East Wind called 'Butterfly Knot'. 

I coloured this with Copics, using R20's and BG 90's for her dress, and W's for her hair. The paper is from Michele R Designs, and I just love her digital papers! This one is Butterfly Garden. The sentiment is a Finnabair stamp from Prima. The wood butterfly is from Michaels. 

Make sure you check out our Facebook group for contests, including one that is going on right now called "Rainbows". We also do joint events with Kit and Clowder, so you don't want to miss those. They are always a lot of fun, and there is always a chance to win some free images!

There are also twice monthly challenges on The East Wind's blog HERE!!! And a freebie comes to you on the first of every month if you're signed up for the newsletter, so go get on that!

"Wings" by The East Wind

We have a new release today at The East Wind called "Wings". She looks like a bit of a fallen angel perhaps, so I made it a little dark, giving just her wings a pop of colour.

I used Michele R digital papers in Winter Frost and gray scaled them so they were black/gray instead of the original blue/brown. I coloured the image with Copics.

Stop by our Facebook group and join in on some of the fun stuff happening over there. We are getting ready for a fun event in the beginning of November, along with our regular Facebook challenge, and our special Halloween mini-colouring contest which closes on Halloween. Jump over there and join the group if you haven't already, and show us some of your work! There are also twice monthly challenges on the BLOG, so a lot of chances to win and have fun colouring!

Thanks for stopping by! xx

Apple Seed by The East Wind

It's Tuesday, so there's a new release today from The East Wind! Today's new release is "Apple Seed" and she's spookily good for any Halloween projects you are thinking of doing. 

I used the .png file (that you also receive along with .jpg version) with transparent background over a skull print digital paper from Michele R Designs Halloween collection. I coloured the image with Copics, and used Glossy Accents over part of the apple, but it's nearly impossible to see in the picture. I'm not really a Halloween person, so I am short on Halloween themed embellishments. Oh, well, a reason to go shopping, I guess.

Make sure you pop over and submit a project for our "It's All About the Hair" challenge in our Facebook group. It closes on the 17th, so you have some time, but don't miss out on the chance to win some free digis!! There are also twice monthly challenges on the blog HERE. 

Magical Things Are Happening...

A new release today from The East Wind: Aurora "Magic"!! Let's get ready for some Christmas spirit! I know, it's August. It's still hot outside, but I am ALWAYS late with my Christmas cards, if I even get them out at all, so I really do need to start thinking about them NOW.

Unky has some reindeer centaur action going on with this one, and I LOVE it!! How many reindeer centaur have you seen??

"Magic"

I coloured the image with Copics. The papers are from Michele R Designs - Santa is Coming. I bought some berry stems from Michaels and trimmed some of the berries off and made a little bauble on the side with some paper leaves from Wild Orchid Crafts. I also used some Aged Scarlet Frantage around the image and the card corners. The sentiment stamp is from Verve stamps.

Right now we have a colouring contest going on in the Facebook group. It is strictly a colouring contest, no finished project is required. Head over there and check it out! We just finished the "Once Upon A Time" contest there too, and another theme will be announced on the 21st, so make sure you log in on the 21st and see what we have up our sleeves! Don't forget that there are twice monthly challenges on the blog as well. So many opportunities to take part in the fun and have a chance to win some free images!!! Don't miss out!!

Thanks for stopping by and letting me share this card with you! xx

Have Heart!

This is my final challenge as a part of the Tiddly Inks DT! (Insert sad face here) The theme this go round is "Have Heart!". I chose a beautiful little image called "Wryn - Mom & Me". My mom is so important to me, and when I think "have heart", I think of my mom, because she must have one of the biggest hearts around. I'm sure most of us feel that way about our mother's. Pop over to the Tiddly Inks Challenge blog and show us what "Have Heart" means to you. Here's my DT inspiration for you: 

Wryn - Mom & Me

The quote is from Honore de Balzac, "The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness." Isn't that the truth?

I coloured this with Copics; used the Designer Grunge set of digital papers from Michele R Designs; Shabby Blue Frantage; and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I Am Roses.

Make sure you check out the blog and are signed up for the newsletter so you are getting all the latest and greatest from Christy! Take a wander through the rest of the DT ladies creations too! They are so fantastic! leave them a little love on their blogs too! Thanks for stopping by!!

You Can't Beat Me!

A new smexy from Slinky Tart called "You Can't Beat Me" just had to be coloured up this week! And to make things even better, Tamara made some more digital papers called Retro Hipster that go along perfectly with the colours I wanted to use. The colours of the papers are so rich! 

The DT is going to be going on a little summer break from August 1 to October 1 so we can spend some summer time with our families. I'll still be colouring up some Slinkies, but on a less regular basis. Make sure you are checking in on the Facebook page because if there are any new images, you'll see them there first!
