Dancing Cats

Happy Monday! It's time for a new Rubbernecker Stamps card and the beginning of Team 1's week, including a new challenge starting on Tuesday. Today I have used "Dancing Cats" and "Your Own Drum" for today's card.

Dancing Cats

I heat embossed the cats and used a sapphire blue embossing powder. All of the paper I used is from my scrap stash. The blue paper is iridescent but you can't see the shimmer in the picture. The ribbon is from May Arts.

Tuesday, April 11 is the beginning of a new challenge on the BLOG. Head over there and see what the new challenge theme is and enter your creation for a chance to win either a $25 or $15 gift certificate to the store. There are some amazing new stamps and die sets in the STORE, and they're going fast!

Fab Friday & Magical Friendship

It's another Fab Friday at Tiddly Inks and this week I have coloured up "Magical Friendship" for my make.

I made this with a special friend in mind, who is going through a rough patch. I want to send her a little "hello" so she knows I'm thinking of her and keeping her in my prayers.

I coloured this with Copics, using Shabby Vintage Rose digital paper from Michele R Designs and lace from Live & Love Crafts.

Our Let's Go Gothic challenge is still happening for a couple more days over at the challenge blog so head on over there and show us what you can do! Make sure you join us in the Facebook group and share with us whatever makes you come up, regardless of the challenge theme. We love to see them!

Thanks for visiting! Feel free to leave a little love below! It really makes my day to read your comments!

Open-Minded Crafting Fun Challenge - No Pink and No Red

Another challenge is going on at Open-Minded Crafting Fun. The current theme is "No Pink and No Red," which might be a little difficult for some with Valentine's Day lurking in the near future. The wonderful sponsors we have on board for this challenge are Faery Ink, The Art of Ronne P. Barton, Bugaboo Stamps, and Oak Pond Creations. They have offered some awesome prizes for the winners. Head over to OMC and check it out! The linkup closes at midnight, February 13, 2015, so make sure you get your creations in before then. They can be any theme you like as long as there is no red and no pink!

My DT make is made with an image from Faery Ink, "Bee-Youtiful Pixie Fae".

I coloured her with Copics, and the papers are from a DCWV Citrus Mat Stack.
The Copics I used for the orange are YR07, YR04, Y38, Y17, Y15, Y11. I also used W9, W7, W5, W3, and W0.

I hope you like it, and I hope you join in on the challenges on our blog!

Queen of Hearts

First let me start off by saying that we are celebrating having over 500 members in The East Wind Facebook group! We are having a colouring contest, and some games will be played as well. Unky has offered up some of her art prints as a prize for commenting on THIS POST and inviting a friend to join The East Wind. Make sure you check it out!! And if you're not a member of the FB group, JOIN! We would love to have you! 

Here we go! The 21st of every month is the start of a new challenge on The East Wind's Facebook page. This month, our theme is "Alice in Wonderland" and the image I'm using for my DT project is Lucy Loo 'Queen of Hearts'.

I decided to use actual playing cards as the background for my card because she is, after all, the Queen of Hearts. I staggered and layered them, using 3D foam dots. On the last two layers of cards, I doubled up the foam so they sat higher.

I coloured most of her with Copics, but I used Gelly Roll Metallic pens for her crown, scepter, and the jewels on her scepter; I used a Gelly Roll silver glitter pen to highlight her gown so it looked like silver thread in areas.

  

I put the Queen on with even more foam dots so she sat higher than everything else.

"Off With Her Head!"

I also used Spellbinders dies, my Cameo to cut out the baroque heart, and flowers from I Am Roses.
I had a lot of fun making this. I know someone who loves Alice in Wonderland, so I may put this in a shadow box and make a gift of it. I hope you liked it!

Thanks for visiting!! And make sure you check out The East Wind. Besides the Facebook group, there is the blog, with TWO challenges every month. All three challenges between the FB group and the blog have different themes, so there's sure to be something that will interest you and inspire you to craft.
