A Sketch Challenge


Hey everyone! It is time for a new challenge, and the teams are going to switch things around so Stella Team will be bringing you inspiration for the first half of the challenges for the rest of the year. This challenge is a Sketch challenge. See below:
For my DT inspiration, I used the new image "Icicles and Crystals" for my card:
I used Copics to colour the image (BV08-BV000 & B05-B0000), along with some glitter gel pens and Stickles in Gunsmoke and Frosted Lace. My chipboard "believe" is from Make It Crafty, as are the little stars. I inked them up with my Copics then used Versamark ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder to make them shine. My flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Happy Birthday

I'm back with another card for Rubbernecker Stamps, this time using the Birthday Balloons stamp. After I inked up the balloons, I used Glossy Accents and rhinestones to finish it up.
All of my ink and paper is from Stampin' Up. I also used the Rubbernecker stamp Dash Dot Frame for the card border. It's a simple card, and I love these new balloon stamps with messages. There are also Happy Retirement and Congratulations ones.

My summer has been super busy, and the kids have just a few more weeks off school so we're making the most of it with a big family trip right away. Then when we get back hockey and football will be in full swing. We have to make the most of our time off while we can! I hope you're having an awesome summer out there.

Anything Goes at Aurora Wings


My favourite challenge theme is live at the Aurora Wings challenge blog: Anything Goes!! I love the freedom of ATG challenges. I just follow wherever my creativity takes me. This is my take on Petals in the Wind. I had started colouring this image a long time ago, and only got as far as her butterfly ears, which I coloured with Prismacolor pencils. I picked up with Copics and finally finished her with a mix of purple, pink, blue, and yellow. 
The image takes up the majority of the card, which is a standard A2 size, so not too many embellies on this one, just a few flowers and pearls. The sentiment is from a Finnabair stamp set called "Don't Forget to Fly". Here are the direct links to the AW image in both the Etsy shop and the AW store:
