It's a Celebration!

It's a "Celebration" challenge at Aurora Wings with some awesome inspiration brought to you by the Stella DT. I have used "Marie Antoinette" for my birthday card. I went with a lot of pink for this card and made it very girly.

I coloured the image with Copics, using the R80's to do her dress. My flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the lace is from Live & Love Crafts. My DP is from Maja and is from the "Coffee in the Arbour" collection. The pearl string is from Kaisercraft.

Pop on over to the challenge blog to enter your creation(s). You can enter up to THREE times if you use an AW image on each entry! The prizes for this challenge are: 1 (one) Artist's Choice Award Winner to be selected from entries using Aurora Wings digis ($20 GC and Badge); 1 (one)  Random Winner ($20 GC); and a TOP 3 Winners to be chosen by the DT ($10 GC and Badge). This challenge runs until June 19.

There is going to be a 3,000 members celebration in the Facebook group June 9 & 10. There will be some new release digis that will be showcased and they are beautiful! Make sure you pop in next weekend and check it out.

Toad-ally Awesome!

It's Team #1's Sweet Sunday at the Rubbernecker Stamps blog, and today I have a card that I made using "Toad-ally" and "Frog on Lily Pad". I made it as a birthday card for my nephew, and sent it to him before I remembered that I'm supposed to send my Rubbernecker cards to the home office in California for them to use in the scrapbook shows where they showcase our cards!! So I guess I'll have to make another one for them. lol!

I coloured the image with Copics. Most of my paper is from Stampin' Up, except for the white. The enamel dots are also from SU; the stitched circle die cuts are from By DIEzyne which you can't buy anymore.

A new "Mother's Day" challenge is up on the Rubbernecker blog. The prizes are a $25 GC first place and a $15 GC second place price to the Rubbernecker store. *HOP* 🐸🐸 on over there and check it out. I KNOW you have to make a Mother's Day card this month, unless you're in the UK where Mother's Day is in March. 😉 Below are direct links to the stamps I used today. xx

A Sagittarius Birthday Card

Another Wednesday has arrived and with it comes a DT make for The Stamping Chef. I have quite a few Sagittarius' in my family, and I thought TSC's "Rosalind" was the perfect image for a birthday card.

I used Kraft cardstock for the card base, and as luck would have it, I was digging through my craft storage closet and found a little treasure of DCWV mat stacks that I had hidden on myself. The cover is missing, so I can't tell you which collection it's from, but I trimmed one of the sheets down for my mat. I printed off the Sagittarius traits sheet and put a layer of translucent paper over it to mute the colour a bit. I sandwiched a little cheesecloth between the two and topped it with some flowers, a Bo Bunny brad, and Rosalind. I am so glad that the All About Animals class over at Kit & Clowder was released, because the Unicorn tutorial was very helpful when colouring this one up. 

Copics Used:
Skin - E000,E00,E21,E13,E04,R20
Eyes - B97,B95,B91
Hair and Tail - E09,E18,E17,E15,E13
Body - E18,E17,E15,E30
Hooves - W7,W5,W1
The Reds are the R30's 
The Blues are B90's
I used a white Molotow acrylic paint marker (2mm tip) to accentuate the gleam in her eye.

I hope you like it! Make sure you check out the new challenge this week at The Stamping Chef! Only a few left! 
Thanks so much for stopping by!
