Sketch Challenge #8 at PCSG

Hello all! Another sketch challenge is up in the Paper Crafting Support Group! We all used an SBS image called Butterfly Betsy. You can find Simply Betty digital stamps on the SBS site or some exclusive SBS images on our PCSG friend's page, Angels Hearts and Memories. She was kind enough to donate the image for our challenge.

The papers are from Michele R Designs, Butterflies & Hummingbirds collection. I coloured the image with Copics. The die cuts are from By DieZyne. 

I hope you'll join us for our newest sketch challenge on Facebook. Please stop by and Like my Facebook page too! xx

Bobbed - A New Release from TEW

It's new release day at The East Wind, and today we have "Bobbed". She is full of attitude! I couldn't wait to colour her up. I coloured the image with Copics. I stamped flowers using Everything Eleanor rubber stamps by Stampin' Up on black paper with black ink and then used clear embossing powder to make them pop.

There is a new contest in our Facebook group with the theme "I've Been Framed!". See my earlier post for this HERE. There are digis to be won so drop by the group and show us your take on the theme. The post is pinned to the top of the page! There are also twice monthly challenges on the blog HERE. Check them out and sign up for the newsletter while you're there to get your freebie image on the 1st of every month. 

We just posted a new kids colouring contest using Aurora "Spring Butterfly" too. Check the post for a special 60% discount on the image (you'll need to be a member of the TEW Facebook group).

I've Been Framed!

Time for a new challenge in our Facebook group for The East Wind. This month's theme is "I've Been Framed". You have to incorporate a frame or make it look like a Polaroid for this challenge. I bought a little wooden frame from Michaels and coloured up "Witchery" for my project.

I covered the frame with gesso first, then I used Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays in Azure Sea Asters, Pretty in Pink Pink, and Gag Me With A Spoon Gray. The wooden butterfly is from Michaels Recollections brand, and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. I added a couple little pearls and rhinestones, and Voila!! Done. 

There are so many fun things you can do with a theme like this, so please join us on Facebook and show us where your imagination takes you! 

You can like my Facebook page by clicking on the little Facebook icon to the right of this post to see even more from me, including special sales and contests from some of my favourite brands. Make sure you stop back by tomorrow because I will be back with a brand new release from TEW. She's edgy and a dream to colour! Great for practicing those flicks if you're taking the Skin & Hair Class over at Kit and Clowder. xx
