New Facebook Contest Starts Today!

A new Facebook contest goes live today in The East Wind's Facebook group. The theme this month is "Hot Colours", so you have to use colours from the warm side of the colour wheel. I used the image "Bookaholic". It is one of my most favourite images because of all that hair!! Hair can be tricky, but it can also be fun. I love to play with hair colours, and I thought a big mess of hot red hair would be perfect for the theme.

Bookaholic

I used SEVERAL Copics to achieve the look I wanted for her hair:

E09, E08, YR18, YR07, YR04, Y17, Y15, Y13

I printed the image out at about 5", so that's pretty big for me. I usually print it out at 3.5 or so, but I wanted space for the hair. The DP is from a DCWV Citrus mat stack. The solid colour paper is from Cricut.

Make sure you pop by the Facebook group! First prize is three free images of your choice, the runner up gets a 25% off coupon to the Etsy store. There are also twice monthly challenges on the BLOG, so check that out too. And make sure you're signed up for the newsletter!! The free image for August that goes out in the newsletter is AMAZING!!!!!

Barmaid

It's new release day at The East Wind!! Today's image is titled "Barmaid". I feel like she has a story going on, and Unky is so great at drawing images that make you wonder what they're thinking or going through. This image makes me think she's tired and about had it with work, but she's got a goal in mind that's pushing her through her day. Thus the sentiment, "Dreams don't work unless you do."

I coloured the image with Copics. I used paper scraps from my stash, and the border stamp is from Rubbernecker Stamps. Easy peasy! 

Make sure you stop by the Facebook TEW group in a couple days for the new challenge posting. The challenge runs from July 21 to August 17, and it's going to be HOT!! (just a little hint about the theme there *wink*) There are also twice monthly challenges on the BLOG. Please drop in and join us for some colouring fun and the opportunity to win some free images!

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.
