Candy Faery

Happy Friday everyone!  Did you make it through your week ok?  Hopefully it was a good one for you. I'm happy for the weekend:)  It's time for a new 'Anything Goes' challenge over at the Crafting-With-Friends Challenge Blog! I was really excited for this one, because our sponsor is Moon Flower Digital Stamps, and this is my first time coloring one of their images.  They are so pretty!  I had a hard time choosing, and finally decided on using this fun image called Candy Faery.  Isn't she sweet?  (Pun totally intended, lol)  Here's the card I made:

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E11, E21, E93 & R20; hair - BV20, BV23, BV25, BV29, RV000, RV02, RV04 & RV10; dress - BG93, BG96 & BG00; cherries - R32, R35 & R37; candy - RV02, RV10, E15, E17 & E18; cup - E31, E33 & E35; wings - BV02, BV04 & Wink of Stella (clear).  The image is printed on x-press paper. 

Here is a closer look at the wings.  I tried to capture the sparkle from the Wink of Stella:

For the card I used Bazzill cardstock, paper from Sherri Baldy, flowers from Wild Orchid, ribbon and Memory Box die.  When I cut out the image, I curled her wings up a bit, and mounted her on foam tape for added dimension.  I hope you find my card sweet! Please head on over to the Crafting-With-Friends Challenge Blog to see the beautiful projects by the rest of the DT.  Our challenge is 'Anything Goes', so please play along with your new projects! Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy your day.

Eleanor and Pickles - Play Ball

Happy Friday everyone! I'm here to share my DT project for the brand new challenge over on the Crafting-With-Friends Challenge Blog.  Our theme is 'Anything Goes', and this week we are sponsored by one of my favorites - Lacy Sunshine.  For my card, I am using the adorable Eleanor and Pickles - Play Ball. Isn't she sweet?  

The Copics I used are: hair - E11, E13, E15 & E18; sweater - YR02, YR14, YR16 & YR18; pants - B91, B95 & B97; shoes - W1, W2, W5 & R35; flowers - R32 & R35; homeplate - E40, E42 & E43; Pickles - R11, R20, YG03, YG17 & YG23. The image is printed on x-press paper.

For the card I used Bazzill cardstock, paper from Jillibean soup, twine, and sticker from Basic Grey.  For the baseball, I backed it with an 'Action Wobble Spring'.  It's hard to see in the picture, but it bounces off of the page!  I've had the springs in my stash for about 3 years, and this is the first time I've ever used them, lol.  It's a really cute effect - I might have to find another opportunity to use them!

Thanks for taking a peek.  The other DTs have great projects to inspire you, so please head on over to the Crafting-With-Friends Challenge Blog to check them out and give them some love.  While you're there, we would love for you to play along in our challenge!  Have a great day:)
