The East Wind - I'm Ready for My Close Up

Ok, so I know I've done quite a few images by The East Wind lately, but what can I say?   I'm kind of obsessed with them!  They have a fun challenge on their Facebook Group page right now called 'I'm Ready for My Close-Up'.  The challenge is to either crop an image, or use a head-only image.  I've never cropped a digi before, so I chose to do that, and it was so cool!  I used Lucy Loo 'Punk Will Never Die'.  Here's my image:

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E04, E11 and R20; hair - YR14, YR18, E08, E19, V93, V95, V99, G21, G29 anf G46.

For the card I used Bazzill cardstock, and paper from Basic Grey's 'What's Up' line, dies from Spellbinders and LaLa Land, and flowers I had on hand.  I think I might have to try this with another one of their images!  Have an awesome weekend everyone:)

ABM Anything Goes - A Closer Look

Happy Friday!  It's time for another Anything Goes Challenge on the Art by MiRan Facebook Page.  i love this challenge!  Her images are all soooo much fun to color, and you have the freedon to create any type of project, any theme!  For this challenge I made a card using A Closer Look.

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E11, E21 and R20; hair - YR14, YR18, E08 and E19; pants - BG01, BG04, BG09 and BG57; shirt - G21, G46, YR24, YR31 and Y32; hat - E33, E35 and E37; and shoes - E71, E77 and E79. 

I used Glossy Accents for the glass in her magnifying glass.

For the card I used paper and buttons from My Mind's Eye 'Stella and Rose' line, Bazzill cardstock, LaLa Land die, and a ticket & evidence card I had from years ago.  I cut a 12" circle die-cut paper from My Mind's Eye into quarters, and used one of those quarters for the pocket (glued only along the straight side and bottom).  I also cut the banner 2 times in the same paper, and layered them.  For the top layer I used a pen to roll the edges up.  I had a lot of fun making this.

Hello everyone!  Today I have the opportunity to host the Art by MiRan Showcase Blog.  I wanted to challenge myself, so I used the awesome new image Davina, and made a CAS card.  I tend to use a lot of dies and flowers, so keeping it simple wasn't easy, but I think I managed to do a good job:)  Here's my card...

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E04, E21 and R20; hair - V000, V09, V12 and V15; dress - G000, BG13, BG32, BG49, C1, C3, C5 and C7.

For the card I used paper and sticker from Bo Bunny's 'A Gift of Love' line, cardstock and Memory Box die.

Tip of the Hat

Yay!  I had a chance to play around with another East Image.  This time I colored up Lucy Loo 'Lucy Style I Love You'.  She is one of the images I bought with the discount I won for being a DT pick on their last challenge! It is perfect that she's one that I had to have (lol), because the new challenge on The East Wind Challenge Blog is 'Tip of the Hat'...using a hat somewhere on your project.  Here's what I did with her:

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E04, E21 and R20; hair - B000, B00, B12 and B16; shirt - YR31, YR15, Y17 and Y32; hat - C1, C3, C5, C7, YG03 and YG25.

FOr the card, I used Bazzill cardstock, and papers from Bo Bunny's 'A Gift of Love' line, flowers from Wild Orchid and Michael's, and Tim Holz star diecut.  I don't know what it is about these images, but I always tend to do something colorful with their hair.  Anyway...I hope you like her!  Thanks for looking:)
