Love!

Hi there everyone!  We are starting a brand new challenge on the Ching Chou Kuik Challenge Blog, and the theme this month is 'A Birthday Card'. The Blog DT has made gorgeous cards to inspire you, and I am thrilled to play along with them. The image I am using is Love, and you can find her and so many other amazing images by Ching Chou Kuik in her Etsy Shop. 

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E11, E21, E93 & R11; hair - RV10, RV13 & RV14; dress - YG03, YG17, YG23 & YG25; birds - B21, B24 & B26; flowers - V01, V05 & V06.  The image is printed on x-press paper. 

For my card I used Bazzill cardstock, paper I've had in my stash forever (don't know who it is from), dies by Spellbinders and LaLa Land, and Wild Orchid Flowers. I hope you like her! Now I just have to decide who to send it to:)  Please head on over to the Ching Chou Kuik Challenge Blog and join in the fun of our 'Birthday Card' challenge.  There are also challenges every month in the Ching Chou Kuik Facebook Group, and would love to see you there too!  Thanks for stopping by.  Have a fabulous evening!

Lil Angel

Good morning everyone!  Happy start of a new week!  I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving holiday if you celebrate it.  Mine was excellent:)  I'm popping in today to share my DT project for the new Anything Goes challenge on the Craft Your Passion Challenge Blog.  Our sponsor for this week is Stitchy Bear who will be giving the winner their choice of 3 stamps from their shop.  I have chosen Lil Angel for my DT card...I thought she would be perfect, as this challenge is close to Christmas, but I ended up not using Christmas paper or colors at all!  But I still think she was perfect, and I hope you do too. 

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E11, E21, E93 & R11; hair - E21, E23, E25 & E29; dress - BG10, BG11, BG13, W00, W1 & W2; halo - Y11, Y13 & Y15; bows - V01, V12 & V15; wings - W00, W1, W2 & W3.  I added Wink of Stella (clear) to the wings, and used a white gel pen to add polka dots to her bows.  I used chalk from Pebbles, Inc. around the image.  The image is printedon x-press paper. 

Here is a closer look at Lil Angel:

For the card I used Bazzill cardstock, My Mind's Eye paper (Stella & Rose), Wild Orchid flowers and leaves, and Sizzix dies. If you head on over to the Craft Your Passion Challenge Blog you can check out the gorgeous projects made by my fellow DT members.  Also, while you're there, won't you join our Anything Goes challenge?  Hope to see you there!  Thanks for stopping by, and have a great week.

Stardust Enchantress

Hello everyone!  I hope you're having a nice weekend so far:)  We had a baby shower yesterday, and today is a football day for us. Busy but fun!  I would love to take a moment to share with you my DT project for the newest challenge on the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog.  Our theme for this challenge is 'Sweet Dreams of Christmas'.  We want to see images which feature moons, starts, blankets, napping, etc.  For my card I amusing Stardust Enchantress, and I've colored her mostly in neutral colors, including gold and silver.  I'd love to get your thoughts! 

I added gold frantage for a little extra shimmer around the image:

For the card I used Bazzill Cardstock, Bo Bunny paper, brads and sticker (Rejoice), Wild Orchid berries and leaves, and glitter tulle.  I added Wink of Stella (clear) to the large star and to her wings.  It is so hard to capture that in photos though.  The image is printed on x-press paper.  

We would love to have you join us over at the Lacy Sunbshine Challenge Blog and join our 'Sweet Dreams of Christmas' challenge.  There are beautiful projects by my fellow DT members to help inspire you too!  Hope to see you there.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Come Softly

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope you have a fun weekend planned!  They always go by so darn quickly though, don't they?  Before I head out for the day I would like to share my latest DT Inspiration for the Ching Chou Kuik Facebook Group.  I've made a card using the beautiful digi Come Softly.  I hope you like her! 

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E)0, E11, E21, E93 & R11; hair - YR31, YR24, E25, E29, YG93 & YG97; dress - B60, B63 & B66; butterfly - R22, R24, Y11, Y15 & Y17.   I used BV23, BV25 & BV20 for the background. The image is printed on x-press paper. 

For the card I used Bazzill cardstock, paper from Authentique.  I also used dies from Tim Holtz (swirl) and Memory Box.  Fairly CAS for me, lol.  Please head on over to the Ching Chou Kuik Facebook Group and join us if you haven't already!  We share tons of inspiration, there are monthly challenges, and you'll find out all of the latest on Ching Chou's new releases.  Thanks for stopping by, and have a great weekend!

Charis

Happy Friday!  I hope you had a great week!  It is time for a new Anything Goes Challenge over in the Art by Mi Ran Facebook Group.  The twist this month is 'Use a Die Cut'.  For my DT Inspiration I used the gorgeous digi Charis.  I just love this image, and I hope you love what I did with her! 

The Copics I used are: hair - E35, E37, YR23 & Y21; dress - YG67, YG17 & YG03; flowers - RV23, RV25, RV29, Y32 & Y38; snowflakes - BG000, B000, B00, BV000, BV00 & RV10.  The image is printed on x-press paper. 

Here is a close up of this beauty:

For my card all I used is Bazzill cardstock, and Spellbinder dies.  The image has so much detail and color I really didn't want a card to compete with it. I did want to follow out optional theme, though, so I simply cut the image and several pieces of cardstock using graduated dies.  Each layer has foam tape behind it for dimension.  CAS, but I think it makes a statement. I hope you like it!

Have you played along with our challenges in the Art by Mi Ran Facebook Group? We have 2 challenges a month, and there are lots of chances to win some of Mi Ran's gorgeous digis.  We also choose Guest DT's with each of our Anything Goes challenges.  We hope to see you there!

Autumn Blessings

Hello everyone in bloggerland!  I am popping in to share a card I made for the new challenge on the Creative Knockouts Challenge Blog.  We are sponsored this week by Bugaboo Stamps who will be giving the winner a very generous prize of 7 free digis!  How sweet is that?  Out theme this week is a fun one too - No Square Cards! I don't know about you, but my go-to card is the 6x6 square, so I really had to step out of my comfort zone a little.  

For my DT card, I chose to use this fun digi called Girlz - Autumn Blessings.  I think she is so sweet.  I've colored a couple of their Girlz stamos, and just love them!  Hope you like my 'Not Square' card!

The Copics I used are: Skin - E000, E00, E11, E21, E93 & R11; hair - E13, E15, E17 & E18; skirt - B91, B93, B95 & B97; shirt - YG03, YG17 & YG67; shoes - E21, E23, E25 & E29; pumpkins - YR14, YR21 & YR68.  I used a bunch of greens for the leaves and bushes, but didn't keep track.  There are so many that work.  The image is printed on x-press paper.

For the card I used Bazzill cardstock, paper from Farmhouse paper, ribbon, Wild Orchid flowers, and dies by Spellbinders and Memory Box.  I used my largest circle die for the folded portion of the card, and used a smaller scalloped circle and plain circle for the front.  I really do love this type of card, and I hope you do too.  We'd love for you to join our 'No Square Cards' challenge this week!  Head on over to the Creative Knockouts Challenge Blog to see what the other DT members have created to inspire you, and to play along.  Thank you for stopping by!
