ABM - Anything Goes FB Challenge

Happy Friday!  Geez, this week went fast.  Time again for a new Anything Goes Challenge over on the Art by MiRan Facebook Page.  I do hope you'll join us!  You can win some awesome ABM digis, and have a chance at being our Guest Designer for a future challenge!  For this month's challenge, I chose to use Parfait Pam.  You can find her, and toms of other amazing images in the Art by MiRan Etsy shop.

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E04, E11, E21 & R20; hair - G00, BG09, BG49 & BG57; shirt - E40, E43 & E47; skirt - RV000, RV52, RV55 & RV66; ice cream - E13, E15, E18, E51 & RV23.

For the card I used paper and die cuts from the Bo Bunny 'Sweet Tooth' line.  How perfect for this image?  To mimic the straws on the image, I took 2 straws from the kid's juice pouches, and wrapped them in washi tape.  A few flowers and there you have it.  Wanna go grab some ice cream? lol.  Hope you like her.  Have an awesome weekend!  I'm off to work on some DT work for next week.

Creative Knockouts - Spring is in the Air

There's a new challenge up on the Creative Knockouts blog, and the theme this week is 'Spring is in the Air'.  We are lucky to have the amazing Art by MiRan sponsoring this challenge.  I chose to use Florina, and I think you'll agree that with all of the flowers she's holding, it suits the theme perfectly!

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E04, E11 7 R20; hair - E35, YR23, Y21 & Y32; flowers - RV10, RV13, RV14, Y17, G00, BG32, BG34, B00, B02 & B05.

For the card I used Bazzill dot paper & October Afternoon (Woodland Park) paper. For the butterflies & cut out additional butterflies, used stickles (stardust) on them, and added them with wings turned up on the same exact butterflies.  Pretty simple, but exactly what I was going for:)

 Please take a look at our challenge, and check out the other amazing DT work on the Creative Knockouts blog.  Have a great day!

Guest DT - Ching Chou Kuik

Oh, I am so happy today!  I finally get to share a project I finished a few weeks ago, using an image by one of my most favorite designers!   The image I chose for my guest spot is Peony Kimono Maiden.  It's an image I've loved since I first discovered her artwork, and this was the perfect occasion to use her.

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E04, E21 and R20; hair - E31, E35 and E37; robe - R00, R01, R02, R08, BG93, G000, G21, G85 and G99; flowers - YR23, YR31, Y32, YR000, BG000, BG18, BG09 and BG57; leaves - YG93, YG97 and C1; butterflies - R00, R01, R02, R08, R81, R85, R89, BG000, BG01, BG05; YR000, YR23, YR31, Y32, V93, V95 and V99.

The card is made with paper from Graphic 45 (once Upon a Springtime), lace, leaves and flowers from Wild Orchid.  I think this is my new favorite:)  Thanks for looking, and if you get a chance, head on over to the Ching Chou Kuik Facebook Group to see more of her amazing images.

Bikini Season

Good morning everyone!  I'm hosting the Karleigh Sue Inspiration Blog today:)  Since yesterday was the first official day of spring (though here in Arizona, it's been warm for a while), that means summer is right around the corner.  And you know what that means, right?  Bikini Season!  That's the name of this adorable digi, and you can find her here.  

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E04, E21 & R20; hair - E08, E19, YR14 & YR18; lips - RV52 & RV55; eyes - G00, G05 & G09; sneakers - C1, C3, C5, C7, RV13 & RV14; clothes - YR02, YR14, YR16, Y00, Y02, Y06 & Y08; weights - W0, W3 & W5.

I went with a Clean & Simple design for this card.  The sentiment is on the paper, and I didn't feel it needed much else.  Just a little strip of hearts, and a banner from a LaLa Land die, and that is it!   Thanks for taking a look!  Be sure to check out the Karleigh Sue Inspiration blog and be a follower of it so you see all of the inspiration that the fabulous DT members post.  

I think I need to go do a workout now...

CC & CC - Something Yummy to Eat or Drink!

Good Morning everyone!  Today's new challenge over at the Chocolate, Coffee & Cards Challenges blog is 'Something Yummy to Eat or Drink'.  Our awesome sponsor is Deedee's Digis.  They have a great assortment of images, and such cute designs!  I chose to use Sweet Treats.

I found this to really be quite a challenge, as I've pretty much colored digis of people (with an occasional flower or animal thrown in).  The shading I normally do on a person's face is so different than coloring this adorable cupcake, so I admit it took a few tries.  But I am pleased with the result!

The Copics I used are: E40, E71, E77, BG13, RV02, RV52, RV55, RV81, RV85 & RV89.  I used a white gel pen for his cheeks, and added pink stickles (cotton candy) for the icing.  How cute?!?

For the card I layered paper from the Bo Bunny 'Sweet Tooth' line.  When you have a chance, head over to the Chocolate, Coffee and Cards Challenges blog to check out all of the DT makes, and enter your own card with Something Yummy to Eat or Drink!
