Lucky Birdbrain Chick

Good morning!  It's time for a new challenge from the ladies at Ruby's Rainbow; for this fortnight Jennifer has chosen our challenge and she would like to see "Anything Green".  Sounds good!

Since St. Patrick's day is right around the corner, I decided to go with Lucky Birdbrain Chick; the image is colored with pencils and I've added a lot of glitter so it is nice and sparkly.  I pulled out a past From The Heart Stamps sketch and the twist that week was monochromatic so that was perfect for R.R. theme!  I did add just a splash of pink for color.  Here's the sketch:

Recipe: 3-2-1

Good morning!  We have a fun, new challenge for you at Catch the Bug...it's a recipe!  We would like to see a card with:

* 3 Word Sentiment
* 2 Flowers
* 1 Image

Sounds good, right?!  I started by looking for an image with a 3 word sentiment...when I saw JJ I knew she was the one because I love making baby cards!  I also found a fun sketch and wanted to use pink and pearls...now that's a fun challenge!

JJ is colored with pencils (I love the "pop" of blue with all the pink/brown!) and I've embellished with some punched/layered flowers with pearls and some twill.  I like how this one turned out...I love the patterned paper.

Favorite Color Combo

The ladies at the Crafty Friends Challenge Blog have a fun, new challenge...Use Your Favorite Color Combo.  Our sponsor for this challenge is Rick St. Dennis, and he has generously allowed me to pick the beautiful Eve to work with.  I think Eve is beautiful...a bit different than what I normally work with...thank you, Rick!

Eve is colored with pencils and I have paired her with some elegant Echo Park DP.  I've distressed my papers and embellished with ribbon, leafy swirls and pearls.  I wanted the image to take center stage.  As far as my favorite color combo...it was a bit hard...I knew I would pick pink, but there are so many different great color combos to choose from.  The pink/green combo here is a bit more subdued than what I would normally choose, but I like it for a fun change.

On the Beach/Under the Sea

Happy Tuesday!  It's time for another fun challenge from Creative Card Crew; this fortnight out challenge is "On the Beach/Under the Sea" and our sponsor is Michelle Perkett.  I am using the lovely "Camille"...thank you Michelle!

After printing the image, I started coloring...colored some more...and some more!  I was thinking that this image was a bit too ambitious for me...I really wish I had that natural coloring ability that some people are lucky to have.  I kept on coloring and finally finished...yay!  I used the sketch from Stampin With the Dragon; I used my corner rounder, did some piercing, added ribbon and gems, and applied a bit of glitter to the pink trim.

Pearls and Swirls

Good morning!  Today we have a new challenge from the Creative Card Crew...pearls and swirls.  Our sponsor for this challenge is Simon Says Stamp!

I used a lovely sentiment from Clear Dollar Stamps; after changing the color of the text to a dark brown, I printed it on the backside of the DP, then distressed the CS and DP panels.  For my swirls I went with a die from Cheery Lynn, added a handmade felt flower and finished with a scattering of pearls.  I like how this one turned out.


Sentiment: Clear Dollar Stamps Digital Image
Ink: Printer
Paper: PTI Dark Chocolate, SU! Sage Shadow, My Mind's Eye DP
Embellies: Kaiser Half Pearls

Good morning; it's time for another sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Our sponsor this week is Raisin Boat; they sent me the cutest stamp set called "Cool Treats".  Actually it was the perfect choice for me since I am an ice cream lover...thank you so much Raisin Boat!

I chose the ice cream cone to work with and colored the image with pencils.  Doesn't that strawberry frozen yogurt look yummy?  I used diecuts for the panels and added some half pearls and ribbon for embellishments.

Paper: PTI Stamper's Select, Fine Linen and Hibiscus Burst, Bo Bunny DP
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Embellies: PTI Hibiscus Burst Grosgrain Ribbon, Kaiser Pearls
