Party Girl

Good morning!  I'm here with January's Forever Friends challenge, which is to create a birthday card.  Our sponsors are....

Michelle Perkett will give the Forever Friends Favorite their choice of 1 of the digi images the DT used for this challenge.

The Digi Garden will give the random winner 7 digi images of their choice.

Today I am using Michelle Perkett's "Sprout the Birthday Princess Puppy" image and I made a really girly card...pink and lots of sparkle!  I've used the sketch from Sketch Saturday.  The image is colored with pencils and accented with glitter.  I've embellished with a punched flower and Bella Dots.

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.

Creative Card Crew: Fantasy

Good morning!  It's time for another Creative Card Crew challenge; this fortnight our theme is "fantasy" and our sponsor is Michelle Perkett.  Michelle has some beautiful fairies, but I couldn't resist this whimsical mermaid; I think she's a doll!  Thank you, Michelle!

When I was working on my card, I couldn't decide whether I should go with birthday or water themed DP.  I finally settled on these cute fish....  The DP was already distressed, but I distressed the edges further to give it a bit more texture; I like the shabby look paired with the crisp white cardbase and image panel.  The image is colored with pencils and accented with glitter and mini brads.  I pierced a circle, added some brads and popped the image up.
