Delicous Doodles #3 - The Unexpected

Over at Delicious Doodles we have a very fun challenge going on... "The unexpected"... I fought for a while to come up with something for this challenge, that is until I saw this image. I had to create a tag out of it to attach to this bag of fresh baked cookies for a friend. I laughed out load as I took it over to her... She thought I was off my rocker, but we both got a good old fashion giggle out of it.
I would love to see what unexpected thing you can come up with over at Delicious Doodles! Come join the fun!

CYP #77 - Color Combo - Lauretta's Digis

Our challenge this week at Craft Your Passion is all about the color combo! The original colors are brighter than my choices, but that's because the bright green, yellow and black didn't suit my image. I chose to use lighter tones of them to help set the mood on this simple and sweet card. The image is from Lauretta's Digital Stamps. I brushed in a light cloud background, colored her with my Copics and added some shimmer paint to her wings. The shape is cut from a Cricut cartridge and the sentiment banner is hand drawn. I finished it with a bubbly yellow bow! Simple but beautiful!

Come join our challenge this week for a chance to win some great digi prizes.

CYP #76 - Occupational Hazards - Dude Time Doodles

Our challenge over at Craft Your Passion this week is "Occupational Hazards"... and I got a chance to work with this great image from Dude Time Doodles. I normally struggle with masculine cards, but this one was cake because of this wonderful image. I can't wait to give this card away to just the right man. It's such a guy thing!

I colored the image with my Copics, used some great papers from DCWV - masculine pack - added eyelets to frame the image... the sentiment just seemed to fit! The end result is a fun card that will bring someone a smile.

You should come over to Craft Your Passion and join in all the fun - there's a great chance to win some wonderful prizes, enjoy some inspiration and make some new friends. Hope to see your work soon!

Steampunk goes wild...

This was soooo much fun to create... I've been working on it for about two weeks, not really sure what I was doing, but loving the images so much that just kept trying to mix and match them to get it all to come together. I started with the adorable ladies from TidlyInks, then came up with the wonderful Steampunk treehouse from Make It Crafty. Then added the amazing frame from Delicious Doodles. After all the coloring with my Copics I layed some scrap paper, some funky ribbon mesh , some lace, on the background before adding the images. The the buttons, butterfly, roses, flowers, and the such all found a home on the by-now-very-heavy card. I ended up spraying some Glimmer Mist in copper over most of it, giving it a little added sparkle and speckled grunge look. I hope you enjoy!

CYP #75 - "F" Word - Kenny K

This week over at Craft Your Passion Challenges our sponsor is one of my fav's.... Kenny K.... Our challenge is the "F" word - something on your card needs to start with "F"... flowers, folds, feathers, or in my case "flames". The flames were fun to create and color (my Copics), and this sassy image just reminded me of my daughter. This card was for her 15th birthday...

CYP #74 -Anything Goes + Flowers

Our challenge over at Craft Your Passion is an easy one this time around... Anything Goes, but our wild card this time around is "flowers"... This cute image came from Phooka and was so suited for a cute little baby card. I used some DCWV papers, added a little scalloped frame over my Copic-colored image, and a simple sentiment. The rolled flowers are cut with a Cricut cartridge, making them super easy.

Delicious Doodles - Challenge #1 - Fresh Start

So, this is my first official challenge as a member of the Delicious Doodles design team. Our challenge for the next couple of weeks is "Fresh Start" - use something new. Well, just about everything on this one is new. The wonderful image "Jewelled Fairy" is new to me, the design team is new to me and this is only the second time I have tried airbrushing. For some reason, the night sky seems to fit quite a few of Teri's wonderful images. I love the way it sets off the oranges in this image. I colored her with my Copics, and the sky is airbrushed and spattered. I added jewels all over the image and then again as accents on the edges. I'm thrilled with the way it turned out... Come play with us over at Delicious Doodles Challenges! I'd love to see what you come up with!
