Catch the Bug Challenge - Guest Designer

Exciting news!!! I was asked to join the Catch the Bug Challenge design team as a guest designer this week. They have a great photo inspiration challenge going on over there - you should definitely pop over and check out the eye-candy their team put together for you.

I used this great image "Stella Witch - Call Me Witch" - it just makes me giggle. I LOVE Stella! She's my hero! Says all the things we all want to say, but are just too darn afraid to say! LOL

For this card I kept it simple - coloring her with my Copics and using some scraps as a color blocked background. I added just a touch of bling by using a sequin ribbon to the edges of the orange DP. I had this great chipboard tree from Little Yellow Bicycle that fit perfectly for a back drop for Stella.

Bugaboo will be sponsoring our next challenge at Craft Your Passion starting on Monday, so make sure and pop over there for some other great Bugaboo inspiration.

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...
Come join our challenge this week - you just might win some great digi's from Kenny K.

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.
