The new challenge starts today at Lacy Sunshine and the theme is Fairy Dreams (or anything with wings) in honor of a new release of adorable fairies at the Lacy Sunshine Shoppe. I have the pleasure of introducing Emmilou Boo's Magical Garden Fairy. We have an extra special sponsor this week, Petal Lu, and the DT has embellished our projects with the gorgeous hand made blooms. Mine are from the Norrland Bloom mix. I've made a simple card this time to showcase the adorable image and beautiful flowers.
Here's Emmilou's closeup, colored with Copics in the colors from the flowers I chose, with a bit of Stickles on her magical wings. I've added a bloom to the tip of her wand as well. Come visit the Challenge Blog and see all the new adorable fairies, soon to be available at the Lacy Sunshine Crafter's Candy Shoppe. Also, if you've used a Lacy Sunshine image in the last challenge, don't forget to claim your "Loyalty Program digi". Find out how on the Challenge Blog.
And there's always lots going on at the Lacy Sunshine FB Group, too. Be sure to check out our ongoing Selfie Saturday Contest each week. See ya there.
I'm entering this in the Cute Card Thursday Too Cute challenge, the Alphabet Challenge, "P" is for Pretty Petals, Suzy Bee's Bloomin' Challenge ATG, the Petal Lu FB Challenge, Allsorts Sugar and Spice, Wags 'n Whiskers For the Girls and QKR Stampede Things With Wings.
It's coming up, so this week's Dilly Beans Challenge is For Mom.
Megan has some adorable new mermaids in the shop and I chose two that looked like Mother and daughter, #558 Ahmea and the little #560, Kiki, colored them with Copics and added them to a background I'd saved from some packaging, I think. I loved the colors and knew I'd use it some day. The ocean flora was cut from a felt coaster from M's that I blinged up with glitter and mica flakes and added glitter flowers as well.
I've had the metallic letters forever, too. Thought they looked like sunlight hitting the water and added a bit more bling for the Whimsical Designs Bling it Out Challenge. Fussy cutting the images was a bit of a challenge, but I love the way their hair and tail fins curled. Inside it says "As wide as the ocean, deep as the sea". There are more adorable examples For Mom from my teamies HERE. Take a look and come play along.
Im also entering this in the Alphabet Challenge F is for Fantasy, the ABC M is for Make it Sparkle Challenge, and the Crafter's Cafe Mother's or for a Female.
This week at Haunted Design House our challenge is to create a dark, Gothic or Halloween themed "bare bones" project meaning CAS with no dimensional embellishments. Guess I took that pretty literally. LOL Normally I have a problem with CAS, but I immediately thought of fellow Minion Ike's fabby Skellie Gossip and the card practically made itself. In my Printmaster Platinum program I added a frame and sentiment, plunked it on the card and called it done.
Oh, not quite. I did add a few shadows to the skellies with my Copics, but could this be any easier? Woohoo! Be sure to check out the rest of the Minion's fab examples at HDH and don't forget Wretched Wednesday for mid week inspiration and our winners from last week. Hope to see you back again to join our challenge. I'm telling you, you guys just keep getting better and better!
I'm also entering this in the That Craft Place Black and White Challenge, The Alphabet Challenge O for Only One Color Plus White, and Charisma Cardz No Embellishments.
There's a new challenge at The Papelitos Challenge Blog and it's right up my alley; Anything But Square. As you know, shaped cards are my THING so I had a ball with this one. I had many ideas, but finally settled on Devil. Love his devious expression. Ya know you can't win against the "House". LOL
Devil is colored with Copics, fussy cut and popped a top a shaped card made with my Cricut in Design Studio using the Father's Day cart. The cards are paper pieced. I was a little surprised that the cuts on Father's Day are mostly outlines and to make a blackout base, you have to hide all the contours. (PITA!) Worth the trouble though, because I love how it came out.
The sentiment is computer generated on a hand cut banner with cool skully brads that add to the dimension. There are lots of new images at the Papelitos Stamps Etsy Shop, and now until August 15, it's SALE time! Buy 3 and get the 4th FREE. Visit often, because there is always something new and Cris's eclectic style means there's something for EVERYONE. There's tons of inspiration at the Papelitos Challenge Blog so pop on over and take a look. There are prize winners every week, you don't have to use a Papelitos Stamp to enter (although we love it when you do) and at the end of each month, all those who entered the challenge with a Papelitos Stamp have another chance to WIN! There's even a Freebie to nab on the Challenge Blog and our Facebook Page. We currently have a DT call too and the deets are HERE.
I'm also entering this is the Paper Playtime Hot and Spicy with a Diecut or Punch challenge (oh, come on, ya can't get any hotter than the devil, LOL), Whoopsiedaisy Die cuts and/or Punches, the Alphabet Challenge M is for Men Only, ATC's and Cards with Attitude Anything Goes, Fat Pages and Cards with Attitude Anything Goes, Simply Create Too anything Goes (2nd entry) and Di's Digi Designs No Squares Allowed.
