I'm having a really hard time keeping up with blogging, FB and creating for this 12 Days of Christmas event, but here is another cutie from Sandra Caldwell, #1060 Bearly a Snow Teddy, that I've made into an ATC to enter into the Wicked Wednesday Winter Challenge, as well as the Outlawz Festive Fridays for First Snowflake Day. Used a Martha Stewart punch for more icicles and Stickles for some sparkle, along with mirror flakes and a Tim Holtz sentiment sticker.
I'm also adding this to the DL.Art November Linky Challenge, A Snowflake's Promise Seasons, C.R.A.F.T. Christmas, Crafting by Designs Little Animals, Inspiration Destination ATG, Simon Says Stamp Christmas Critters, Crafty Creations Animals.
I finally got it together enough to play in one of my fave challenges, Wicked Wednesday ATC. The challenge this week is Pink, Black and White, quite a fave of mine. I'm just under the wire, but here it it. Their sponsor this week is Ppinky Dolls which are about the sweetest images EVER, so of course, I used one of the beautiful images. This is Cloud Lily, and a precious one she is. I printed her pretty tiny and colored her minimally with Copics. (Not a problem with the beautiful shading already on the images, but fussy cutting was a bitch!). Her cloud behind is cotton and I've added a satin heart cut from trim. I'd been saving the DP in my stash forever and finally decided it was worth cutting into for this challenge. Hope you like.
I'm also entering this in the PPinkyDolls Valentine's FB challenge, Simon Says Monday Up in the Clouds, and Loves Rubber Stamps Pink and Girly.
Just under the wire at Wicked Wednesday again this week. The challenge is Sun and Surf and I had a hard time making up my mind. I finally decided on a new image from ADFD called Aloha Petals. I looked up some beach pix on the net and used the png form of the stamp to put her on it. There was no sun in the pic so I sponged a bit of Scattered Straw in the corner and colored her with Copics. The mat and title are from Graphic 45. I wish I were there.
Look Jenn! Some more sprays! Gettin' a major kick out of those Dylusions! This week's Wicked Wednesday ATC challenge is Things with Wings. Oh the possibilities! It's sponsored by one of my fave Digi companies, A Day For Daisies so I thought it fitting to use on of their images, Caterpillar Hugs from the Bug Love Past Release. I cut an ATC sized piece from one of my sheets I've been spritzing 'cause I thought it looked a bit like grass and sunshine and the mist was really fine. The image has some tiny detail so I printed it first directly on the background, then printed it again, colored it with Copics and fussy cut it without a border and glued it on. Voila! I didn't have to sacrifice the antennae and little hair whisps. Added a drangonfly brad, some small glitter flowers and a punch that was laying on my desk for the sun. Trimmed some stickers for the sentiment and called it done. It's been one long crafty week!
Just under the wire again for the Wicked Wednesday ATC challenge this week. The challenge is A Fairy Happy New Year, too cute! I also wanted to play in the ADFD Something Shiny Challenge so I chose this adorable digi called Christmas Delivery.
She's colored with Copics with Stickled wings and the details on her outfit shine with Spica pens. I first colored the ornament with Silver gel pen and then used Glossy accents to shine it up further. In person it looks like the glass ornaments you pour the floor wax into and coat with glitter from the inside. The DP has foil accents and is mounted on mirror board for further shine. The numbers were cut on my Cuttlebug (again in mirri) from my ancient Typeset Alphabet and I've added silver adhesive beads to the corners. Shiny enough? I sure hope so, but not the easiest to photograph. I rarely say a project looks better in person, but this one truly does.
And speaking of ADFD, you still have time to do their mini blog hop for a chance to win the new January Club Kit which is ADORABLE. Click HERE for deets. You have until Midnight January 10th CST.
I'm also entering this in the ATC's and Cards With Attitude Happy New Year challenge, the Simon Says Stamp and Show Embrace the Old challenge (numbers are cut with a very old Cuttlebug Alphabet), and Sparkle and Glitter with Rick St. Dennis New Beginnings Challenge (hopefully I can enter again with one of Rick's designs).
I love the whole idea of fairies and elves, don't you? I lived across the street from my grade school and the property included a little woodsy area beyond the playground. I'd peek in the hollows and under the leaves, imagining the magical folks that lived there. I was especially fond of jack-in-the-pulpit plants and even dug some up to replant in my secret garden behind my playhouse, knowing for sure that someone special was bound to move in. I was very excited that the Wicked Wednesday Challenge this week was Fairy Houses. I couldn't find a jack-in-the-pulpit digi, so I used the next best thing. Seems mushrooms are all the rage in the fairy community and this adorable one is the Fairy Fae House from Tiddly Inks. It's colored with Copics and gel pens and popped atop sweet DP from Heidi Grace. I've only recently begun to eat mushrooms, never liking them as a child. Wonder if that's because I didn't want to leave anyone homeless back then. LOL The little fairy on the flower is a rub-on, also from Heidi Grace and I've used adhesive epoxy letters to call it home.
I'm also entering this in the Anything Goes Challenge at ATC'S and Cards with Attitude.
