artbymiran Anything Goes

Here's a one layer CAS card for another challenge I've been meaning to enter more regularly.  It's for the artbymiran ATG Blog Challenge as well as the ATG Challenge on the FB page.  Both the stamp and paper are  from artbymiran, the DP is a freebie from the FB group page that I recolored to red (yes, I used it yesterday, too) and the gorgeous girl is Coraline #106.  I flipped Coraline before placing her on the digi paper because I thought that orientation looked better with the paper design and added the sentiment before printing.  Then I colored her with Copics and Prismacolor pencils.  I considered embellishments, but thought none were needed with the beautiful image.

I'm also entering this in the Simon Says Monday Love is in the Air+Red, the Craft Rocket CAS Challenge, Inspiration Destination ATG, the Outlawz Monday Greeting Cards ATG, Creative Fingers ATG and Simon Says Wednesday ATG.

Wicked Wednesday ATC "Hearts" Challenge

One of my New Year's resolutions is to get back to joining in some of my favorite challenges, like my dear friend Jenn's Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge.  The theme this week is "Hearts".  I just joined the Sandra Caldwell Stamp Fans FB Group so I couldn't wait to color up her adorable 526 Arrow In My Heart and use her for the challenge. What a cutie, eh?  She's colored with Copics, fussy cut and mounted on freebie digi paper from the Artbymiran FB Group.  I changed the color of the digi paper (from black to red) and shrank it down to ATC size in my Printmaster Platinum Program.  The little epoxy hug and kiss is a sticker from American Greetings.

I'll also be entering this in the Sandra Caldwell (FB) January Progressive Challenge, 613 Avenue Create ATG, the Outlawz Saturday Paper a la Mode Not Your Usual Size challenge and Simon Says Monday Love is in the Air + Red.

Artbymiran FB Progressive Challenge

Okay, here's one just under the wire.  It's for the February FB Progessive Challenge at Artbymiran.  The beautiful image is called Gem and I received her for free because I played in January's challenge.  You can join in the challenge at anytime by purchasing the "Reserve Listing" in the artbymiran Etsy shop (at 50% off), but after that, as long as you enter the challenge, your next month's digi is for free. Cool!  I had a hard time deciding what colors to choose, but eventually went with blue.  She's colored with Copics with some Stickles on her diamond and matted with holographic and glitter paper for extra sparkle.  To add further shine I added gems by Jolee's Boutique and metallic swirls from Colorbok.

I didn't mean to wait 'til the last day.  Her hair and skin were colored for weeks but I gotta say, the dress intimidated me a bit.  Great practice and all in all, I'm pretty pleased with how it came out.

I'm also entering this in the Artbymiran ATG challenge, the Scrapbooker PhD Bling Challenge, the Simon Says Monday "B" is for (bling) challenge, Digi Galore It's All About Her, Fab 'n' Funky Focus on the Image, Crafting for All Seasons Girly Girls, 613 Avenue Create ATG/w optional Use Aquamarine and Eureka Stamps ATG.

I'm trying hard to get ahead with my DT stuff so I can actually play in some of the challenges for some of the bazillion other fab digis I collect.   Well, today I'm sharing a beautiful stamp from artbymiran, called Petal Blossom (get yours HERE), which is part of her "Progressive Challenge" on FB.  She was a secret until you purchased her at a fab discount price and then, when you create with her before the deadline (hurry, it ends tomorrow), you'll receive the next month's for free. WooHoo! She's colored with Copics, cut with a Spellbinders Scalloped Circle and mounted on 2 petal cuts from Spellbinders Grand Dahlias. I've added some punched butterflies from MS with tiny gem bodies and a triple organdy bow.  Wow, this is PINK, eh?!

I'm also adding this to the artbymiran ATG Blog Challenge #25,  Simon Says Monday Red+Pink, The Cheerful Stamp Pad Springtime challenge, Whoopsi Daisy Pretty in Pink, Inkspirational Rose Colors Challenge, Digi Galore ATG, and Crafts Galore Encore Use a Stamp or Digi.
