Spots and Snowflakes

Welcome back for our new challenge at Christmas with the Cuties! Our theme for this challenge is Spots and/or Snowflakes.

Our fab sponsor for this challenge is Fred She Said and they have generously donated a $10 gift certificate to their online store.

This sweet little image is Catchin' Fakes. This image brings back so many memories, my boys and I still do that when it snows, sigh....

I think I put too much emphasis on the contrast when I took this pic :)  I used Copic markers to color the image then I laid a snowfall stencil over the image and used distress inks to add the falling snow.  I also added stickles and some sequins over the image snowflakes then distressed the edges of the inner circle.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope to see your creations soon!

March Sketch Challenge

Are you ready for a new Sketch Challenge?! Creative Sketchy Girls are ready with a new sketch for you to play with and I am excited to see your interpretation!

Our sponsor for this "sketchy" challenge is Bugaboo Stamps and Jodie has graciously given us some fun and playful images to create with, thanks Jodie!

This cute little bunny is Garden Spring Bunny and if this image doesn't scream Spring then I don't know what does! I colored the image with Copic markers and used a variety of papers from my stash to create the layers and decided to add a sentiment on the top of the banner and a couple of enamel dots at the bottom to finish it off.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope our sketch as inspired you to join our challenge!

What's the Buzz?

 Spring has sprung here in beautiful British Columbia, the cherry blossoms are ... blossoming, the birds are singing, bees are buzzing and the rain is pouring, ugh.

Well, there is no rain in the forecast for our "Spring is in the Air" Challenge at  Creative Knockouts!  Our fab sponsor for our Spring challenge is Jan's Digi Stamps!

This image is from the Honey Bees collection, I really, really love this image.  I colored the image with Copic markers however I didn't color the bees as I didn't want to take away from the yellow in the beehive but I did add Wink of Stella which is difficult to see in the picture.  The sentiment is computer generated.  Kept the embellies simple with two flowers and a button.

As always, thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you join us for our challenge!

St. Patrick's Day

 I cannot believe the middle of March is already here!  As March appears, so does St. Patrick's Day/Green which is our Optional theme to our ATG Challenge at Creatalicious Challenges.

Our Sponsor for this challenge is Colour of Love and they will provide the winner of this challenge 3 digis of their choice!

For my card, Bowbo is showing off this wonderful Pot of Gold that we all know is at the end of the rainbow!  I'm not sure what this technique is called or if it even has a name, whatever it is I decided to try it.  I wasn't sure about what I was trying to accomplish but when I look at the final project, I'm happy with it.  

After coloring the inner image with Copic markers, I added foam tape to the back of the image for some extra dimension and matched it up as best I could with the black & white printed background. The green glitter background paper found in my stash is the perfect backdrop.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope to see your creations linked here!  

Prize:  3 Digis
