A Pressing Matter

This is Madye Pressing Matters, she is a Lacy Sunshine digi, I'm in love or addicted to these charming images, I did her on one of "THOSE" days that we all have.  I was refilling my Copics the refill bottle was stuck, then suddenly open all over me a nice reddish brown.  Then I overfilled a few of my Copics, I'd have an image 3/4 colored and all of a sudden there would come out a big blog of ink from the overfilled marker, usually in the face area.  Now I figure I'll just color for the heck of it getting some of the over fill out, well, none came. 

I just chose what I thought to be tacky colors after all it's house work let's make it bright at least putting little or no thought into this one, lo and behold I ended up liking her and look - no blobs.

I'm entering her into the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog - Anything Goes.  You might want to visit the online store Lacy Sunshine A Crafter's Candy Shoppe so many charming images to choose from, or go to their blog for some inspiration A Crafter's Delight .

A Friend Is

These little darlings are from Mo's Digital Pencil named "A Friend is......." A cute sentiment comes with it :  A friend is someone who knows you and loves your anyway", I forgot to put it on the upper left of my card.  This is why I have a birdcage there as it was looking kind of bare and the bird cage came to mind.  Oh well just another senior moment for me I guess.

Now I'm off to enter it into the Bronte and Bella's challenge Anything goes with a Mo's image.




Colored with Copics, a little Glossy Accents here and there, embossed on my Cuttlebug, die cuts are from Memory box and a little pearl to top it off.

The Dark Side

This is Amelia Curiosity and this is my first time playing with a curiosity from Lacy Sunshine a Crafter's Candy Shoppe. Heather (artist and leader of the group) was kind enough to let the group choose a  free digi  for the contest at  Lacy Sunshine a Crafter's Delight FB group.  I'm not sure what I think of this card as usually I go for "cute" rather than the "dark side" but I had to at least give it a try and I did enjoy coloring her.  You can also visit the Lacy Sunshine blog here and the Lacy Sunshine Gang on FB

There are so many adorable, different characters in her shop it really is worth visiting.

Colored with Copics, die cut from MFT, sentiment is from a Tim Holtz stamp.

Two of my friends actually liked this card so I made a second so each could have one but I can't do 2 identical cards so wanted the comparison on here and here it be.

A Bird in the Sky

This image I used is from a Tim Holtz collection named Urban Tapestry, one of my favorites.  I stamped the bird with Versa Mark, embossed with clear powder, using Distress inks (salty ocean, squeezed lemonade, pickled raspberry)  & sponge holders I sponged in the colored background.  It turned out darker than planned so I spritzed the whole front with water and gently rubbed with a towel.  I thought it would leave spritz marks but nope, all clear.  The die cuts are from MFT. I layered to an embossed (cuttlebug) cs, then to a white card.

Challenges:

Violet

I was told you get the best pictures with natural light, I hope this is true as I've been going out on my deck in 15 degree cold to take my pictures.  Then the dogs (3) decide they too want to come, they don't rush and they don't worry about me standing in my Tshirt waiting for them freezing, the little darlings.  Yesterday was the coldest day in over 66 years but at least it was sunny, dry, no snow so I'm not complaining.

This is Violet one of Lacy Sunshine's Flower Pot Pretties, she was generously given to me by Heather Valentin to enter into the in the Lacy Sunshine Facebook challenge as well as post her to the Lacy Sunshine Gang FB page and my blog.

I've colored her with my Copics, layered her face as I messed up on the first one, guess this is what's called "double faced" :).  Next I added Glossy Accents, glitter in some spots, punched the butterflies with my MS punch from cs I colored on my gel plate, a few gems and pearls and there she be.

Clean And Simple

This week the theme for the challenge at the Come and Get It Blog is CAS or Clean and Simple. Sounds simple but for me I tend to over due wanting to put way too much on one card,  so, this was difficult.  This is what I came up with using some die cuts, some white card stock embossed with my cuttlebug.

Some days I like getting messy playing with various spray inks on water color paper or heavy duty cs, so I spray, let it run spray some more spray with water, then I save a lot of the paper to use with my dies and or  punches.  This is how the leaves, and butterflies have been colored.

I hope you'll come visit the Come And Get It challenge you may be inspired when you see what the other team members have created and join in.  Looking forward to seeing your creations.
