Guest at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge

 Guest at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge beginning November 6th.

 There are so many marvelous images in the shop from angels to Steam Punk.
I'm using a sweet Sheep Ski image, Mika.  I'm not sure if I've done her justice, but I tried.  I used Copic markers Y04 on her gown and wings and lightly covered the wings with E11. I extended the yellow into the sky.  Yes, that was on purpose.

The Critters of June

Challenge - Critters

It's all about the Critters - any kind of critter, just be sure there's a critter on your project as well as using a die-cut machine to cut your images/borders/panels... or to dry emboss some part of your project.

SheepSki Designs is the sponsor for 
Die Cut Divas challenge.
You have until 9:00 p.m. Pacific to enter. 

I took the oval nature of the design of this image and magnified it with the dies I used.  I also got caught up in the monochromatic color of greens.  It somehow works and has almost a watercolor effect here.  

My first card is only about 5 1/2 X 3 1/2 inches, but I think it's so darn cute as just a little note.  And I've always wanted to use those clear enamel dots as bubbles, but never had the chance until now and I LOVE them bubbling up.  

My second card features a cute little elephant.

A Cute SheepSki Elephant Visits Today

 I wanted to make a cute and fast card today with very little coloring.  I opted for this cute elephant and wanted to try some digital backgrounds while I was playing.  Some stamping (clear stamps this time), a couple cool grays, blues and R01 Copics, some heat embossing on the sentiment and I was almost done.  I made some striped cards from leftovers and chose one of them to pop my elephant panel on.

June Opens with Critters from SheepSki Designs

Challenge - Critters

It's all about the Critters - any kind of critter, just be sure there's a critter on your project as well as using a die-cut machine to cut your images/borders/panels... or to dry emboss some part of your project.

SheepSki Designs is the sponsor for Die Cut Divas this month of June, so please join all the Divas for the challenge. 

  I thought these were just darling critters and I fussy cut these three guys and just had fun coloring them.  I didn't think they would work on red paper, but when I held these three up against the mini-slimline panel, I couldn't use any other paper and I TRIED, but always came back to the red paper.   I always had a mini-slimline card in mind when I sized and printed this digital image out, but I thought I would use a wood type of background to imitate a wood cabin look, but no, this worked out better than I thought.  I really just love it.

Time To Play WIth SheepSki Designs

 SheepSkiDesigns is the Die Cut Divas' sponsor for June and I'm happy to have some play time and give you some inspiration for their challenge. The theme is summer and the first thing I thought of was the beach. SheepSki Designs has the cutest beach scene and I've been wanting to color it for ages. I just got my change!

SheepSkiDesigns is offering a prize of three images of your choice!

Summer is the theme for Die Cut Divas this month and I couldn't resist making two cards.  One's a summer beach and the other must include taking pictures.  Here's my summer beach, all bright and sunny with lots of sand to put your toes in.

I had the best time coloring this.  Here's to coloring and having fun this summer.

My second card was just so much fun to color!  I did nick the top left corner and thought I'd draw some flying birds to cover it up.  Not sure they did, but I'm ok with it.  The SheepSki digital comes with two images (the other has a lighthouse scene in the camera lens).  Some of my marker ran into the smallest fingernail so I took a white pen to make the nails whiter.
