Moving Along with the Times

Hi to all my crafty peeps, Moving Along with the Times has another challenge happening, this time the inspiration is Fall or Autumn.
I'm super excited about this one because I"M HOSTING!!

Not only will I be picking the top 3, but I've got a small prize to be given to one of the participants at random.

Below is my card...

The images are from Red Lead, a company I recently discovered, and already have spent way too much there, lol. The images are colored in with Copic markers.

I used a die cut and placed it on top, after coloring the background in with Distress Inks. Next I fussy cut the images out and pop dotted them up for added dimension.

The background is glitter print paper for added sparkle.

Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to check out my card. Don't forget to swing by and enter the challenge!!
Happy crafting!

World Wide Open DT Challenge

Hi my crafty peeps, The latest challenge over at World Wide Open Challenge Design Team blog is open. Why not hop on over and enjoy the fun?

Here is my latest bit of inspiration...

I love mermaids, and Julia's image is no exception.
She was colored in with Copic markers, with details being added with a white gel pen and a glitter pen..

The embellies are real shells, which seemed fitting for the under the sea theme.

The background was made from a Memory Box die. I wanted to have a curtain look to the background, so I did mirror images of the corner die.

World Wide Open Design Team Challenge

Hi my crafty peeps, The latest challenge over at World Wide Open Challenge Design Team blog is open. Why not hop on over and enjoy the fun?

Here is my latest bit of inspiration...

I would have to say out of all of Julia's amazing images, this one is my favourite.
I love the profile, upswept hair, just the whole vintage feel. Since this was done in grayscale, I used Prisma Colored Pencils.
The embellies are fussie cut from scrap paper I had left over from Graphic 45 and the pearls were all put on one at a time.

Moving Along with the Times - Challenge

Hi to all my crafty peeps, Moving Along with the Times has another challenge happening, this time the inspiration is For the Boys. Below is my card...

The image I used is from The Greetin Farm. The stamp is from an older set, but they have a lot of great stamps.
Since the card was for my nephew - Happy birthday Logan! - I couldn't jazz it up too much, so I ended up putting on wooden embellies

Of course I colored him in with Copic markers.
