POLKA DOT PARTY!!

Here is my card ;)

I used several different techniques here:

1. Air brushed the clouds with eBrush

2. Used a brayer and ink to color just the dots

3. Used Post-it tape to mask the branch

Thanks for coming by to check out

my card for the challenge!

Happy Stampers "Anything Goes with Dies"!

Happy Little Stampers

Anything goes...  with die cuts!

I believe they have a new challenge every month starting on the 9th.

This cutie is called 

"Bekkah Bloom"

You can purchase her HERE!

Upper right photo: I colored Bekkah with the

Copic markers shown.

My entry

includes dies and falls

into the 

"Anything Goes" 

category. 

This time around, I picked

the paper first, 

and then colored her to match :)

How do you color YOUR 

images? Do you pick the paper first, or color your image first? 

Thanks so much for stopping by to see 

my entry for this challenge!

Pile it On paired with the Card Concept Challenge!

The Card Concept

and

Pile it On!

Pick 3 in a row AND add on a "theme" from another 

card challenge blog. Then post!

Our Challenge begins every other Sunday at 7AM CST (U.S.), and closes on Saturday at 11:55PM CST

Please visit their site for the rules!

I was inspired by the image of the teacup by the soft colors and the cup itself. 

I adore working with all things "tea"!!

From Pile it On I chose

1. Emboss

2. Image

3. Die cut

You can find this adorable Sherri Baldy image

HERE!

(Side note, my printer was running out of ink, which is why I got this

muted coloring in my image)

Or, if you want her to be a blank canvas for you to color the way you need

for your project, click HERE!

If you like the die cut I used for 

the teacups, you can get 

this FREEBIE from "Beyond The Fringe"

blog HERE :)

Inspired by Penny Black!

Hello friends!

Here is the video that inspired me:

I used Tim Holtz distress inks on

a craft mat, spritzed with water to create

the stunning background and 

flower colors :)

These can be used as stand alone

cards, or as adornments to hand made cards!

Let me know in the comments

what videos/techniques have inspired

you this week!
