Sweet Pea September challenge

The challenge at 'One Sweet Challenge' is really a color challenge, use brown, yellow, orange, and red in honor of Autumn.

I got the perfect image, it Norma Burnell's "Hoot Owl".

Check out the images here. AWESOME!

Colored with prisma colored pencils. I used an embossing folder from cuttlebug. My DSP is from SU, I wet embossed with a decorative corner.

Lacy Sunshine Challenges #16

Our challenge is to use die cuts and/or punches, Well I used both and a beautiful Lacy Sunshine image 'Hannah'. She arrived in JPEG and PNG. Yesterday I did a little tutorial on PNG's, found here.

Since came in PNG which is a transparent border, I made my own background with my SU software 'MDS2'

Isn't she pretty and there are lots more pretty images here (check them out)

I cut out my basic card with spellbinders, the flourish die cut is from SU. the butterflies and the bird is a stamp and matching punch from SU. 

My image and butterflies and bird are colored with prisma colored pencils. The border punch is from 'Martha Stuart' I think...and the flowers are stickers.

I popped up alot of my elements with dimensional dots.

Created With Love #56

Hi! Our challenge at 'Created With Love Challenges' is CHRISTMAS SNOWFLAKES! Oh, I love snowflakes but Chris 'it isn't making me feel cooler. LOL!' It sure is a fun challenge though and helps me get a jump on Christmas cards!

I made a circular easel card using my winnings, a Bugaboo image 'Santas Reindeer globe' (isn't it fantastic?!)

I colored it with copic markers and boy was that scary, I kept telling myself 'It's only paper' Not being experienced with printer ink, I thought it was going to run! I embossed one of my circles with a cuttlebug folder but first I colored the folder with white ink. (just to see what would happen and I actually liked the effect) The ribbon is from SU. The snowflake sequins are from my stash.

I wet embossed a snowflake and punched it out with a matching punch from SU. Of course I added stickles and bling.

613 Avenue Create #35

The challenge for 613 Avenue Create is Anything Goes w/an optional twist 'Spotlighting' Never done that before but they have a video on the blog. Cool Technique!

I used a Digi Darla image 'Expecting Momma'

I used a cuttlebug embossing folder and rubbed ink over the embossing. The butterfly is from SU and I used a word window punch from SU also. I found a piece of ribbon in my stash.
