Cards Galore Encore Challenge 2: Bling it Up!


Challenge 2: Bling it Up! is live at Cards Galore Encore 
This month create a project and add a gem, pearl, or some glitter etc. Easy peasy right?

Our Sponsor is Scrapper's Delights and the prize is 3 of their Digis

I fell in love with Scrapper's Delights Love Fairy 2 and thought it was perfect for Valentine's Day. It is February... ya know!! It comes with and without wings, colored or not colored. It's so versatile and fun to color. Minimal shading is needed to make this image look it's best. I re-sized it (to make it bigger) in word before printing. The quality and array of digis at Scrapper's Delights is second to none!

Here's a closer view of the coloring (to see the whole card scroll down). I am new to coloring and having fun learning new techniques. To create the color for the hair I combined gray and blue. Any coloring tips are greatly appreciated. Just leave me a comment below! Thanks!

To bling it up, I added ultra fine glitter with a quickie glue pen to her outfit and some love glitter tape across the bottom of the card. A little will do ya for this challenge but feel free to add more to your project entry if you like!

Supplies:
  • Scrapper's Delights - Love Fairy 2
  • Copic Xpress It Blending card

Here's the whole card. I am so into washi and glitter tape these days! I can't get enough of it. It offers just the right amount of contrast and style. I also love the combo of pink, hot pink and white. The standing sentiment is from The Stamps of Life and is the perfect accompaniment for the image.


I hope you enjoyed this presentation and will consider entering the challenge this month! I can't wait to see your entires (3 max).

My Guest Design Post for Cards/Crafts Galore


I'm honored to have been invited to be the very first guest designer for the Crafts/Cards Galore Challenge Blog in the United Kingdom!!! It's August (can you believe it?!) and it's time for a challenge!! Here's a sneak peek at my project. Can you guess what the challenge is?????



It's a Bingo challenge!!! Should you choose to accept this awesome challenge, create a project using any three elements in the grid that connect horizontally, vertically or diagonally!




The challenge sponsor is Scrapper's Delights. The lucky winner will receive $10 to spend on their digis in the Scrapper's Delights store!



Here's the card I created using the birthday, flowers, embossing line on the bingo card. My vision started with one of the fairies in the Scrapper's Delights - Pixie Corner Digi Set 1. I chose this one because it reminds me of my 8 year old daughter. After spending lots of time coloring this lovely digi,  I designed the birthday card with the challenge elements. It was very hard to choose because everything I wanted to use did not connect on the bingo grid. But I LOVE a good challenge!! Don't you?


Copics:

  • Outline B0000
  • Hair C1, C3, C5, BV23, B95
  • Skin E33
