Sparkle Challenge by Club Anya & Friends

Here's another card I made for one of the New Years challenges over at Club Anya and Friends. I continue to practice coloring, using the markers from the monthly Copic Club at Paper Maniac(if you are interested in just trying copics I highly recommend this club, I have a blinkie you can click on over to the right). Lately I have been working on different skin and hair colorings. Around here we have different skin coloring and it also changes in the summer, so I'm trying to figure out which markers work best. I'm also trying to figure out what I like for our dark brown hair with either red or lighter brown highlights. The skin color on this card turned out darker than I wanted but I still like the look.
I LOVE to add sparkle to my images using the atyou spica twinkle markers over my copics. Here is a close up of her. I also used
Prima Design paper
Bazzill Cardstock
DCWV glitter paper
Basic Grey square purple bling
Spellbinders dies cuts and border
Tattered Angels Dazzling Diamonds glimmer mist
Unity sentiment stamp from the Little Buggers set

THANKS for stopping here!!

Winning is So MUCH FUN!!!!

Yesterday during Unity Friends with Flair I had the blinke to win 25 random Unity stamps on my blog. The winner is JenMarie!!! Congrats to you and please email the super talented Eryn at eryn@unitystampco.com.

I was ALSO a winner yesterday!!!! I won a GREAT prize from the 7 Gypsies Blog!! Here is what they said...
"you have won a prize package that has an ATC spinner and all the fixings to go with it...you are going to love it, So much stuff"
WOW!!! I am so excited to get that package it will be like Christmas!!! In the past month I have won 3 scrappin/stampin prizes, I am usually not lucky at all and just don't win things. I guess my luck has changed...at least for a little while!! The 1st prize was a store credit from Paper Maniac, which was GREAT to have for the Dec Copic Club they have. Anyone interested in trying out copics should check it out, it's really great, you get some markers and a tutorial. The 2nd was the I {HEART} TWILIGHT giveaway from Tattered Angels, Including the very last bottle of twilight glimmer mist on their shelves and dazzling diamonds...named after Edward, candy apple red, and cinder. These colors are awesome, I have had so much fun using them so far!!! Now the 7 gypsies, I am so thankful for all of these.

Thanks to all that visited yesterday, it was very fun to host Friends with Flair. I LOVE UNITY stamp Co. so much!!! Their stamps are amazing, but even more amazing is how they treat their "friends" and customers!! They are truly a top-notch business all around, something that isn't very easy to find. I am so glad I found them back in September of 2008!
