BUGABOO Stamps Sketch Challenge

Hello, today I have a card for a sketch challenge from Bugaboo Stamps, a digi stamp company with some GREAT stamps.


If you have never visited their store you should check it out here. I used one of their amazing freebie stamps on my card. Can you believe this amazing stamp was a freebie?? I LOVE IT!! I love the big Easter egg and really had fun coloring it.



I love the sketch too, nice and simple. It highlights the great image. Today we actually have LOTS of wonderful sunshine and I love it but it made some little shadows on my picture from all of the trees we have around.....sorry about that.

Thanks for looking, I'll be back soon with another spring card.

2nd Day of Rusty Pickle Digi New Releases

Hello to my fellow stampers and Happy Tuesday!!!

Today is the 2nd day of our Rusty Pickle Digi's new releases and I have a card to share with you. I chose this beautiful coneflower image to preview, It reminded of the beautiful purple coneflowers I used to have at my old house. It also looks a lot like the Black Eyed Susans I had in that same flower garden. I know different people have different names for some of the same flowers, this is just what I have always called the purple and/or yellow flowers like these in the card.



I pulled out a package of Bazzill monochromatic purples for this. The image is colored with copics and the Atyou Spica markers with the BEST sparkle. Close to the center of the flowers I also used some Smooch Pearlized ink in Grape Soda. Two of the paper pieces are embossed with a Cuttlebug folder, the tag and oval dies are Spellbinders and the border punch is from Martha Stewart. That cute little thank you sentiment stamp with the tiny heart inside the O is from Heidi Grace.

The shine and sparkle of the image does not show well in a picture, but it looks great in person. Some of the other ladies on the Design Team have cards to share with you today, I will be back with that list in a bit. If you want to check now you can click on the names on my Rusty Pickle Design Team list to the right of this post.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for coming to my blog today, please leave a comment so I know you were here. Hope you have a wonderful day and tomorrow I will be back with my last of the new releases.

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!!
