For my card this week, I chose

Regina digital image

from The Paper Shelter Shop, I colored her with Copics – I went with Sepia (brown) tones this week with a wee splash of color on her lips, cheeks and the bows on her boots.  I also added some gold using Atyou Spica.  She is cut out using the Print and Cut feature on my Cameo.

 

 

I chose papers and chipboard embellies from Kaisercraft, jute ribbon from my stash and sentiment from Eclectic Paperie cut with die from my stash.  The fold I used is a variation of an easel card.

 

I sure hope you like it and will come play along!!  Hugs

INSPIRATION WITH LADY LAHLA ANTHEA FROM FAERY INK

Hello everyone and Happy Thursday!   Well, I blinked, and *poof* summer ended.  I guess in terms of the lunar calendar, it is still summer here, but my kids returned to school today so figuratively, our summer is over.  In a way I am sad to see the kids head back to school, we had a fabulous summer, however, it does give me some more time to do my own projects, like crafting, tie dying and re-organizing my craft room for the hundredth time:)

I am sharing some inspiration with you today using one of this month’s new releases from Faery Ink Shop.   I have chosen the fabulous Lady Lahla Anthea Digital Stamp this month for my inspiration post.  This stunning image can be found in the Faery Ink Shop.  As always, Amanda's images from Faery Ink Shop are super fun to color - always so many options and often great scenery included in the image.

I decided this beauty was a bride (a bridesmaid would have also suited this gorgeous image, but I wanted to make her a bride).  I chose very soft colors this time around, something I usually stay away from, but I do like to push myself to try new things and do not want all my creations to look too similar.  I think the softer colors worked great and really help bring out the true depth of this wonderful image, I hope you agree.  I chose a fancy fold, I actually combined two fancy folds to make one large fancy fold and I just love how this fold nicely showcases the image without detracting from all the details of the image.

Image is colored with Copics and cut out using my Cameo.  These papers are from an Echo Park collection, ribbon is seam binding from my stash and the presents on the left side are stickers from my stash.  Additionally I added some Prima pearls.

Copics used:

Hair:  E79, E47, E57, E23

Face/Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R21

Lips: RV34, E04

Gown: RV34, RV11, RV10 and lots of colorless blender

Flowers are various combos of RV66, RV55, RV53, RV34, RV32, RV11, Y08, Y11, Y13, B00, B02, YR23 and YR21.

Flower leaves are YG67, YG17, YG03

Sure hope you like my creation and hopefully it has given you some inspiration.  Please pay a visit to the Faery Ink Shop to see all the wonderful images there, especially the most recent New Releases!!  Also, come play along in our monthly FB challenge - FUN IN THE SUN  - you can check it out at Faery Ink Facebook Group.  Wishing you all a great week!
Hugs:)

NEW CHALLENGE AT THE PAPER SHELTER–BIRTHDAY WISHES

Happy Wednesday, it's time for a New Challenge at The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.    Before I get to the details of the challenge, I just want to say sorry for my absence of posts recently.  My kids went back to school today and the past few weeks have been just insane getting ready for that as well as my older son’s soccer tryouts and first few weeks of practices and scrimmages.  Then, on Sunday, my laptop stopped booting up and I have been without it since Monday.  I am supposed to have it back today.  I am thankful to have other computers in the house, but I adore my laptop and I miss having it and being able to transport it vs. being stuck in one room at the same desk with the desktop computer that is ethernet connected.

 

Anyway, if you are unfamiliar with The Paper Shelter Shop, I suggest that you go pay a visit, they have so many awesome images and they come with digi papers, backgrounds, etc.  Plus, there's a customer rewards program that is awesome.   Trust me, you will love it!!

 

We also have a weekly challenge, with each DT team rotating weeks, so this week it is Team B hosting the challenge.  Challenge rules can be found here and our New Challenge can be found at The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  This week's challenge is BIRTHDAY WISHES!

 

Our very generous sponsors are Veronica and Pedro, owners of The Paper Shelter, and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30 to spend at The Paper Shelter Shop - you win this prize if you have used one of their products on your card, this could be an Image, Backing Paper or Printable.  If you do not use one of their products for your creation, they will give you a prize of 3 digi images of your own choice from The Paper Shelter Shop - wow, you can't beat that!  Please don't forget if you wish to enter several times that we limit this to 3 entries and at least one of those must carry one of our The Paper Shelter Shop products.

 

For my card this week, I chose

Birthday Present digital image

from The Paper Shelter Shop, I colored her with Copics and cut out using the Print and Cut feature on my Cameo.

I used papers from Doodlebug Designs, stickers from my stash, bling dots from Your Next Stamp, ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon and a cupcake charm from my stash that I tied on with hemp cord.  Flowers are from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

 

 

As I often do, I decided to make a fancy fold card.  I think I saw this called a “double fold” somewhere, but not sure exactly where I found it.  I think it displays the image really well.

 

 

I sure hope you like it and will come play along!!  Hugs
