DECORATE Challenge at THE PAPER SHELTER Challenge

Happy Wednesday - it's time for a New Challenge at The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.   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!!   Don’t forget to sign up for the newsletter and you will get notices of all SALES and other SPECIALS going on! 

We also have a weekly challenge, with each DT team rotating weeks.  This week it’s Team Bs turn!  Challenge rules can be found here and our New Challenge can be found at The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.   Our challenge this week is DECORATE – so we are looking for lots of fabulous embellies on your projects.

Our very generous sponsor is The Paper Shelter, and winner can receive 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 The Paper Shelter products for your creation, you win 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 It’s Tea Time digital image from The Paper Shelter Shop.   I colored this wonderful image with Copics and cut out with my Cameo.

I chose to do something completely different for my card this week – no patterned paper!  I also used sepia tone colors and added a hint of vintage purple to the image.  I used wood and chipboard cut outs for most of my embellies.  All are covered with paint or glue plus “toppings.”  I used chunky glitter, prills, mica flakes, iridescent pearl paint, and glossy glue. 

For my background paper, I used a Tim Holtz stencil and then air brushed with my Copics.  I also added some ribbon from Create and Craft.  Sentiment is from a rubber stamp, stamped with VersaFine ink and then cut with A. Jillian Vance Designs die.

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

Hi everyone!   Time for our New Challenge at Digi Doodle Studios Challenge Blog sponsored by Digi Doodle Studios Shop.  Our theme this month is Crazy Little Thing Called LOVE – so show us LOVE on your creations.  Any type of crafting will qualify, just make sure to include a hand colored image. 

Our challenges run every month starting on the 1st of the month and ending on the 28th.   You can use any image you like on your creations.  There will be a prize of 2 digis for our winner who uses an image from Digi Doodle Studios Shop and 1 digi for our winner who uses an image not from Digi Doodle Studios Shop.

For today's card, I used My Girl Valentine image from Digi Doodle Studios Shop.  Image is colored with my Copics and Atyou Spicas and cut out with die from Gina Marie Designs.

I chose papers from Imaginisce.  I cut out the shaker heart with Tattered Lace dies and then added clear acetate and foam tape between the layers and put in various heart and other confetti.  Other hearts are cut with Nellie Snellin and Avery Elle dies.

Sentiment is from Love n' Hugs Sentiment set that can also be found at Digi Doodle Studios Shop.  I cut the sentiment out with Gina Marie Designs die and then daubed it with Distress Ink.

I finished my creation by adding Darice bling hearts.  Here is a closer view of the colored image.
