Copic/Promarker Challenge - The Outlawz

Hi again!  I'm up now and back with my DT card for this week's Copic/Promarker Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is the ever-popular "anything goes".  If you have been collecting our free calendar page templates all year, the December calendar page and printing instructions are available in the challenge thread.

Here is my "anything goes" card:

My card base and mats are SU Not Quite Navy and the patterned paper is from the Basic Grey Oxford 6x6 pad.  The fun vintage collage image is called "Oh Hell, No".  It's from our November CPC challenge sponsor, That's Fabulous!.  I printed it on Make it Colour Blending card and colored it with my Copics.  I had a bit of trouble with my dark blue markers, so the pleats/folds on her dress are a little wonky, but I didn't have time to go back and redo the whole thing..  The sentiment is from the same digistamp set.  I sponged around the image with a bit of Antique Linen Distress Ink for a more aged look.  A Not Quite Navy taffeta bow, three Wild Orchid Crafts Open Roses and two sets of three ivory pearls finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to pop by the Copic/Promarker Challenge and check out the fabulous projects from my DT sistahs!  We hope you will play along in our last challenge of November.  As I mentioned, the November challenges were sponsored by Mischelle at That's Fabulous!.  One randomly-chosen participant in our challenges will win three digis and a paper pack from That's Fabulous!.  Mischelle's site appears to be under construction right now, but I'm sure it will be up soon.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Fab 'n Funky #150 (three of something - I used 3 flowers, and two sets of three pearls)
Crafting For All Seasons #41 (use flowers)
Friday Sketch Challenge #31 (sketch by Debra)

Here is the sketch, which I flipped one turn:

Have a terrific Friday and great weekend and I hope to see you soon!

Guylou's Inimitability Challenge

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  It's super early and if all goes well, I will still be sleeping when you see my post.  I'm here to share my DT card for the new challenge at Guylou's Inimitability.  Guylou is our wonderful host this time and the theme is "Twisted Christmas".  Guylou is challenging us to create a project with non-traditional Christmas colors.

Here are the challenge details:
Challenge Deadline:
You have until 10:00 PM (EDT) on December 13th to link your project to the Inlinkz at the end of the challenge post.
How to participate:
You may enter only ONE project per challenge, but if you use a Guylou's Inimitability digistamp, your project will count for two entries.  If you don't have one of Guylou's digistamps, you can check the online store where several freebies are available.  
Challenge Prizes:
A winner will be selected randomly and will win:

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are GKD Turquoise Sea and the patterned papers are from the Jillibean Soup Winter Tortellini and Spinach Soup 6x6 pad.  My cute holiday image is Roger and Leah - Christmas 1 from Guylou's Inimitability.  I printed them on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored them with my Copics.  I used primarily turquoise, pink and brown for my non-traditional color combo.  Hopefully I won't get marked off for having just a smidge of red and green!  I added Stickles and Liquid Pearls here and there for some added sparkle and dimension.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It is from the recent Winter Club that Paulette shared.   I kept the embellishments to a minimum, but added a few iridescent pink gems to finish my card.

Here is a close-up of Roger and Leah:

Little Miss Muffet Challenge - Tag or Gift

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Hope you've had a good week so far!  Only one more day until the start of the weekend!  I know I'm ready, but I am getting a bit ahead of myself.  Thursday means it's time for my DT post for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  We have a new challenge starting today.  The theme this time is "tags or gifts".  How perfect is the theme for this time of year?  I don't know about you, but I am starting to stress a little about how close the Christmas holidays are and how few cards and gifts I have done!

I chose to do a tag for one of my Christmas gifts:

My tag base and mats are GKD Red Hot and the patterned paper is from the DCWV Winter Holiday 12x12 pad.  I love all the festive patterns in this pad and all the sparkle!  My adorable image is Swings 'n Slides Happy Mail from Little Miss Muffet Stamps. I printed it on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added lots of sparkly accents with Stickles and Crystal Snow glitter.  The sentiment is a recent freebie from Paulette at Create With TLC.  I added a large snowflake cut out of turquoise glitter paper with a Marianne Design die.  Some lime green wrinkled ribbon finished off my tag.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Little Miss Muffet Challenge blog and check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the DT and our Guest Designer, Shelly.  We hope you will be inspired to play along!  You have until Tuesday, December 10 to enter your project.  If you use a Little Miss Muffet stamp, you can play along with "anything goes" as your theme.

Elisabeth Bell's World November/December Challenge

Good morning!  Happy Sunday!  Hope you've had a good weekend so far!  It's finally gotten chilly here, but the sun is still shining, so I can't complain.  Before I head out for the day, I am popping by to share my GDT card for the new monthly challenge at Elisabeth Bell's World.  The theme for November/December is "a different folding".  I chose to make a center step card for my different folding project.  It is simple to do but looks very special, at least to me.  And the great thing is it still fits in the standard envelopes I use for my regular square cards.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are GKD Cranberry Tart and the patterned papers are from the K & Co. Elizabeth Brownd Visions of Christmas 12x12 pad.  The adorable image is Belles 'n Whistles The Christmas Door from Elisabeth Bell.  I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Make it Colour Blending Card and colored with my Copics.  I added lots of Stickles to the ornaments on the tree and wreath, the poinsettia and her little petticoat.  Over the glitter on the ornaments, I added Glossy Accents to give them even more dimension.  I went over a few of the other details with Spica pens for a subtle shimmer.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It was part of Paulette's recent, and I must say fantastic, Winter Club.  Several adhesive pearls and a large silk bow finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by my blog!  Be sure to visit Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge and feast your eyes on the gorgeous creations from The Digi Bells DT and GDT!  You have until December 22  6 PM Arizona Time to join in on the challenge using any Elisabeth Bell image.  Hope you'll play along!

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
One Stop Craft Challenge #206 (vintage Christmas)

Eclectic Ellapu #7 (celebrate with sparkle)

The Digi Bells Guest DT

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  I have a very busy day ahead, but I am popping in to share the card I made for The Digi Bells Blog.  As one of this month's Guest DTs, it is my turn to showcase one of Elisabeth Bell's adorable digital stamps.  Since I am way behind with making my Christmas cards, that is what I did for today.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are GKD Lipstick Red and the patterned paper is from the Recollections Botanical Noel pad.  The sweet image is the new Elisabeth Digital stamp that was released from the vault last week.  She is called Holly's Happy Mail and she is available in the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection here.   I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics in traditional Christmas colors and matted her on some gold mirror card.  I added two Cheery Lynn diecuts (Border Carnivale and Tropical Flourish) cut from the same gold mirror card.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It was part of the Winter Club.  I matted that on mirror card, too.  A shimmery poinsettia from Jolee's finished my card.

Here is a close-up of Holly:

Copic/Promarker Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  It's still morning, isn't it?  Things are a bit of a blur for me these days.  Hope everyone in the US had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.  Are you shopping today?  I don't do Black Friday even if I could, but I'm still popping by real quick with a Black Friday card for you.  That's right, the theme for this week's Copic/Promarker Challenge at The Outlawz is "shopping" - perfect timing for today!

Here is my DT card:

My card base and mats are SU Pear Pizzazz and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Merry 6x6 pad.  My cute shopping image is Dani with Gifts from Mo's Digital Pencil.  You can find it in Mo's store here.  I printed her on Cryogen White and colored her with my Copics.  I added some Stickles and Liquid Pearls here and there.  I added Snow Glitter to the trim on her coat and the snow on the ground for a little extra texture.  I sponged the sky with SU Soft Sky.  Some Pear Pizzazz seam binding and a few dimensional ornament stickers (K & Co. Grand Adhesions) finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Little Miss Muffet Challenge - Textiles

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Hope you've had a good week!  Sorry I've been MIA again, but I have a family member who's been ill and there has not been any extra time for crafting or blogging.  Still, I couldn't miss my DT post for the new Little Miss Muffet Challenge! Yes, we have a new challenge starting this week and the theme is "textiles" - use fabric, lace, yarn, etc. on your creation.  There are so many possibilities for this one!

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Blue Bayou and the patterned paper is from the K & Co. Elizabeth Brownd Christmas 12x12 pad.  I love that these papers can create a scene all on their own.  For my textiles, I cut and stitched a scrap of white felt over the snow in the scene to add dimension.  The cute winter image is Saffron from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  She was a freebie last year and I think she was my first LMM stamp!  I fell in love with all of the cute images at LMM and the rest is history!  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added some Stardust and Gun Metal Stickles to her skirt and coat buttons, White Opal Liquid Pearls to the pom poms on her scarf, and some white glitter to her hat brim and muff.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It is part of the Enjoy The Snow set in Paulette's store here.  A few Jolee's sparkly snowflake stickers finished my card.

Here is a close-up of Saffron:

Thankful For Heroes

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a good week and you are gearing up for a fun weekend!  I've had a lot going on this week and it sure has eaten into my crafting and blogging time.  I'm hoping the weekend brings a little down time for working in my craft room. Before getting going with my day, I'm here to share my DT card for this week's Copic/Promarker Challenge at The Outlawz.  The theme this time is Remembrance Day (tribute to veterans or any other special remembrance).  You must do some coloring with alcohol markers (any brand), but otherwise how you interpret the theme is up to you.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are GKD Green Apple and the papers are from the Authentique Loyal 6x6 pad.  While not really camouflage, I thought the colors and patterns of the papers still worked with the theme.  My adorable image is Soldier Boy from Mo's Digital Pencil.  You can find him in Mo's store here.  I printed him on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored him with my Copics.  I made the camouflage pattern on his clothes and hat by dabbing with my BG95, BG93 abd BG91 markers. The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.   A double-loop navy taffeta bow and a few stars punched from green glitter paper finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

My card base and mats are SU Night of Navy and the two patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Moments 6x6 pad. I punched the borders of the vertical panel with an EK Success Fleur de Lis Edger Punch. My fun image is Lotus Traveling from Guylou's Inimitability.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added some Buttercup Liquid Pearls to her necklace, buttons and handbag handle.  I also added Glossy Accents to her glasses.  Of course, I had to add a feather to her hat! The image was cut out and matted with Spellbinders Petite Ovals dies. The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  Three Wild Orchid Crafts roses finished my card.

Here is a close-up of Lotus:
