Pretty in Pink

Good morning!  Happy Wednesday!  We're halfway to the weekend, the sun is shining, what could be better?  I am popping in this morning to share a card I made for a couple of challenges.  I didn't think I'd have time to finish it today, but I did, so here I am.

Here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are SU Pretty in Pink and the patterned papers are from the Authentique Flourish 6x6 pad.  The beautiful image is Florence from Art by MiRan.  I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added some Ice White Pearl Pen accents to the flowers in her hair, her pendant and around the scalloped circle frame.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Some pearls and a few Wild Orchid Crafts roses finished my card.

Here is a close-up:

I am entering my card in the following challenges:

Here is my card:

I decided to make a circle easel card.  The card base and mats are SU Primrose Petals and the patterned paper is from the Kaisercraft Tea Break 6.5x6.5 pad.  I used my Spellbinders Grand Circles and Scalloped Circles dies to make the easel card.  The beautiful image is Sophie's Birthday Balloon from Elphine House Australia.  I colored it with my Copics and added a bit of glitter and Liquid Pearls.  The sentiment inside is stamped.  Some pretty lace, lots of flowers and a pearl spray finished my card.

Alcohol Markers Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a great week and you have fun plans for the weekend! After a cold and rainy day yesterday, the weather is looking up and it should be pretty nice for the weekend. Let's hope.  As always on Friday, I am here with my DT card for this week's Alcohol Markers Challenge on The Outlawz site.  The theme for the first challenge is March is "something sweet".  You can interpret this as you wish, but you must have coloring with alcohol markers (any brand) on your project.

Here is my "sweet" card:

My card base and mats are SU Bermuda Bay and the patterned papers are from the Crate Paper Maggie Holmes 6x6 pad.  The adorable image is Sweet Tooth from the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection.  Elisabeth is our sponsor for March and the DT got to use the digis that will be this month's prize.   I printed it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added some Glossy Accents to the candy machine.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few gems from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:
