Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge February/March

Good morning!  Happy Wednesday!  Hope you've been having a good week so far!  Believe it or not, we are under a Winter storm warning and a state of emergency has been declared in Alabama!  It's just started drizzling now, but we may get freezing rain or snow throughout the morning.  Good grief!  Anyway, I am here now with a "two-fer".  Today starts the new Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge.  The theme is "pink".  It is also my turn to post some inspiration for you on the Digi Bells DT blog, so I've combined my projects.

Here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are GKD Innocent Pink and the patterned paper is a digital paper from Michele Roos designs.  The darling image is Rachel, Little Angel from the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection.  I have colored her in soft pastels with my Copics.  The sentiment is stamped.  Some pretty lace, Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and a few pearls from my stash finished my card. 

Here is a close-up:

Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge - August/September

Good morning!  Happy Monday!  I hope you had a good weekend and your week is off to a great start.  I haven't been around the computer much of late and I apologize for not visiting regularly.  There is just a lot going on right now and I'm scrambling to get everything done.  Hopefully it will calm down soon.  Anyway, I am here now to share my DT post for the new Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge.  The theme this time is "pretty in pink".  It should be any easy one for you!  Remember you must use an Elisabeth Bell image, but it can be from any company selling her designs.

Elisabeth Bell's World July/August Challenge

Hi again!  I'm back, as promised, with my DT card for this month's Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge!  The theme this time is "for the boys".  You can make anything you'd like with a masculine theme, but you must use an Elisabeth Bell stamp (any company).   This came at a perfect time for me because I actually needed a birthday card for a little boy.  This one has already gone out to little Danny Nickerson, who turned 6 today.  Danny is from my hometown in MA and is battling a rare form of brain cancer.  There's been a huge outreach in the community to get lots of cards to Danny for his birthday and the response has been truly overwhelming!  You can read about it here.

Anyway, here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are SU Real Red and the party-themed patterned paper is from the We R Memory Keepers Hip Hip Hooray collection.  The cute image is Party Present by Elisabeth Bell for Sweet Pea Stamps.  I stamped it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.   The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Some polka dot ribbon, a couple of epoxy balloon stickers and a few buttons finished my card.

Elisabeth Bell's World June/July Challenge

Good morning!  Happy Wednesday!  How has your week been so far?  Mine has been quiet.  I'm gradually adding back a little crafting, but still can't sit as long as I'd like.  I know I'll get there. I just have to be patient, which is not really my strong suit!  Anyway, I am here today with my DT post for this month's Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge.  The theme this time is "summer".  Perfect, right?  Elisabeth has so many wonderful stamps depicting a summer theme, so this should be easy peasy!

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Bermuda Bay and the fun beachy patterned papers are from the Echo Park Summer Bliss 6x6 pad.  The adorable image is Little Best Friends from the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection.  I printed it on MiC blending card and colored it with my Copics.  I added in the sand and the sky with my Copics, too.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few sparkly 3D shell stickers finished my card.

Elisabeth Bell's World January/February Challenge

It's me again!  I promise this is the last post from me today. It rarely happens that so many things come at once.  If you are looking for my Sketch Saturday or Super Saturday posts, please scroll down one or two posts.  Anyway, I am here with my card for the new Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge.  I get to play along again as part of the GDT this term.  The theme this month is "white on white with a pop of red".  You can use any Elisabeth Bell image to enter.

Here is my card:

Those who know me know that, although very simple, this was hard for me!  I am rarely without my beloved patterned papers!  Using so much white scares me - lol!  Anyway, you can see that I've layered up diecuts from the Spellbinders Majestic Labels Twenty-Five set.  I popped some of the layers up on foam tape for added dimension.  The sweet image is Little Mama from Elisabeth Bell's Digital Collection.   She is printed on Hammermill Color Copy Digital 100 lb. Coverstock (I'm trying a new coloring cardstock) and colored with my Copics.  I added red Stickles to her jewelry and Ice White Pearl Pen accents to the strand of pearls on the ground.   The only embellishment I added was the red satin bow.

Here is a close-up of the image:
