Copic/Promarker Challenge - The Outlawz (and more)

Good morning!  I can say, without hesitation, that I am really glad it's Friday!  It's been such a busy week and with both DH and I fighting the cold bug, it hasn't been fun around here!  That said, at least I am feeling better and by the end of the day, all of my holiday mailing will be done - I guarantee it!  That is going to make me one happy camper!  Anyway, as promised, I am here to share my DT card for this week's Copic/Promarker Challenge on The Outlawz site.  This week's challenge is "celebration", however you want to interpret it.  I am entering my card into a couple of other challenges I like to do because they worked perfectly with this theme - the Corrosive Challenge #139 (anything but Christmas), CASE Study # 70 (CASE the fabulous December Muse, Amy Sheffer) and my fave challenge each week, Mo's DP2 Challenge #111 (add fabric).  It's a lot, I know, but I didn't want to miss out on the fun challenges this week.

Here is Amy's beautiful inspiration card:


Here is my card for all the challenges:


I was inspired by the colors, general layout and placement of the embellishments on Amy's card.  I started with a card base of GKD Smoky Slate and layered with patterned paper from the Authentique Journey 6x6 pad.  My celebration image is called Kisses For My Sweet from Mo's Digital Pencil.  You can find it in Mo's store here.  I thought it would be perfect for a Happy New Year or Happy Anniversary card.  I printed it on Cryogen White and colored with Copic markers. I added some Glossy Accents to his shoes to look like patent leather and some Silver Stickles to her tie and shoes for some sparkle.   For the fabric element, I created a fabric flower by twisting and glueing a strip of frayed textured fabric from my stash.  I spritzed it with Pearl Glimmer Mist and added a rhinestone to the flower center.  I cut out and matted the image with Spellbinders Petite Ovals and added adhesive rhinestones to the scalloped mat.  A couple of rhinestone flourishes finished my creation.

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Copic/Promarker Challenge and check out the fabulous projects created by my fabulous teammies and our wonderful December GD, Shelby!  We hope that you will play along with us!  There are some amazing prizes up for grabs this month! 

Have a great day!
