Little Miss Muffet Challenge - Photo Inspiration

Hello!  Happy Thursday!  Sorry I haven't been around much.  Still a lot going on for me.  My thoughts are with everyone impacted by the enormous storm that hit the Northeast.  Since I come from the area, I still have many friends and family in the vicinity .  I pray that everyone is OK and the effects of the storm are not too long-lasting for any of you.  Being that it is Thursday, of course I am here with my DT post for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  We have a new challenge starting today!  It is a photo inspiration this time, with a theme of "fireworks".

Here is one of the photos shared on the blog for inspiration:


Here is my card:


My card base and mats are SU Taken With Teal.  I used a combination of sparkly patterned papers from my stash.  Some are from Recollections and some from the DCWV Spring Glitter Matstack.   My adorable image is Celeste Amberglow Fairy Special from the recent new release from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.   I added some Stickles here and there for some extra sparkle.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  I cut the banner from glitter paper using the new Party Banner Diecut from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I added the little stars leftover from the banner diecut to the image corners and a little heart from the diecut to her top.  I punched a few more stars from green glitter paper and popped them up.  A sparkly teal rhinestone flourish finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Copic/Promarker Challenge - The Outlawz

Hi, there!  Happy Friday!  Hope you had a good week and you have fun plans for the weekend!  I had to run out for an early appointment so I'm off to a bit of a late start, but I'm popping in now to share my DT card for this week's Copic/Promarker Challenge at The Outlawz.  The theme this week is everyone's favorite "anything goes", as long as you have some coloring with alcohol markers (any brand).  If you've been collecting our calendar pages all year, the template for the November page and the instructions for printing are in the challenge thread.

Here is my card:


My card base and mats are SU Bermuda Bay and the fall-themed patterned papers are from the Bo Bunny Forever Fall 6x6 pad.  The cute digi image is Crystal from Make it Crafty.  You can find her in the MiC store here.  Crystal comes along when you purchase Zoe's awesome Shading with a Light Source E-Book also in the store.  I printed her on Neenah Solar White (waiting on a new shipment of Make it Colour Blending card) and colored her with my Copics.  Can't wait until my MiC paper arrives, because I had a bit of trouble with my shading on this leftover paper.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  A few fall leaves and three Wild Orchid Crafts roses finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:


Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Copic/Promarker challenge and check out the awesome cards and calendar pages from the rest of the DT.  We hope you will play along with us this week!  Our October challenges are being generously sponsored by Make it Crafty.  One lucky, randomly-selected participant in our challenges will win Zoe's amazing Colouring Techniques With Markers E-Book.  It's your last chance to be in the running for this awesome prize!


There are also lots of monthly site-wide prizes when you enter any of the challenges at The Outlawz!

Elisabeth Bell's World October/November Challenge

Hi again!  I'm back just quickly to share some exciting news and a card!  I won the last challenge at Elisabeth Bell's World and I was invited to be a Guest Designer for the new challenge starting today!  I love Elisabeth's images and I was thrilled to have won two digital stamps from the Elisabeth Bell Designs Digital Collection as well as two Belles 'n Whistles stamps from Crafts and Me!    The theme for the October/November Challenge is "glitter, shimmer and shine".  I am so honored to have my card posted along with the amazingly-talented DT!

Here is my card:


My 5x7 card base and mats are GKD Lipstick Red.  The shimmery and shiny patterned papers are from the Kaisercraft Turtle Dove 6.5x6.5 pad.  It was so hard to capture the shiny paper in my photo!  My precious Elisabeth Bell image is Belles 'n Whistles Star of Bethlehem.  You can find it in the Crafts and Me store here.  I stamped it on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added Red, Diamond and Gold Stickles to make my image sparkle.  Two stars punched from red glitter paper and a shiny gold corner sticker finished my festive holiday card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Haunting

Hi there!  Happy Wednesday!  We're halfway to the weekend - how good is that?  This week is just as crazy as last so far, but I did manage to put together a card for a few challenges.  It is absolutely my last Halloween card for this year!  It is for Kenny K. Krafty Krew #116 (frightful) and Sketch N Stash #99 (sketch).

Here is the sketch:

Here is my card:


My card base and mats are Papertrey True Black and the patterned papers are from last year's stash (K & Co. Kelly Panacci Halloween).  The fun Halloween image is Trixxie Treat from Kenny K.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added Stickles to her hat ornaments, ribbon tie, garter and the candy in the pumpkin.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It is from the Beware Halloween set which you can find in Paulette's store here.  A couple of glittery spider web corners, also from last year's stash, and a few 3D glitter dots from this year finished my card.

Here is a close-up of Trixxie:
