~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The challenge over on Our Creative Corner was to use snowmen or snowflakes well i LOVE snowmen and these new "Whiffies" from the last release are just DEE-vine! Katherina issued a guest DT call - there is a new one every 2 months - along with this sketch->
so my card is working a double today!

so i gave it a whirl with this little cutie:

close up:
the image is colored with copics and accented with LOTS of spica pen BUT i could not get the glitter to show well today...maybe tomorrow i will try again! the *snow drifts* are two cuttlebug embossed layers (not my idea *waves to heather* you can see the original here) - one of them i inked the folder so the color is on the background and the other one i inked the raised portion.

both the light blue base and the dark blue layer are covered in snowflakes stamped with frost versadazzle. leaves a nice watermark with a bit of shimmer. finished off with ribbon, buttons and stickles!

so what do y'all think?????

TECC36 AND bellaholics challenge all in one!

FINALLY got some extended play time in this weekend. Hubby did a fanFREAKINGtastic job taking the baby of my hands ALOT this weekend - LOVE him! alas he is out of town for the week so i will be on my own *hair stands on end* - so i have a double duty challenge card today. i used this -->-->
sketch from Taylor's cupcake challenge.



and here is my card:

FINALLY inked up one of my new chichiboullies from stamping bella - this is patricia cupcake - isn't she ADORABLE?? the embossing is rubbed lightly with a brilliance pearlescent thyme dew drop - i find the dew drops are easier to do this with - not as much gets on the unembossed parts. the patterned paper is from the new DCWV sweet stack - oh wow is it YUMMY!! the buttons are from SEI - oh how i love SEI - and that is where the bellaholics challenge comes in - we had to use 5 buttons.

i colored the image with copics and then used spica glitter pens for her cake - it's not a cupcake but it's close right? also rubbed the embossing from the nestie with the same thyme ink. her wings are painted with perfect pearl perfect pearls powder and an aquapainter.

In case you missed it yesterday i am having a sale on big & juicy Rainbow ink pads - $8 instead of $12!! and free shipping still in effect!

i have a very exciting project for you tomorrow so be sure to come check it out!!!

Whiff Of Joy Challenge 1 - HOORAY i did it!

last week a brand spankin new challenge blog started up featuring Whiff Of Joy stamps - these are SOOOOO cute!! and Katharina will have some new releases next week. i am a little late with this one - the sketch was posted on Wednesday but at least i did it! i want to be able to say - i was there from the beginning!! so here is the sketch:

And here is my card: This one is called Melinda reading book and she is colored with copics. i did her wings, bracelet, belt on her shirt and design on her jeans using spica pens - man oh man do i love these. the pattern paper is the new DCWV glitter christmas stack and cut with my nesties and then everything is edged with silver brilliance ink. the primas are called fancies i believe (and i bought all the colors but am looking to get rid of half of each since that is really a lot of flowers so let me know if you want some.)


Here is a close up of Melinda:

All but a few studio G items have now been mailed so keep a look out if you have been waiting.....
