CIP - Leprechaun Duo

Hi CIP fans and followers!  I just had to stamp this sweet Leprechaun for St. Patrick's Day, and to follow along with the current Go Green challenge!  I had fun with Creative Inspirations Paint, and added a bit of paper piecing.  I've used quite a few shimmery paints from the Creative Inspirations Paint store, along with the Deliquesce Metallic Copper embossing powder for the sentiment.  The paint colors used are: Copper (all along the scalloped edge), Carmel and Raw Sienna (stockings), Emerald and Evergreen (Shamrocks and jacket accents), Green Olive (hat sash), Gold (coins and buckles), and Sunshine (star shape in coins).   

Here is a closer look at the CIP products that I've used:

For my card this week I've used Fairy Lala from La-La Land Crafts. She's colored with Copic,s and I couldn't resist adding some Smooch, Illuminate, to her wings.

Easter Bunny Rosie

Hello blogging friends! Hope you're all having a great weekend. Mine was busy and constructive, a great combination. While I did get more organizing done in my crafting room though, I only managed to actually complete one card. I'll have more to share over the next few days, as I did manage to color a few images along the way.

I've used another digi cutie from La-La Land Crafts. This is 'Easter Bunny Rosie'. I've used some of the new Prima paper, a twill ribbon that came wrapped around a package, and a pin that I've added spacers and pearls to. The coloring is done with Copics and a touch of Garnet from Creative Inspirations paint. I've also roughed up all of the edges for that slight 'shabby' look.

Sweet little Rosie fits quite a few challenges that I follow, mostly because of Spring and Easter, so that was fun!:

Lala with her Bunny

This past week I saw these adorable digi stamps at La-La Land Crafts and just had to get them. This one is Lala with Bunny, and she is just so sweet! More than anything I think it's those lovely eyes that you can so easily color in. So as life goes it was a busy weekend and a running around start to the week today, so I am just now getting her posted!

La La Land Crafts Wednesday Challenge# 29: Pastel Theme
Crafty Creations Challenges #58: Make flowers

I've used some Making Memories paper from the Flower Patch collection, as well as solid Core'dinations (thank goodness they have SO many colors to choose from!). I've added some lace, a die cut flower pieced together and secured with a brad, and some punched leaves from a McGill Punch.
