Read a Book...Knowledge is Power

The stamps used on this card are from the I {heart} Books set from My Favorite Things stamps. The paper is K and Company, Core'dinations, and DCWV. The image is colored with Copic markers, Creative Inspirations paint, and chalk. MS punch used for the lacey edge, and Nestabilities used for rectangle and scallop rectangle.

The challenges I followed:
Raise the Bar #8: Theme - National Woman's History Month (woman reading)
Our Creative Corner: Sketch
The Play Date Cafe #19 - Deep Yellow, Pale Yellow, and White
Stampin' for the Weekend: Theme - Monochromatic (used yellows)

Cute Little Gratty 'tude

Little miss Gratty 'tude is from Stamping Bella, and was a surprise from my sweet friend Danni. I've used some Piggy Tales and Core'dinations paper, EK punched leaves, and a Fiskar's flower punch. The center of the flower is Studio G glitter glue, and the image is colored with Copic markers and aged with a bit of chalk.

There are a few challenges this fits in with:
Tuesday Morning Sketches # 35
Everybody Art Challenge #80
Color Throwdown #82
Sweet Sketch Wednesday #39

Simply Teal

I love these Pure Innocence cuties by Heather Ellis. The papers I used for this card are from Bo Bunny and Core'dinations.

This card was made for two challenges:
Saturday Spotlight #20: Theme - Clean it Up (kept the card very simple)
Crafty Creations #57: All Shades of One Color (used teal/aqua)

A Touch of Christmas #9

Good Morning! (or Evening, depending where you are!) This is week #9 of ATOC, and I've chosen to make a few gift tags. For the time being I'll be doing these little weekly Christmas projects alone, but Danni is such a sweetie and always welcome back. So maybe we'll see her in ATOC again sometime in the future.

This is Edwin on Sled, a Magnolia stamp. I used my Nestabilities Labels One to cut out the little cards, and around the images. They're colored with Copic Sketch, outlined with Creative Inspirations paint, and have touches of Smooch Illuminate. The faux fur around on his hat is Flower Soft, and inside the small gift cards I've used a 'Merry Christmas' sentiment from C. C. Designs.

These little gift cards will work with 2 of the Challenge blogs that I follow:
Fab 'n' Funky #13: Theme: It's All in the Shape - Make a shaped card (Nestabilities Label)
Creative Card Crew: Theme: Celebrations (mine is Christmas!)

Flutter By Wednesday #99

Good Morning, and welcome back for Flutter By Wednesday! Today's challenge is #99 and Danni has shared an inspiration picture.

With the fun picture of Tink for inspiration, I pulled out my Tinker Bell stamps from EK Success. I paper pieced her dress and shoes with some Core'dinations paper, added some flower soft to the puffs on her shoes, and colored her in using Copic Sketch markers and Creative Inspirations paints. The decorative papers used are from S.E.I. and the solids are from Core'dinations. A few accents were added...a flower from Prima, punched leaves using EK and McGill punches, Blue Moon beads, a swirl using a Sizzix die, and other cuts made using Nestabilities by Spellbinders. I used the Bow Easy on the ribbon to finish things up.
