Stuff I Used:

Image-Girl with hat & scarf digital by "art by miran"

Colored with Copics

Skin-E00, E11

Eyes-G03, G05

Hair-E53, E43, E57

Scarf / boots / mittens-B14, B18

DP-DCWV the Winter Wonder Stack

Vellum

Embossing folder-Darice Snowflake folder

Glitter pen-Sakura Gelly Roll clear glitter pen

Snowflakes-Darice foam glitter snowflakes

Gem (on boot)-Darice birthstone gems (clear)

I added the clear glitter pen to the snowflakes on the embossed velum panel (it doesn't show well in the pictures), the glitter foam snowflakes, the gem on the boot and glitter on the DP (Brrrrrr & LET IT SNOW).

When I started coloring the image I didn't like the way it was turning out (I colored the face and hair 3 times).  Even when I was adding the shading on the paper piecing, I wasn't happy.  After I cut out the coat and hat and added it to the image with the rest of the coloring, I was happily surprised with how it looked. I popped up the image on homemade blue foam squares.

Now it's your turn to get your "Glitter" on. Hope you join us for the challenge.

Happy Monday and Happy May! Can you believe that it's already May. (Unfortunately there's a Friday the 13th this month {the only one in 2016}). On to the newest challenge at Incy Wincy Designs. This time there is only one sponsor. And the challenge is "Clean and Simple"

Rick St. Dennis

Here is my card.

I Used the "Noah" image.  I colored it with PrismaMarkers.  The background is embossed with Cuttlebug's Art Deco embossing folder.

I like making CAS cards.  I don't usually add a lot of fuffi stuff (ribbons, flowers, buttons, etc) on my projects. 

Now it's your turn to create something.  Let's see what you make.

Spring Day

Spring is finally here. At least it will be after a short chill we had here in Pennsylvania.  Time for Sassy Studio Designs' last Sponsorship Challenge of April.  This time it's over at Incy Wincy Designs.  The theme is "Spring/Green".  After this month's Release/Hop at Sassy Studio Designs, I knew I had to use the new "Day at the Park" image.
