Irish Dancer

I got to play along again at "Imagine That!".  It's a progressive challenge.  Meaning, if you play along, follow the rules and submit your project before the deadline.  You are e-mailed the next image(s) for free.  This was the 2nd challenge at "Imagine That!" digis by Kris.  Check it out here.  This time it was an Irish Dancer theme.  I chose the "Kathleen" and "sentiment" for my card. I didn't go the traditional St Patrick's colors.

Stuff I Used:

Image-Kathleen Irish Dancer by Imagine That! digis by Kris

Colored with Copics

Skin-E00, E11

Hair-YR02, R24, E08

Dress-YG03, YG06, YG63, B21, B24

Sentiment-Imagine That! digis by Kris

DP-Core Couture Blue Diamonds, We R Memory Keepers White Out Collection Explore-Roam

Swirls-Le Pen Brown

I drew some brown (it looks black in the photo) swirls behind the image to mimic the swirls on the DP. The light blue panel behind the image is very sparkly, but doesn't show up much in the photo.

I enjoy the challenges at "Imagine That!". And the images are great to color.  Check it out and join in.

I think I heard Kathleen say that if you commented, she would come to your house and dance for you.

Birthday Kitty

Time to play along at Sassy Studio Designs "DTBST # 167". See it here. This week's challenge was to "Think Green and Recycle" something.  So when I saw the SSD "Pin up Cat", I knew I had to buy it and make this card.  I used the labels off of 3 cat food cans and created a background panel.  First a pic of the recipient of the cat food.  "Neka" my cat.

Type style-Frank Llyod Wright's "Terra Cotta"

I cut 1" off the right side of the card front to allow the inside edge and sentiment to show.  I popped up the image on homemade green foam squares.  And attached the buttons with homemade glue dots.

I used star DP as well as the 3 stars. Who says you have to use shamrocks on St Pat's cards?  I know I made the beer too light for a Guinness and the wrong type of glass.  (Even though I don't drink)  But, it's called "artistic licence" right?

Thanx for looking.  Comment and "Sea Bass" said he'd buy your next round! 

Baby Love

Cupcake Bear

What's the best kind of bear?  Of course a bear with a birthday cupcake.  This past week's digi at the Hambo Hoedown is "Bear Cupcake". And the challenge was to use "a large and a small element."  You can play along too, check out their challenge at:  http://hambochallenges.blogspot.com/. 

My large element is the striped circle and the small element is the sentiment.
