Using: Christmas Angel

Colour of Love

So for my card, I used this amazing little angel, simply called Christmas Angel. She's adorable and so fun! I wanted her to look happy and have bright colors. I used my TriColor Markers for her, and once done, I cut out a background stencil and added her on top of the pink background. I added a couple of snowflakes and a sentiment. I didn't want to add too much, because I wanted her to have the full attention.

Over the years, we have seen a lot of beautiful cards who joined the challenges. They are never easy to choose from, because we consider everyone a winner! But it's always more fun to try for the giveaways! So I hope that you will join in our challenge for this month!

Blessings,

A note from Rachelle Anne Miller:

I am an artist & designer living in the beautiful Adelaide Hills in South Australia with my husband and three amazing children! I love to create and am especially drawn to all things cute. I've worked on children's books, greeting cards, craft supplies, children's room decor, tech accessories, and more. I love to bring out joy and imagination in my art and create something a little different to inspire and make you smile.

 Rory's Orchids

Colour of Love

Isn't she a real cutie?? I had a lot of fun with her....wait....I always say that! Lol! But I really do mean it! I just love digital images!

I used a set of markers that are new to me. They weren't expensive like some brands. These are called "ArtSkills Blendable Markers". They are really good!

So of course I started by printing the image, then colored it with the new markers. I mounted her on Creative Memories papers. Then I simply added a little decoration to it, and she was done! Simple, and yet I think she came out pretty good. 

I sure hope that you will join us for this awesome challenge! Anything Goes is a wide open crafty space full of ideas!

Thank you for stopping by,

LeAnn's World 101

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

Take a look at what I created:

My card is called Little Black-eyed Susan Flower Cup from Colour of Love. Now, before I go on, I know I didn't color the flowers' center in black, nor her eyes black, but I wanted to "do it my way", as Frank Sinatra said. (for those of you who know who he is, lol!)

I used a design paper background, and then printed my digital onto cardstock. It actually took me 3 times to get what I wanted. I just wasn't happy with the other two. When I finally got her the way I wanted, I placed her on the design paper. I really didn't do a lot, but the background paper really set it off!

I hope you will join us for this month's challenge! It's always so hard to pick just 3 images, when they all are so special! But, you never know...you might be one of the 3! Good luck!

Blessings, Jeanie Ellis, Scrapbookingmamaw

Polkadoodles

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

So for this month, I got the Valerie's Secret Garden from Colour of Love. She is so gorgeous! 

Valerie's Secret Garden

Colour of Love

I love this image! She is so pretty and such fun to color! Using my Tri-blend markers, I colored her and the rest of the image. I wanted it to look springy, but for some reason I had trouble with my yellow on the flowers, so I just went with it. The sky background was colored with Distress Ink, Broken China. 

I then added the yellow mat with the pink mat under it, and used white for my base. I did some glittering over the image. 

I hope that you will join us for our challenge! We can't wait to see what you do! 

Blessings,

Cute as a Button

Prize ~ 2 Digital Images

Morgan's Art World

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images used by the DT

For this challenge, I had the privilege of making 2 cards! The first one is called Flower Petals. Here she is:

She is from Colour of Love by Heather Valentin. I absolutely loved working this cutie! I used my Spectrum Noir color markers to color her in, but I wanted to give her a little extra oomph, so I added some stickles and diamond glass glitter. Then I added layers to mount her on.

My next card is Your Name is Like Honey from Cute as a Button. 

I thought this one was just adorable! Did you notice the little bee on her nose? Lol! I made a daisy and put it to the side of her, and used some dsp that had bees on it, to compliment the image. I wondered why I bought it before, but now I know! 

Well, there you go! I hope that these will inspire you to join in on our challenge! We love seeing your projects! Thank you so much for stopping by!

So I certainly have added hearts, don't you think? Lol. She's even holding a heart, the design paper is loaded with hearts, and then I have hearts standing up in the middle even! (Paper from Close to My Heart) I also used Stickles on her leggings and on the heart.

So do I need to tell you how much I LOVED coloring the image I used - Rory's April Showers May Flowers from COLOR OF LOVE? She is a beautiful image! Here she is:

I decided I'd go with my Spectrum Noir markers on her. For some reason I had a lot of trouble trying to capture her photo, but she really does look better in person. Maybe it's all that rain splashing into my camera lens! Haha! Anyway, I did several of layers to mount her onto paper from The Paper Temptress.

I hope that you will join us for this fortnight's challenge! And thank you so much for stopping by!
