Wish

This week at Creative Knockouts, we have an Anything Goes challenge for you.

I used Make a Wish from Hetty Clare Art.  I colored her using Copic Markers and cut her out using the 

Silhouette Cameo.  The background paper is a freebie from Granny Enchanted.  I created the dandelion fluff by using a foliage die from a Spellbinders monthly kit and some white eyelash fiber.

You're the Best

I have a special project for Crafty Sentiments this week.  I got to use one of the new release images and create an extra card.  You can see it on the new challenge post at the blog.

This is Tobey - Flowers.  He will be available in the shop soon.  I colored him with Copic markers.  The sentiment is a Stampin' Up! stamp.  The background paper is a digital freebie I got ages ago from Granny Enchanted.

You should pop over an look at what my teamies have come up with.  The new challenge is Winter.  You can play along while you are there.

Dude!

Hello everyone!  It is time for the Crafty Gals Corner challenge again and this week it is Dude!  Create a masculine card!  I struggle with these, but I really like how this one came out.

This is Kenny K's Cheers Dude.  I paper pieced his shirt and colored him with Copic markers.  The plaid is a free digital paper from Granny Enchanted which made it really easy to scale for the size of the stamp.  I kept it simple with no flowers or buttons, but I did add a little brown ribbon.  I resisted the urge to add a little Wink of Stella clear glitter to the foam.  It was hard...but I managed! =P

Kenny K is our sponsor this week and you have the chance to win 3 digital stamps.  So click the badge below to be transported to his shop and check out all of the wonderful stamps he has to offer.

I look forward to seeing all of your masculine cards.

New Beginnings V2.0

I wanted to get a card in for Mo's current challenge and how funny that the theme is new beginnings as well!  I found Maurie Manning's images a long time ago and Sumpin's Wrong was one of the first ones I bought.  I finally feel like I can do it justice. =)

I have had this card idea rolling around for a while, but it still took me forever to put it all together!  The little bits always seem to trip me up.  The stamp is colored with Copic's and I paper pieced the shirt.  I had this idea in my head that I wanted his shirt to be tan plaid.  Couldn't exactly tell you why though.  With all of the paper I own, can you believe I did not have the right color?!  I went in search online and found this gorgeous tan plaid digital paper on Granny Enchanted.  There are a lot of wonderful kits and freebies!  If you love paper, this is definitely the place for you!  The great thing about the digital paper is I could reduce the size of the plaid to fit the scale of the shirt and then use a larger version for the background paper!

Now I just have to wait for someone to have a little boy so I can give them this card. =)
