Spring Green

This week at the Crafty Gals Corner, we want you to Make it Green!  Spring green, olive green, lime green...whatever green tickles your fancy.

This is So Ready for Spring from The Paper Shelter.  Normally I color my image and then hunt for paper to match, but this time I did it the other way around.  I found this striped paper while digging through my scraps for another project.  It didn't work for my other project, but was the perfect fit for this one!  I colored her stripes to match and finished up her outfit with colors from the paper.  Maybe I should try this method more often!  This image also comes with a great background paper, but I loved the stripes so much, I just had to use them!

She was colored with Copic markers and cut out using my Silhouette Cameo.  A little silver Wink of Stella on her belt and purse buckles adds a bit of shimmer.

You have a chance to win a prize from our fabulous sponsor, The Paper Shelter, just for playing along.  You can click the badge below to visit the shop and have a little browse.  When you are done, you will have a wish list a mile long...Just sayin'!

Spring Colors

This week at the Crafty Gals Corner we have a spring color palette to inspire you.  We would like to see your take on the palette below.

Love those Design Seeds color boards!  Here is what I did with the color palette.

This cute little guy is Birfday Dragon by Rick St. Dennis colored with Copics.  I never seem to have enough birthday cards on hand, so I am trying to add to that stash when I can.  Expect to see a few more birthday cards in the near future!  I wanted the sentiment to look like it was on a piece of broken eggshell.  I knew I would never be able to get the random pattern that I wanted if I cut it so I snapped an old CD destined for recycling in half.  I picked out a few pieces that I liked and traced them on some vanilla cardstock.  Once I cut them out, I decided to attach them to the pieces of CD to create a little dimension.  

We have two fabulous sponsors this week.  The badges below have been linked to each shop for your shopping convenience. =)
