Painting the Roses Red...

Good morning! I have my card for you today for the Alice in Wonderland Challenge blog. The theme this week was a color challenge...Red, Blue, and Purple! Ok, that was just screaming for me to print out this fabulously creepy image from The Greeting Farm called "Twisted Tea", one of the three new "Creepy Cakes" digi images they released this month.

Twisted Tea was colored with no other than my Copic markers, then I used the sketch from Club Anya & Friends Blog (which I know I can't submit for the challenge, but hey it worked!) for my layout. I added lots of sparkle to her hair and other accessories with my Spica glitter pens. I had to rummage through my old paper stash to find pp's that would work and I came up with this black and white print from Amanda Blu and the red print from an old SU! print pack.

The circle Nestabilites is layered onto a Blossom Nestabilies, then I added a bit of bling around the edges. I layered some Primas then attached them together with these fun Mini Jewel Brads from American Crafts. The black cardstock still looked a bit plain so I ran that layer through my Cuttlebug with the Spiderweb folder. How perfect is that?

The doodling around the circle is by hand to match the kinks in her hair. The sentiment I printed out from a digi file called "Alice in Sassyland Sentiments" that I downloaded from Sassy Studio Designs.

Alrighty, I am finishing up my Latte and then headed home to finish working on class samples for work! Have a great day! Thanks for hanging out with me :)

SC266: Gothic Roxy

Here's the card I made for this weeks sketch challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers. I used a digi image from The Greeting Farm that I bought and colored a few weeks ago but never got around to finishing.

Gothic Roxy is colored to match the fun paper that I bought by Sassafras Lass which has been calling my name. I also used my new Animal Print Sizzix folder on the green panel, but its hard to see in the photo.

(ETA) Oh! And I forgot, I am also entering this card for Cute Card Thursday's "Spots & Dots" challenge.

All Dressed Up...

Happy Hump day! Told you I'd be back with a new card today! I have been working on some design stuff that I can't show you for quite a while, but I also thought I would take on a really big challenge...The Greeting Farm has a 12 days of Christmas sketch challenge over at the TGF Blog.

So, I may be nuts but I think I am going to try to do them all! I LOVE Anya and all her friends but never get to do any stamping with them it seems. So, without further ado, here is the first card, for sketch #2.

I used the Wild Sprouts Dressy Joyce digi-image from The Greeting Farm. I was in a bit of a pink mood (ya think?!!) so I wen with a Valentine's theme. (Sentiment is from Stamps by Melanie Muenchinger) She is colored to match the papers from Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses line.

The larger heart is a Nestabilities die, the smaller heart is an old die from Spellbinders...I think it was called Heart Shapeabilities. while still in the die I spritzed it with Peppermint Stick Glimmer Mist. (The flower was done with the same spray)

The rest of the supplies are listed below. Wish me luck with finishing all 12 of these babies! I am signing off for now, more stamping to do plus we are having company tomorrow! Thanks for the visit!
