Aurora 'Sharing Autumn'

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.   I'm stopping by to share my DT project for the new Anything Goes challenge on the Craft Your Passion Challenge Blog.  Our sponsor for this week is one of my favorites ~ The East Wind.  They have such beautiful and cool images!  They will be giving the winner 3 images of their choice from their store.   I am using this gorgeous image Aurora 'Sharing Autumn' for my card. 

The Copics I used are:  skin - E000, E00, E11, E21, E93 & R20;hair - E08, E19, YR14 & YR18; clothes - B32, B34, B37, E40, E43, Y13, Y15 & Y17; bench - E31, E35, E29, W3, T1 & T2; leaves - YG93, YG97, G12, R24, Y38, YR68, E15, E18 & E23.   The image is printed on x-press paper.

For the card I used Bazzill cardstock, paper from Bella Blvd, ribbon, cheesecloth, button and Studio Light die.  If you head on over to the Craft Your Passion Challenge Blog you can check out the gorgeous projects made by my fellow DT members.  Also, while you're there, won't you join our Anything Goes challenge?  Hope to see you there!  Thanks for stopping by, and have a great week.

Witchery

Happy Monday! Are you ready for a new week? It is also time for a new challenge on the Craft Your Passion Challenge Blog.  As always, our challenge is 'Anything Goes' - doesn't get any easier than that, right? Our sponsor for this week is The East Wind.  I am such a huge fan of theirs.  They have so many gorgeous and bad-a$$ images to work with, and I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with one!  The image is called Witchery, and here is my card using her:

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E11, E21, E93 & R11; hair - E40, E42, E43, E47 & E49; dress - W00, W1, W2 & W3; flower - BG000, BG01, BG05 & BG09; hat - YG93, YG97, G21, RV23, RV25 & RV29.  The image is printed on x-press paper.

I really love coloring digis that are close-ups of faces.  And her hair - so much fun to color!

For the card I used Bazzill cardstock and paper from Sherri Baldy.  The image is so striking I decided to keep my card pretty CAS (clean and simple).  I was afraid embellishments would compete too much or be too distracting.  What do you think?

Why not check out our new challenge on the Craft Your Passion Challenge Blog and play along?  The other DT members have amazing projects to help inspire you as well.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Hope you have a fantastic week!

Scrapping 4 Fun - Guest Designer

I'm very excited to share that I was asked to be a Guest Designer over at Scrapping 4 Fun Challenges!  I'm very honored to be part of their 'Technique' challenge.  For my project, I'm using the image Lucy Loo 'Scent of Spring' by The East Wind.  The technique I've chosen to use on my card is Rolled Paper flowers.  I hope you like it!

I had so much fun coloring her!  That hair!!  The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E21 & R20; hair - YR14, YR18, E08 & E19; flowers - R10, R32, R35, BG32, BG34 & BG49; leaves - YG17, YG25 & YG03.

I made the card using Bazzill cardstock, Paper by My Mind's Eye (Alphabet Soup), and dies by Spellbinders & Joy! Crafts.  The flowers are rolled paper flowers.  I made them by punching paper using a variety of circle punches.  Then I cut a spiral toward the center of each.  Starting with the outside, I rolled each flower in a tight coil to the center.  I then loosened the coil a bit, and secured it with a dab of glue at the bottom.  Both fun and easy! Thanks for looking!

A Spring in Her Step

Just popping on today to share a card I made this for the new challenge on the East Wind Challenge blog.  The challenge is 'A Spring in Her Step', using spring colors, flowers, etc...and what better image than a lovely girl holding a bouquet of flowers! You can find this image 'Aurora' 'Love Mom' in The East Wind etsy shop.

For the card I used a quarter of a piece of Best Creations die-cut paper(pink), green polka dot paper, and flowers from Wild Orchid.  I placed a few pink flowers over the flowers on the paper for a little extra 'pop'.  Thanks for looking!  Hope you have an awesome day.  I'm off to work on a few DT projects:)

The East Wind - I'm Ready for My Close Up

Ok, so I know I've done quite a few images by The East Wind lately, but what can I say?   I'm kind of obsessed with them!  They have a fun challenge on their Facebook Group page right now called 'I'm Ready for My Close-Up'.  The challenge is to either crop an image, or use a head-only image.  I've never cropped a digi before, so I chose to do that, and it was so cool!  I used Lucy Loo 'Punk Will Never Die'.  Here's my image:

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E04, E11 and R20; hair - YR14, YR18, E08, E19, V93, V95, V99, G21, G29 anf G46.

For the card I used Bazzill cardstock, and paper from Basic Grey's 'What's Up' line, dies from Spellbinders and LaLa Land, and flowers I had on hand.  I think I might have to try this with another one of their images!  Have an awesome weekend everyone:)

Tip of the Hat

Yay!  I had a chance to play around with another East Image.  This time I colored up Lucy Loo 'Lucy Style I Love You'.  She is one of the images I bought with the discount I won for being a DT pick on their last challenge! It is perfect that she's one that I had to have (lol), because the new challenge on The East Wind Challenge Blog is 'Tip of the Hat'...using a hat somewhere on your project.  Here's what I did with her:

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E04, E21 and R20; hair - B000, B00, B12 and B16; shirt - YR31, YR15, Y17 and Y32; hat - C1, C3, C5, C7, YG03 and YG25.

FOr the card, I used Bazzill cardstock, and papers from Bo Bunny's 'A Gift of Love' line, flowers from Wild Orchid and Michael's, and Tim Holz star diecut.  I don't know what it is about these images, but I always tend to do something colorful with their hair.  Anyway...I hope you like her!  Thanks for looking:)

Tainted Love

I just love the images from The East Wind.  Her girls are badass.  She has a challenge up on her blog right now called 'Tainted Love'.  For the challenge I decided to use this beauty - Lucy Loo - which you can find in her shop here.  Cool image, right?  Here's my interpretation of Tainted Love:

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E04, E21 and R20; hair - BV20, BV25, BV29, R56, R59 and R81; dress - E50, E53 and E57; table - R56, R59 and R81.  I used various Atyou Spica glitter markers for the jewelry, and glossy accents for the champagne glass.

For the card I used black Bazzill cardstock, a variety of paper from Trinity Paper Art's 'Sincerely' line, die cuts by Memory Box and LaLa Land Crafts, and flowers from my flower drawer.  Thanks for taking a look!
