May Challenge - Favorite Technique
May Challenge
"Your Favorite Technique"
This month I chose the Cake Hat image from Julia Spiri. She is colored with a combination of Copics, Prima, and Hobby Lobby brand markers. The card is layered with die cuts, handmade flag, and Ofray ribbon. My favorite techniques are layering and using Stickles! For this image, Stickles has been added to the teapot, tea cups, and sections of the cake.

St. Patrick’s Day Challenge
For the March challenge, I used a digi from Bugaboo Stamps; "Theodore Shamrocks."
I colored the image with colored pencils and used odorless mineral spirits to smooth out the color. I stamped "Have a Lucky Day" on a banner and embossed it in green. For the background, I used a piece of dictionary paper I glimmered using my home-made glimmer glam. I also die cut a piece of green cardstock using a Tim Holtz die.

Open-Minded Crafting Fun Design Team
January Challenge
"Try Something New"
I am so excited to be a part of the Open-Minded Crafting Fun Design Team. This month's challenge encourages us to step out of our comfort zones and "Try Something New."
For this month, I used a Digital Stamp from SmearedInk. Unfortunately, SmearedInk is no longer in business as of the new year. I am quite sad about it as the images were very interesting to work with.
For this challenge, my something new was the use of colored pencils to color the image, adding feathers to a card, and using some ribbon tape I found at Tuesday Morning. Here is what I came up with for my card.
To join in on the fun, visit Open-Minded Crafting Fun. You can learn the rules, check out the entries, and read about the AMAZING prizes from our sponsors. I look forward to seeing your entries!
