Paper Cupcakes Color Challenge Time!!!!

This weeks challenge at Paper Cupcakes is a color challenge: green, pink, and yellow set by Gloria. For this challenge I used the Bunnies digi and created a magnet. I have tons of pictures but no magnets so I made a magnet using the circle and petite circle dies from Spellbinders. I colored the image w/ prisma colored pencils and gamsol. I kept the magnet simple because Max loves to play with them!

Paper CupCakes Vintage Challenge Time!!!!

This week at Paper CupCakes, the challenge set by Carol West is vintage tag or card using the Doodle Flower 4 image that Nina gave us. I colored the flower w/ prisma colored pencils and blended w/ gamsol. I love Graphic 45 papers for vintage so I found a double sided dp from Archiver's. I cut a strip of paper 3x4, used my SU ticket punch to punch the corners, used the SU punch cute and curly, and distressed it using my Tim Holtz distresser and using a dabber, added versamagic to distress the tag. I punched a hole thru the tag and tied it w/ a MayArts ribbon. I added thickers and a piece of American Crafts ribbon. The piece hanging at the bottom of the tag is the other side of the dp. I simply teared a strip and folded it using scor tape.

Birthday Card

I made this birthday card using Fairy Fhiona that I had won last year. She is really cute. I love how she isn't detailed and fun to color. I followed the sketch from The Beary Scrap Design & Challenge Blog challenge 21.

I kept this card plain and simply. I'm lovin' white right now so I decided to keep her on white and not use any dp. I cut her using the square spellbinder and colored her using gamsol (whoopie!!!) which I finally found at one of the craft store in Brooklyn Park thanks to my sil Hua :-) I must say, it's really fun coloring with gamsol. I think I like it more than copics. I added stickle to her wings to make her shiny.






Just so you crafters know, The Beary Scrap is having a HUGE HUGE birthday celebration and a HUGE HUGE prize giveaway, so hope on over and join the fun. There are three chances to win, so hurry over.


I'm entering her into the challenges at The Beary Scrap Design & Challenge Blog and Your Next Stamp Feeling Blue challenge.


Supplies:
Stamp: Your Next Stamp: Fairy Fhiona
Medium: prisma colored pencils, memento black, memento blue
Paper: GP 110lbs
Misc: ribbon, MS doilly lace border punch, square die, SU word punch, SU label punch, stickle
