Matching It Up - Tiddly Ink Challenge #13

I had so much fun with my last Tiddly Inks Challenge that I decided to do another one.  I have to warn you all, these digital images are SO addicting and they are enabling me by giving me a gift voucher for the last challenge!!!    This challenge was to match the paper with the image.  I had so much fun coloring her - it was like I couldn't stop crafting once she was finished because I had to finish the card to put her on...she couldn't be without a home.  I was up until midnight last night crafting.  Now, it's 6:30am - yes, the baby got up early...LOL go figure.  Anyhow, this is pretty straight foward - used my prizma colored pencils to color her and used baby oil to do some blending.  I paper pieced the bottom of her dress.  Then I used my die cut, cuttlebug combo for the red stamp.  Everything else was just layered.  OH, I did cut out some flowers to put on the ribbon from the paper and computer generated the happy birthday!  Last I added some glossy accents to her shoes, to make them patent leather!!!

Enjoy!

Tiddly Inks Challenge - Summer Fun with Water, Sand and Toys

Thought I would get a few cute digital images from Tiddly Inks.  Isn't she cute?  Tiddly Inks is also having a challenge - use a stamp that deals with summer fun.  My inspiration actually came from a ribbon I had.  Loved the blues in it and decided to match my paper and colored pencils to that flowered ribbon.  I only used one strip of it in the end which is hidden a bit but I think it's a good little pop of color.  I embossed my navy paper with Cuttlebug Swirls and then took a white marker and colored four of the waves.  I then took my exacto knife and cut along the waves so I could tuck my Tim Holtz Shabby paper corner behind the waves.  Once I colored my little stamp with my prizma colored pencils I used a Zig pen and added a bit of fine glitter to the sand.  I found the sentiment in a set of stickers I have but decided to computer generate the sentiment in a navy to match the papers.  Finally, I pieced it together and added a few pearls in mother of pearl and blue.  I hope you are having a sunny, sandy summer!

Enjoy!
