The Pink Elephant Challenge #156

Time for another Pink Elephant Challenge!! Be sure to visit the blog to find out how you can play along with us and to see the other DT’s creations!
This week our challenge is Christmas In July! Never to early to start on those holiday cards, right?

I chose Winter Wonder from Sylvia Zet for SCACD to get inky as this poor stamp hasn’t seen any ink--just such a shame as it’s sooo adorable!! I stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored it with my copics and ShinHan Art Touch Twin Markers. I paired the image with Basic Grey Jovial.

I added Sparkly Fluff to her hat, coat, boots and her little bear friend’s hat. Then some glitter for the snow and finally stickles on her bow and candle. I added a flower and some branch punch outs to finish the card.

Hope you’ll join us this week at The Pink Elephant Challenge!

Kissing Booth

A bit late with my last Basic Grey post but still wanted to get one more card in for my Basic Grey week! It was fun to base my cards off the paper this week!
Today I’m using Basic Grey Kissing Booth. So pretty with all it’s pinks!! Next came the fun part of what stamp to use with it! When I was looking for what stamp to use the super cute Loli’s Dance from Sylvia Zet for SCACD yelled out that she hadn’t been inked up and she’d love to be- so who was I to argue!
I inked her up with Memento Tuxedo Black and then colored her with copics and ShinHan Art Touch Twin markers. She just makes me feel like doing a fan dance--if I knew how! LOL!
To help finish off the card I used a Petaloo flower and a few punches from my cute Fiskars Scroll punch.  I added some sparkle with stickles and an edge of Viva Decor Glitter Liner because you can never have too much sparkle! ohh and I added a few Kaisercraft rhinestones too!

Hope you’re having a great weekend! We have no plans so I’m hoping to get lots of crafting in! Thanks for coming by and thanks for the sweet comments! This week I got sidetracked and didn’t leave many comments but next week I should be back on track!

Elania

I was in a mermaid sort of mood so thought I’d get Elania inky. She’s from the latest Sylvia Zet for SCACD release, The New Adventures of Loli and Poppy.

For my layout I used the Pretty Patterns Sketch #47~

edited to add--sorry I keep forgetting to list my copic colors!! I do know the hair on this one was E07, E08, E09 and E13. I will try to do better..sigh...
