Ponderer

Time for my inspiration post for Ching-Chou Kuik's Facebook Group. This week the designers could create anything they want. I chose to color up Ponderer. Such an intriguing image!!

I made a 5x5 card. It was fun to choose some papers that were a little more pastel to make the bright colors on the image stand out.

I had a bit of a copic boo-boo at the bottom of the image so I found a sentiment in the Simon Says Stamp Greetings Mix 1 stamp set that I liked and then placed it over that mistake. 

I thought it still looked a little plain so I used some of the patterned paper with a retired Taylored Expressions Leafy Branch die. I finished it off with some pearls and my favorite Twinkle Stickles!


Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Non-affiliate supplies used~ copics, Carta Bella~So Noted 6x6 paper pad, SU Blushing Bride Cardstock, SU Pacific Point, Taylored Expressions Leafy Branch die, MFT Stitched Oval STAX,

I have to say that I really love how this turned out. It was totally different than what I had in my mind when I started but I love it!

Spring Banquet

This week the challenge for designers at the Ching-Chou Facebook group is “Anything Goes”.  I do enjoy a challenge to get the creativity juices flowing but it’s nice to have a week where you can do what you want as well!

I chose the incredibly detailed image, Spring Banquet for this week as I thought she would be so fun to color up. I colored her with my Copics and added some details with my Prismacolor Pencils.

I know I sound like a broken record each week, but I just love bringing these images to life. It’s almost magical for me! I always feel like these are super simple cards but I feel these images just need to shine on their own.


I am also using this card for the current challenge, mermaids or thinking of you at my Facebook Challenge Group, There’s a Stamp for That.

Sending Smiles Your Way-

Peony

It's time for another inspiration card for the Ching-Chou Kuik's Facebook group! This week the designers were given the challenge of Vintage or Distressed or Shabby Chic. I'm not going to lie, I made a horrible face and went EEK when I saw those challenges. They are just not my style but I decided to give it a go and went with the distressed option and distressed the edges of my image and papers. 

I used the gorgeous Peony digital stamp. I just love the way she looks like she has a story to tell.


Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you back here again real soon! Have a wonderful day!

Hope and Faith

I chose Hope and Faith as my image for this week. Another gorgeous image that I loved bringing to life!

Hello Magnolia

Time for another Ching-Chou Kuik card! I'm having the best time bringing these images to life! For today's card I used the beautiful Hello Magnolia digi

I used a lighter color for her dress which is always a challenge for me since I like bright, bold colors but I thought it turned out so pretty. Good to break out of the norm once in a while.


I even dug out some flowers and some flat back pearls for this card. It just needed something. I really like how it turned out.

Have a wonderful day and remember to smile!
