"Wings" Challenge

Happy Monday! Hopefully my crazy schedule is slowing down a little and I can post a little more regularly. I've missed playing along with some of my favorite challenges the past couple of weeks. The challenge on the In a Sweet Pea Dream this week is to feature something with wings. I used Meredith Dillman's "Broken Angel". I think she is just gorgeous, I love this image. Everything is colored with Copics and I added some sparkle to the wings with a Sakura glitter pen and used some liquid pearl paint to the image too. Thanks for dropping by today!

Ribbons and Bows Challenge

First off I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! If you are out and about tonight, I hope you party smart and safe. As for me, I usually spend the evening at home, eating junk food, watching movies and doing little else. It is the perfect night for me. Onto my card now. The challenge on the In a  Sweet Pea Dream site is to use Ribbons and Bows. I started with the Ching-Chou Kuik image The Silentness from Sweet Pea Stamps. I colored the image with Copics and painted the background with Twinkling H2O paints. The papers are from DCWV's Far East pack and the ribbon and flowers are from my craft room. 

 

The past couple of months I have been working on relocating my craft room. It is kind of set up in the new area--well the furniture is-- but I am still working on getting the shelves organized and stuff gone through. It is amazing all the things that I have found that I had forgotten that I even owned. Like the flowers on this project, no telling how long I have had them, but I fond a big bag of these flowers in assorted colors. As soon as I get it presentable, I will take some pictures. My friend's two daughters craft over here all the time and so they also have quite a stash of supplies too. I have been going through all their stuff too, getting rid of things that are no longer used, passing it along to other friends with smaller children.  Since they discovered my Copics, the Crayola markers have just sat on shelf untouched, the kids coloring pencils have been ignored for the Prismas, construction paper gets passed over for card stock and they now prefer Sculpty clay to play-doh. It was time to box these things up and pass them along to someone that can use them. Now they each have their own storage area for their things too. Back to work now!

Monochromatic Card

Good Morning! I am running late today. I am normally off on Fridays, but due to the traveling we have done visiting family, Thanksgiving and then volunteering at Ornament Day at my nieces' and nephew's school, I have not had a Friday morning at home in quite some time. I took advantage of that, didn't set the alarm and when I woke up sat down with a book and a cup of coffee this morning to read for a bit. It was great to have my relaxing morning back! My card today is for the Monochromatic Sweet Pea challenge on the In a Sweet Pea Dream challenge blog. I have only attempted the monochromatic thing a  couple of times, so this was a real challenge for me. This was definitely the first time I have attempted it on such a detailed image too. I chose to use the Ching Chou Kuik image  "Seeing Through" from Sweet Pea Stamps. I think I used almost all the E series Copic colors! My papers are from Basic Gray and I used some lace and brads that I had on hand.  Thanks for dropping by!

All about flowers

The challenge this week on In a Sweet Pea Dream is All about Flowers. My Sweet Pea stamps have been neglected a little over the past few weeks since all I have been doing is making Halloween projects. I had to remedy that so I got a few inky and colored and decided this would be the first one that would become a card. All of the Sweet Pea images are fun to color, but this is one of my favorites. Really, it's one of those things that whichever one I am working with becomes my new favorite! I do know I have used this one several times though. My image was colored with Copic markers and I used some flowers that I won a while back from Vicki's blog candy and I also added some stick on pearls from the Paper Studio and the pearls around the flowers are from the wedding department at Hobby Lobby. thanks for stopping by!
