Snow Goddess

Hello everyone, I have a creation that I just finished today and this one is for Michelle Perkette's Challenge and The Allsorts Challenge. We had so much fun with Michelle's blog hop and at the end we were given a sketch to follow. The theme for Allsorts is to use the color purple somewhere on our project. Here is my creation for this challenge. I decided to create an easel card since I had so much fun with my last one. The papers are from my stash and the image is from Michelle called Snow Goddess. I love this image and I used Adobe Fireworks CS4 and my copic markers to color her. My background card stock is a metallic lavender color and I used sand paper to distress the edges. I also used pink glitter card stock for my panels. I added some stickles to my image and several Prima flowers at the bottom of the front section of my card. I also added some tiny white pearls in the center of each flower. On the inside of my easel card I used one of Michelle's sentiments along with some pearls and purple cabochon gems.

Christmas Stocking

Wow what a busy day this has been! I managed to finish a card last night and I am finally posting it. This one is for a few challenges.

1. Sketch Saturday Challenge --- Follow sketch

2. Crafty Catz Challenge --- Colors red, green and silver

3. Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge --- Theme is polka dots, a border, stripe and stamped image

4. La La Land Challenge --- Theme is buttons, button and buttons

I used a red card stock for my base card and added red polka dot paper and distressed the edges a bit. My image is from Phee McFaddell and I colored it using Adobe Fireworks CS4. There are tiny buttons already on the image and I added a little stickles for some sparkle. I added a piece of red fringe border with another piece of red ribbon with some silver threads running through it. I also added three Prima polka dot flowers and three silver glitter buttons with raffia. My sentiment is a sticker and I placed it on a scalloped oval that I cut out using one of my Nesties. To complete my creation I added a couple of holly stickers.

The image is from Michelle called Wishing Star Angel. Along with our creation Michelle asked us to make a wish for someone other than ourselves. My wish is posted here along with my creation. I decided to make a wish box using the Wishing Star Angel on the front of the box. I colored her using Adobe Fireworks CS4 and my copic markers. I found the perfect box at the dollar store and added a piece of pale blue organza ribbon as the handle. A little glitter for sparkle and my creation was complete. I placed my wish inside the box in a tiny lavender envelope. I hope this wish comes true!

Now it is time for you to hop over to the next blog to see Mary's creation.

Christmas Easel Card

Hello again. I have another creation to add to my gallery and this one is for the following challenges.

1. Friday Sketchers ... Sketch provided

2. Mo's Digital Pencil ... Colors red, green and gold.

3. Stampin for the Weekend ... Colors red, green and gold.

I decided to try to make an easel card since I see them on many blogspots. This is my first try at making one and I think I am hooked. I chose an image by Mo Manning called Noel bearing gifts. I decided to use Adobe Fireworks CS4 again and I really love the way the colors came out. I used papers from different stashes. On the front of my card I used my Fiskars round lace punch and my Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder. I distressed the edges of my papers and the embossed papers. A few snowflakes, a silk flower and jewel brad, glitter glue and a sentiment completed the front. On the inside I used contrasting papers and cut out 2 scalloped ovals with my Nestabilities die. I used MS Word to print out my inside sentiment. Two gold square gems completed the inside.

Rosie

Well, I finished another creation and this one is for the following challenges.

1. Color Dare Challenge... provided the color scheme

2. Crafty Creations Challenge... lace and distressing

3. Cute Card Thursday...theme is swirly girly

I chose an image from Michelle Perkette's Studio called Rosie. I colored my image using Adobe Fireworks CS4. I love the affects I get using this software. The sentiment is part of the digital image. I added a few very tiny pearls on her shoes, waist and hair and some glitter glue to her wings and dress. I distressed my paper and added some contrasting glitter to the edges. I used a piece of cotton lace and two silk flowers with a butterfly brad in the center. A few contrasting gems and my creation was complete. What do you think?
