Inspiration Destinatiom #40

 

This week's sponsors at Inspiration Destination are Pattie's Creations and the Stamping Boutique and as always the theme is Anything Goes.  I chose this cute image from Pattie's Creations, Wooden Shoes with Tulips.  I colored the i,age with Copics.  I had an absolutely terrible time photographing this image.  I guess the lighting must have been off.  Most of my images ended up blurry,  The ones that weren't appeared to be very bright.  The shoes are not actually the electric blue depicted.

A Baby Boy!

It feels so good to make a card again!  I had my surgery this past Tuesday and am starting to feel back to normal.  I start radiation in a couple weeks so we'll see how that goes.  I've heard it's not too bad. I made this card intending to use it for a challenge that has Stitchy Bear as a sponsor.  When I went to look up the link I found out Stitchy Bear no longer sells this image.  It figures!  I still love it, though.  There was not very much to color on this image so it was a good card to start back with.  The paper is from Doodle Pantry.

Rick St. Dennis Progressive Challenge May 2015

This is my EDT card for the Sparkle and Glitter May Progressive Challenge.  I used the image Q of H 2015..  I really love this image.  I colored it twice.  The first time I did it I loved how it turned out.  Then I tried to get a little fancy with some Liquid Pearls.  That was not a good idea.  I totally messed it up so there are none on this version.  Don't you just hate it when you're 95% done with something and mess it up!

I used my Silhouette to cut the flower.  I purchased just about all of their 3D flowers, but this is the first time I'm using one.  The paper is from Stampin' Up.  The silk ribbon is from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and the lace is from JoAnn's.  The image is colored with Copics.

Rick St. dennis Bayou Witch

This is me on a not-so-good morning, ha!  Actually I'm a morning person.  I'm dead to the world around 9:00 p.m..  This image is called Bayou Witch .  I bought her a while ago, but just got around to using it.  Trying to be a little creative on spring break.  After this...housework!  I colored her with Copics.  Finally, no accidents here.  My Copics behaved themselves.  The bats were cut with the Silhouette.  The sentiment is also from Silhouette.
 The digital paper is from Little Panda Digitals on Etsy.

Rick St dennis is having a DT call for his Facebook page.
This is one of my entries.  Wish me luck!

Interesting Day!

Today was a day I should have stayed in bed and slept instead of card-making.  I love this image, but I had a heck of a time.  The image from Rick St. dennis is titled Carnevale Masque.  Twice my Copics decided to do that bloop thing, so there is a lot more green than I intended.  None of the gems would stay on the mask, even after I glued them on.  I see in my photograph, I lost another and the cats kept stealing my feathers. I give up! In the middle of working on the card I had a blood sugar crash and was coloring with shaking hands. Yes, I should have stopped and eaten, but I was determined to rescue this image and finish it.   I definitely will color this image again.  Hopefully, without all the pitfalls.  I am fond of it, though.  I'm glad I stuck with it.  What a day!

RSD Happy Easter

I made this card for the RSD March Progressive Challenge at Sparkle and Glitter. This is the first time I've done a progressive challenge.   I used the Rick St Dennis image  Whack.a.doo Easter Bunny.  I love the name of that one.  I used Copic markers to color it.  The digital papers are from Samantha Walker.  I finally got to use a bow I tied about two years ago.  At the time I decided not to use it and threw it in my canning jar full of left over ribbon pieces.  It came in handy gor this one.
