Animal Antics

It's time for some Animal Antics with Corrosive Challenges.  All you have to do for the challenge is to use an animal in your project.  For this challenge we are sponsored by QKR Stampede.  They gave me this adorable little koala bear for the challenge.

I colored him with Copics.  It came out a little darker than I expected but I have an excuse.  My cable has been out for a few days.  They came by to fix it today and I got so excited that I decided to make up for lost time.  Unfortunately, I was paying more attention to the TV than to my coloring.  It is such a cute image though so it would be hard to really ruin it.

Please head over to Corrosive Challenges and see what the rest of the design team has created for your inspiration.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

Simply Fairy

Hi everyone.  I feel like I haven't posted in forever!  This beautiful fairy was a freebie on the Simply Betty Facebook page.  All you had to do to get it was be a member of the group, request it & enter it in the SBS challenge.  Easy right?  Not if you are the princess of procrastination like me.  I am cutting it right down to the wire on this one.  I have had a crazy few weeks but I was able to get it done. 

I colored her with Copics, fussy cut and popped her up with SU dimensionals.  There is some glossy accent here and there along with some glitter glue.  The papers are from Authentique.  The challenge was to use orange, yellow, white and black.  

Please forgive the short post.  I am one sleepy girl.  Thanks for stopping by.

FRAME IT WITH DILLY BEANS

Welcome to another Corrosive Challenges challenge.  This challenge is sponsored by Dilly Beans.  Our challenge is called I've Been Framed.  We were asked to incorporate a frame in our project.  Dilly Beans has some amazing images that already have frames around them.  This one was a lot of fun to color.  I used Copics, of course.  I cut it out and popped it up with SU dimensionals.  I went super simple with the rest of the card.  I used a Darice embossing folder for the background and all the paper used here is from my box-o'-scraps.  I just love it when I can use up my scraps.  

I finished this card yesterday after I got home from Amish Country.  It was my birthday and my husband and his parents took me to celebrate.  We had a great time.  I got some great cast iron loaf pans from my mother-in-law and a 14 inch cast iron pizza pan from my husband.  My beautiful birds got me a lovely card and two boxes of candy.  I am diabetic and overweight yet my husband always has them give me candy.  Oh Bill!

My Sentiments Exactly

Happy Mother's Day everyone.  Today begins a new Corrosive Challenges challenge...My Sentiments Exactly.  We ask that you add a sentiment to the front of your project.  We are sponsored by the oh so funny and talented Graphicat Designs.  Head over there, the sentiments are fabulous.

For my card I used this awesome image from Rubbernecker Stamps.  I have had it for ages but haven't used it.  I thought the new sentiment from Graphicat went great with it.  My hands were shaking when I took the picture so if you are having trouble reading it it says "When We Are Together, We Are Way COOLER Than Everyone Else!"  Perfect for the image huh?  I used Copics to color the image and I popped it up with SU dimensionals.  The sentiment was cut out with an EK Success punch.

I finished this card after going to dinner with my husband, sister and niece.  We had a great time.  My sister and I have both been sick for weeks and we could finally taste and smell so we went out for Mother's Day.  I just wish my kids could have gone.  Unfortunately, the public doesn't think my feathered babies are real children but I know better.

Please head over to Corrosive Challenges and see what everyone else has made for your inspiration and join us in the fun. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

From Your Little Devil

It is time for another Corrosive Challenges challenge.  This time we are celebrating Mother's Day.  The challenge is to make a Mother's Day project or a project for a special lady in your life.  Our sponsor is the amazing All That Scraps.  They provided me with the cute little devil image.

I decided to make a card for my great niece to give to her mother.   Bailey is 4.  I made her a card for her mother last year and Bailey was so excited to give it to her.  The inside of this card will say "From Your Little Devil".  It would have said Happy Mother's Day on the front but I couldn't find my stamp so I used a rub-on instead.  I am going to mail this to Bailey.  I wish I could be there to see her give it to her mom.  I just love her little smile.

Life's Special Moments

It's time for another Corrosive Challenges challenge.  This fortnight it is all about life's special moments.  Our sponsor is the amazing A Day for Daisies.  When choosing my image from ADFD, I found this clown.  It reminded me of the harlequin clowns my brother used to collect when he was in his teens and twenties.

I colored the image with Copics.  I drew the diamonds on his pants to make them a little more like the ones I remember my brother having.  Next, I cut him out and popped him up with SU dimensionals.  For the background, I sprayed some cardstock with walnut spray.  Then I stenciled some modeling paste I colored with ink on top.  It didn't quite come out the way I planned but I like it.  Someday I will learn not to wait until the last minute to do my project.  The circles and the ovals were done using EK Success punches.
