Tequila Time!

I saw this image at Kenny K Downloads and new exactly how I wanted to use it! Ever since I got into card making a couple months ago, I have wanted to make a spinner card. I saw them on you tube and thought they were really neat. This is what I came up with. 

I colored the worm with copics and BIC markers and also the green paper as I have a very limited color selection! The images in the corner are off the web and popped up on foam tape.

I think this is the closest to a CAS card as I have ever made! I hope you all like it. I do miss all the embellies, but this was a fun change!

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Blackberry Ice Cream

I'm back with another card! Yes, this is another 'Lady Raven" digi from Kenny K Downloads. Long story short, I got some new violet Copics and  an E50, so I wanted to test them out on a image I already had printed, because who can wait to print a new image out when you get new toys to play with? So, I was so pleased with how her skin and clothes came out I had to make a card specially for her. And, this is what I came up with! For Kenny K's Krafty Krew Challenge, blackberry is the ice cream theme I am going for in honor of the blackberries I have in the freezer from our garden waiting to be used !

I made the flower about a month ago and thought it was perfect for this card! The papers are from Prima's Nature Garden, beautiful! The bling is Say it in Crytsals, I think, and the metal corners are from Wild Orchid Crafts! I used a Martha Stewart punch for scallops and it does a beautiful job of standing in for lace. I have a hard time with using lace, especially black lace. To me it looks lingerie-like and out of place on a card, but my taste changes frequently and I am slowly warming up to the idea.

Here's my beautiful lady colored up. I need to practice more with black hair, but I am really happy with her light and bright face. I swear her butt has more shading IRL! Kenny K images are so fun to color, but I,at least, need to venture away from Lady R for a little bit!

Thanks for having a look and keeping me inspired. I don't know how you crafty peeps do it! It's so fun, but without you guys to look up to and be inspired by, I wouldn't be able to do it! The creativity and talent out there is astounding, intimidating and motivating! Which bring me to saying a big thank you for all the challenge blogs out there and their fabulous DT's !!!

Ava's Outside!

Hi all! I'm back with "Ava" again, a sweet image  from Saturated Canary. I am so happy with how her hair turned out! I didn't have an outdoors-y digi, so I put Ava outdoors. I sponged the background using Distress inks and a little paper cloud stencil I made. It looks good for my first attempt! The grass is done with my Bic markers, so it's not as nicely tapered like it would be with Copics. Clothes are done with Bics, also.

I put glitter glue on the edges of the flower petals to go with the glitter on the DCWV paper. I used an older sketch from Graphicat Sketches (sketch 4).
