Crafty Gals Corner- Challenge #267 Fill in the Blank: Fancy _________

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

Can you believe it is May already?  The days are flying by.  I am loving the cooler weather here in So Cal, and hope they last as long as they can.  I do not like summer.

The challenge this month is Fill in the Blank: Fancy ________.  I chose to do a fancy FOLD for the challenge.  I used the Poppy Fairy image from Moondrea Designs for my card. 

 

Here is the card I created:

 

Here is a look inside when the card is folded into an easel card.

 

I colored the image with my Copic Markers:

Skin: E11, E21, E51, E50

Flowers: YR18, YR16, YR12, E79, E77

Hair: E79, E29, E25, E21

Leaves: G99, G94, YG03

Dress: BG49, BG15, BG45

Wings: BG45, BG13, BG11

Lips: RV23, RV91

I finished the card by matting the image with cardstock and adding the foiled  sentiment from Taylored Expressions to the inside,  I wanted to keep it simple as to not draw away from the image itself.

Thank you for stopping by and looking,  Please leave me a comment and then create your own "Fancy _____" and share it with us at Crafty Gals Corner.

Crafty Gals Corner- Challenge # 266- Fill in the Blank: Adorable__________

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

I am sure you have noticed that we have a new look with new graphics at Crafty Gals Corner.  I love the cherry blossoms and the fresh new look.  We still are the same group of designers and crafty gals, just with a new fresh look. 

Our challenge this month is Fill in the blank: Adorable _________.

The stamp I received to color up this month is from Poladoodle entitled "Party Balloon Bunny".  I think she is adorable and why I chose her for our challenge this month.

Here is the card I created. 

My color inspiration came from the Echo Park paper pack "Happy Birthday". Once I had picked the paper, I matched the solid papers and began coloring using my Copic Markers.

 

Fur: E57, E23, E34

Ears: E23, E34, RV34, RV10

Tutu and Balloon: BV17, BV13, BV02

Flowers: R89, R85, R83

Leaves: G99, G94, YG03, G28, G24

 

I used a label die from Stampin Up to cut out the bunny for my focal point.  I added some lace from my stash also.  To finish the card, I added the sentiment sticker from the paper pack and some peals from Pink and Main,  

She is ready for her next party and she is adorable.

 

Now it is your turn. Leave me a comment and then go and share an "adorable" project with us over at Crafty Gals Corner. 

 

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #265: Fill in the blank- Fairy Tale_________

Hello Crafty Friends,

March is here.  Where has the time gone.  I cant believe it is March already and time has changed here in California.  I love the longer days because it makes me more productive with more light, later.  

This month at Crafty Gals Corner, the challenge is to Fill in the blank- Fairy Tale ____________.  Some ideas would be fairies, princesses, mermaids, leprechauns, etc.  You get to pick and share your creation with us.

This month, one of our sponsors is Sheepski Designs.  I chose to use this cute fairy, Breena and Bear (Image #55).

Here is  the card I created with this fun image.

 I had fun creating this card.  

The first think I did was pick out the paper I wanted to use.  The paper is from some scraps I had from Echo Park.  I then picked out my Copic Markers to match.

I colored the image with:

Skin: E11, E21, E51

Hair: Y21, YR24

Wings: V17, V15, V12, V20

Bear: E25, E34

I finished the card, by adding a sentiment that I foiled from Taylored Expressions, added a bow to the bottom and some pearls from Pink and Main,

Now it is your turn.  Leave me a comment and then create something with a Fairy Tale theme and share it with us at Crafty Gals Corner.
