Holly Fairy -- For Ching-Chou Kuik

 It's Tuesday, and it's my day to post on the Ching-Chou Kuik Challenge & Inspiration Blog.  Every Tuesday, I'm lucky enough tote able to color up one of these wonderful images!

Today, I worked with the delightful Holly Fairy.  She's part of a set of 4 Christmas Digital images. 

I colored Holly Fairy with Copic markers.  The gorgeous dies on this card are by Anna Griffin.  It's kind of hard to see the background paper, but it's by We Are 3 Digital Shop, and is from the Fairy Holiday Collection. The sentiment was computer generated and cut out with a die from Tonic Studios. 

Christmas is almost upon us!  I hope you are ready, and I hope you enjoy your holidays!

Hello Summer Slimline Card -- For Paper ala Mode Challenges

 It's Saturday, and it's time for a new challenge at the Paper ala Mode Challenges, found at The Outlawz.  The challenge will run for 2 weeks, and is sponsored by We Are 3 Digital Shop. One participant will win a gift certificate to the We Are 3 Digital Shop! Thank you, Bonnie, for your continued support of our challenge!

The Paper ala Mode challenges always have a theme, and this time, the theme is Summer! 

I used mostly We Are 3 Digital Shop products on this card.  The designer papers are from the Cone Flower Love collection.  The pretty flower that I used watercolor markers on is Cone Flower Bloom.  The sentiment is part of the Itty Bitty Summer Sentiment Set. 

The dies on this card are by Anna Griffin -- except the butterfly.  I've had that die forever, and I think it's by Paper Wishes. Oh, and the stitched circle die is by Crafter's Companion. 

Summer -- a  great time of year, and a great theme for a challenge!  Join us at Paper ala Mode for the next 2 weeks!  Sponsored by We Are 3 Digital Shop!

Pansy Pail Sympathy - for Jan's Digi Stamps Challenges

 It's the first Monday of the month, and it's time for a new challenge at Jan's Digi Stamps Challenges. Challenges run for a month, and they are always anything goes.  

We're having a cool (OK, cold) spring, so I'm craving flowers and bright colors.  That made me want to color up one of the many beautiful floral images in Jan Mahew's Shop. I used the flower pot full of pansies from Springtime.

I colored the flower pot and pansies with Copic markers.  I cut it out with a stitched circle die by Crafter's Companion.  The doily die is from Anna Griffin. 

The sentiment is from a different Jan Mahew set. It's part of the Botanical Orchids set. 

Papers on this card are by We Are 3 Digital Shop. They are part of GranMargaret's Flowers. 

There are some great prizes that you could win for linking up at Jan's Digi Stamps challenges. There's a random gift certificate awarded, and another for a Jan Mahew image. There are also 3 designer choice awards given.

Sakura in March -- For Ching-Chou Kuik

 Happy Spring, everyone!  Easter is inching ever closer, so I couldn't pass up the chance to color up one of the beautiful floral/Spring images in the Ching-Chou Kuik Etsy Shop. I'm posting on the Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration & Challenge Blog. 

For today's inspiration, I used the gorgeous image, Sakura in March:

It is a black & white image that I colored with Copic markers.  That embossed and die cut panel behind her is a die from Anna Griffin.  The cute bunny die cut has been in my stash for a long time, but was purchased from a company called Peachy Cheap. 

There is a challenge underway at the Ching-Chou Kuik Blog.  The theme is Easter &/or flowers. There's still time to join us!  Visit the CCK Blog often for wonderful inspiration! For even more inspiration, try the Ching-Chou Kuik Facebook Group.  You'll find another challenge there, too.

Love, Love, Love -- For Ching-Chou Kuik

 It's my day to be on the Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration & Challenge Blog.  A new challenge is just getting underway there.  The theme this month is, "All You Need is Love". Ching-Chou Kuik has so many wonderful images that fit that theme in the GJZCCK Etsy Shop.  I certainly hope you join in on the fun!

I used the beautiful image titled simply, "Love" to create this:

I colored Love with mostly Copic markers, but a few Spectrum Noir markers too. After coloring, I fussy cut the image, then embossed and cut out the background with a die from Anna Griffin.  The background paper is from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  It is one of the Hearts in Love Collection. 

Please join us this month for our "All You Need is Love" Challenge.  You'll find another challenge and even more inspiration in the Ching Chou Kuik Facebook Group.
