Summer Flamingo -- for Sasayaki Glitter Stamps

I love Sasayaki Glitter images.   Over on at The Outlawz, the Twisted Thursday group is having a Beach Babe challenge, and I knew I had just the perfect "babe" to color up for the challenge!

I used the darling digi, Flamingo on the Beach to create this: 

I colored Flamingo on the Beach with Copic markers.  The sentiment is from the We Are 3 Digital Shop.  It is one of the Itty Bitty Summer Sentiments.  Papers on the card are from Imagine That Digistamp.

Wine O'Clock Birthday Wishes -- for Sasayaki Glitter

It's the 15th of the month, and that means it's time to feature Oldies but Goodies at Sasayaki Glitter Stamps. We're re-visiting The Boys this month, and I chose to color up and create with Wine O'Clock. 

Wine O'Clock reminds me of that saying, "it's 5 O'Clock somewhere!".  I colored Wine O'Clock with Copic markers, and fussy cut it,  then set out to find some wine related papers to create with.  I found this wine glass paper at Pixel Scrapper.  The wine glass die cuts are a die from Technique Tuesday.  The tag behind Wine O'Clock is from Close To My Heart.  The banner that I stamped the sentiment on is from Diamond Press. 

There will be other Oldie but Goodie boy images featured today at the Sasayaki Glitter Blog, so I hope you check it out here.  You'll find even more great inspiration in the Sasayaki Glitter Facebook Group.

It's the 3rd of the month, and that's the day that a new challenge starts on the Sasayaki Glitter Challenge Blog.  Challenges run for a whole month, and this month, the theme is "making waves" -- perfect for summer themed projects!

I used the darling digi from Sasayaki Glitter called Swimmer Elly to create this: 

I colored Swimmer Elly with Copic markers, then computer generated the sentiment.  The dot on dot paper is digital, and is from AMB Illustrations.  

Making Waves -- a very fun theme for this month's challenge at Sasayaki Glitter Challenge Blog.  I hope you can join us!

What better way to get Up In the Sky than with Pilot Shy?

Celebration Mouse -- for Sasayaki Glitter Stamps

It's time for a Celebration at Sasayaki Glitter Challenge Blog.  The theme this month is "Congratulations".  Take that any way you want -- wedding, graduation, birthday, new baby, there are many occasions to celebrate, and Sasayaki Glitter Stamps has many, many images that will work for this challenge theme!  The challenge goes for a month, so you have lots of time! 

I decided to go with a birthday theme, as I never seem to have enough birthday cards on hand.  I used the very cute, very fun Birthday Cake Mouse on this card: 

I colored up Birthday Cake Mouse with Copic markers.  I've been in a pastel state of mind with my Copic coloring lately, and I used them again on this card.  I thought it made that cake look yummy enough to eat!

Papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  There's papers from the Cupcake Wrappers paper collection (left strip and middle strip).  The other 2 smaller strips are from the Celebrate paper pack. 

Speaking of 'Celebrate', the sentiment is cut out with a die from Frantic Stamper, purchased from the Dies R Us Store.  The balloon is a die from Paper Wishes, and there's a tiny bit of Timeless Twine to finish off the card. 

I hope you are able to join us this month at Sasayaki Glitter's Challenge Blog.  You have until June 2 to link up!

I used the fun Giraffe & Moon digital stamp to create this:

I colored Giraffe & Moon with Copic markers, then used a rocking card file I found in Silhouette Design Store to cut out the card base with my Silhouette Cameo 3.  I computer generated the sentiment.  The stars background paper is from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  It is one of the papers on the Outer Space collection.

This is Reaching Stars:

I colored Reaching Stars with Copic markers.  I cut out the stars accent frame on my Silhouette Cameo 3 with a file I found in the Silhouette Design Store.  The sentiment was computer generated. The star paper is from AMB Illustrations. The silver star was on my work desk from a previous project.

There are 3 New Releases today, but I colored up My Prince:

I don't know.  I don't think that frog is too happy about that kiss, do you?  Oh well, I do hope he turns out to be her prince, or it will be a disappointment for both of them!

I colored My Prince with Copic markers.  The papers on this card came with a magazine, and are from Crafter's Companion.

The hearts die behind this image is, I believe, from Simon Says Stamp.  I computer generated the sentiment and cut it out with a label die from Paper Wishes.

Warm Wishes -- for Sasayaki Glitter Stamps

Greetings, fellow crafters!  Warm wishes are needed here in the Northland, where Winter has arrived very early.  We're having unseasonably cold temperatures, so all the holiday cards I'm making are right on cue!

I'm posting today for Sasayaki Glitter.  The Sasayaki Glitter Challenge Blog is having a reminder post.  The theme this month is 'travel'.  I've traveled all the way to the South Pole, with this adorable penguin, to send you Warm Wishes!

This is Candy Cane Penguin, found in the Sasayaki Glitter Etsy Shop.  I colored Candy Cane Penguin with Copic markers.

The papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  This is the Peppermint Paper Collection.  The sentiment is stamped on the card stock, with an acrylic stamp from Technique Tuesday.

I hope you can travel over to the Sasayaki Glitter Challenge blog and link up your travel-themed card yet this month.  There's still plenty of time, and Naz has some wonderful digis in her Etsy Shop that will fit the theme! 

Enjoy the Ride -- for Sasayaki Glitter Stamps

It's a new month, so there's a new challenge at Sasayaki Glitter Challenge Blog.  This month, the theme is 'Travel'.  Naz has some wonderful digis in her Etsy shop, and many of them would fit the transportation theme. 

I used the adorable Mouse on Bike to create this:

I colored Mouse on Bike with Copic markers.  I saved the tires for last, and was on the second tire when, "blop", my Copic marker dripped.  I was able to hide the mistake with my sentiment.  Phew!  That was close!

I used a past sketch from Sketch Saturday on this card. 

Papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop. There are 2 collections represented here, both from the November New Release.  There's a Touch of Teal (polka dot paper) and  Watercolor Canvas (circle and teal strip behind image).

The bicycle paperclip is from a card kit I purchased long ago from Simon Says Stamp.  It took me about as long to find it as it did to create the card.  But I knew I had it somewhere!

I've Got Your Back -- for Sasayaki Glitter Stamps

It's the middle of the month, and it's time for some mid-challenge inspiration on the Sasayaki Glitter Challenge Blog.  The theme this month is Halloween/Harvest.

I used Sasayaki Glitter's image #64, Naughty Alien, to create this:

I colored Naughty Alien with Faber-Castel Polychromos pencils.  Once I got done, I wasn't sure if the Naughty Alien looked expertly shaded, or if he looked like a 5 year old picked up the pencils and colored!  Oh well, I had fun either way.

The sentiment was computer generated.  Papers on this card are from Echo Park. 

I hope you can join us this month at Sasayaki Glitter Challenge Blog.  There's still plenty of time to enter our Halloween/Harvest themed challenge.

I colored Monster Family with Faber-Castell colored pencils. The sentiment was from an old Close To My Heart acrylic stamp set. The black stars and heart embellishments are also from Close To My Heart.
