PIP Challenge 1706 Feb 6 - Sasayaki Glitter

Welcome to another PIP challenge, this week our sponsor is Sasayaki Glitter. She has some of the cutest images at her Etsy store. I actually couldn't make up my mind between the two images we were provided so... I used them both!

First up is: Mouse and Hedgehog.  I couldn't resist coloring Mr. Hedgehog like a porcupine with all those wonderful "quills" on his back.  I colored with Copics and the numbers will be listed at the end. A bit of detail cutting, including separating the mouse from the image so I could mount him back a bit to observe the butterfly landing on the nose. Papers are from DCWV's "Nana's Kitchen" stack. The sign is cut from one of those sheets and hung with a bit of wire and an enamel eyelet. Everything is mounted to a white 5 x7" card blank.

Next up is Winter Flamingos, which I really had a grand time coloring! Again Copics were used and colors listed below. The die is "Puzzle Effect" from Spellbinders and paper is from The Angel Company (no longer in business.) Small snowflake is from my stash I created a few weeks ago. A bit of glitter and white flocking were used on the snow/snowflakes and glaze on their eyes. The blue card base is 6 x 6" (finished size) of Bazzil paper  I hope you get as big of a kick out of these snow "loving" birds as I do. I can safely state that these birds will soon be thawing as they are on their way to Florida for sand, surf and sun.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the end result as much as I did in creating. Don't forgot to check out Sasayaki Glitter and join us on the PIP Challenge this week. Remember, anything goes!

CHALLENGE 1702 Jan. 9 Digital Delights by Louby Lou

I don't know how many are aware that there is a new challenge blog in the blog-a-sphere. It's called Pammie's Inky Pinkies or PIP for short. I am thrilled to say I am officially a PIPette! Of course, I won't discuss my inky fingers, mainly because mine are usually glittered,after being inked.  This week is the second challenge for PIP and our sponsor is Digital Delights by Louby Lou. Digital Delights offers, digi stamps, papers and cut files

 I used "Dig You Dolly" for my card today. After all, who can resist a bunny?

I colored Dolly with my Copic markers, using the warm grays. The shovel and flower make me think of spring (which I am soooo looking forward to) so I stayed in a springy color range for the rest of the card. The little flowers in front, which are not as bright, but more opalescent, are sequins from Fun Stampers Journey. My base card and overlay are called a "bib" card for obvious reasons.

Here is my card showcasing the ever so cute Dig you Dolly from Digital Delights.

Isn't she a smile inducer!

Now that you've seen what I have made head over to Digital Delights by Louby Loo, shop a bit (Valentine's Day is next, people) and when you are done shopping, get creating. Can't wait to see those entries on the PIP challenge blog.

Parting thought:  No winter lasts forever; no spring skips it turn.
