PIP Challenge 1816 Sasayaki Glitter

How was your weekend? Mine was so much better than last weekend and the prolific snowfall. Blue skies, cool temperatures and birds singing just do something so positive for one's outlook!

Another positive for one's outlook is crafting. So for the sake of your outlook (sanity) come play with us at the PIP challenge blog. Our sponsor this week is Sasayaki Glitter and she's offering a digital stamp to this week's winner. Bet your outlook is even better, right?

Naz kindly provided the image I used, Mia's Graduation. Kept things simple and colored everything with Prismacolor pencils except the skin. Just haven't mastered skin tone I like with pencils so I used Copics.

She was die cut (Nellie Snellen die) and edged with VersaMagic Mango Madness. Background paper is from DCMV's Fun in the Sun glitter pack. I die cut a section at the bottom, creating negative space for the sentiment, using Dotted Pattern - Scallop Frames from Studio Katia. Applied background paper to a white card and stamped sentiment. Mia is attached with foam tape.

Time for me to go so do yourself a favor and check out Sasayaki Glitter. She has great images and they are really versatile.   Pick an image or two and get crafty; just don't forget to share with everyone at the PIP challenge this week. We love seeing your entries.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 388 - Glimmer and Shine

Thanks for stopping by!
Tuesday Throwdown challenge time and we have a new sponsor (imagine me doing a happy dance now.) A warm welcome to Studio Katia.

I picked Hello Alice to play with. Isn't she a sweetie? I received some iridescent flowers and green and gold confetti with my order.

Alice and the umbrella were colored with watercolor markers, everything else with Copics. Die cut all but the sentiment and 3 sets of raindrops, which were stamped direct to the background paper. Mounted Alice with foam tape and added some flowers and confetti to her umbrella. Covered the umbrella with Diamond Glaze to mimic a vinyl look. Raindrops were filled with Diamond Glaze, tinted blue, along with the rain splash off the umbrella. Finishing touch was a single iridescent flower backed with a gold piece of confetti and topped with a yellow gem for it's center.

My thanks to Studio Katia for sponsoring us this week. Please visit her web store, lots to check out and as a small family run business, I know she goes the extra mile for her customers. As always, don't forget to enter into the Tuesday Throwdown challenge for your chance at the prize this week. Well that and I love visiting and commenting on your creations as well 😀.
