Balloon Wishes

Good morning, today starts a new challenge at Catch the Bug Stella Says Sketch and what a great sketch!

Some-bunny

What a fantastic day outside, its 8C, sunny and gorgeous! Best of all no snow...until Sunday, come on spring! Today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Aud Sentiments and the challenge is to make a card/project for a child with a sentiment. I did an easel card using Bunny Wabbit and coloured the rabbit myself. I first used Prisma markers (alcohol) and then used prisma pencils with baby oil. Its the first time I've tried it and I LOVE it!

I used a die cut  and vellum to do the background "wire". 

I put a small white square on the inside for a small message.

Gene's 60th birthday

I love this image! There is a lady that is behind him on an inner tube, I just masked her off. I had originally wanted to put the sentiment Laughter is an instant vacation but since its not a digi after cutting everything else out I discovered that it was too large, so used this one.

Magical Garden

I've been working on this project for 2 weeks now and I think its finally done! It's so very colourful and at one point I thought I had waaaay too many dragonflies on it so I asked Sam (my son's girlfriend, the pictures for her but she doesn't know it) and she said there weren't enough dragonflies, lol! I added one more and I like it. I will be doing two more pictures both 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 I just haven't decided whether I'm mounting them on wood or putting them in a scrapbook frame. I made this specifically for a challenge over at Make it Crafty where they are having a month long 1 year celebration. The challenge is for merging images. I started with the mushroom house in the background, then the pond lily in front. I did the right side with forest flower, flipped it and put forest flower on the left side. The main sheet I printed twice so I could cut out different sections and pop them up. I separated the dragonfly and printed out different sizes onto a transparency sheet, cut them out and coloured them with stickles. I printed out the frog and added him to the lily pad. The only embellishment I added were rhinestone dragonflies I found at the dollar store and stickles, lots of stickles. I really like how it turned out and can't wait to start on the next one!

Wedding Purse

This is a Just Inklined stamp and totally gorgeous! It's also the largest card I've ever done at 8" x 4 1/4". Just Inklined on CADC (Crafters digital art centre) is having a guest dt call and all you have to do is create two cards, one that is serious and one funny, my funny card will be posted tomorrow. I printed the stamp out twice and then cut out the flowers, ribbon and leaves to pop them up. I added stickles to the ribbon and roses and then pearls for the baby's breathe. The embossing folder compliments the purse design perfectly. I had started to follow a sketch but by the time it was done, not so much, lol! I've entered this into:
