Color Dare 10, SC222

Two, two, two for the price of one! As usual, I'm combining two challenges. This time, I'm combining the SCS Sketch Challenge 222 with Color Dare 10 to use Tangerine Tango, Taken with Teal and Kiwi Kiss. I stamped this Bella image yesterday but didn't colour it yet. When I saw the Sketch Challenge and the Color Challenge, I knew exactly what to do. This came together pretty easy and I'm happy with it. I added a few sticky jewels in a light kiwi colour to both sides of the main image. I gotta get to work, so have a wonderful day!

K Werner Color Challenge 46

I did it, I did it! I finally got to a challenge before Donna! Ummm. Not that it's a competition or anything.! ( I win, I win, I win)...

Here is my seriously silly card:

Get it? With a chihauhau on top? See - I put a chihauhau on top of the cupcake....

Sorry - the lighting isn't the best in this photo, but the background paper from Pink Paislee has all the colours from the swatch (except black) and I thought it was kind of fun and festive. The banner and the cupcake were cut using my QK Silhouette. I added some pink and blue details to the banner with souffle pens.

The dogs are from Stamping Bella and they really deserved better than this, but I was in a silly mood. They are coloured with copics, cut apart and arranged around (and on top) of the cupcake!

O.K. Fun's over now. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along...

What's Up?

Donna, obviously! My dear friend is an early riser and she has already posted in response to two challenges today, before I even finished the first!

So having said all that, here is my post for Taylor's Friday Cupcake Challenge:

It's my first time playing and I fully intended to use a cupcake image in honor of Taylor, but somehow these adorable little owls I just got from Stamping Bella were "hooting" my name! Nothing too revolotionary to report on the making of this one. I just coloured the little darlings with my copic markers, chalked the background and used lots of lovely patterned papers and scalloped edges etc... to layer it all up. I did however, get a stern "talking to" by my hubby for breaking a little branch off of the Catalpa tree out front. He seemed to think that one of the dead twigs all over the front lawn would have sufficed. Hmmph! Just goes to show what he knows about "art." Clearly, a twig in bud was called for. LOL!

Billybootabella, SCS sketch challenge # 96

Cathy and I decided to trek up to Thornhill to the Stamping Bella store. They have everything there! I decided on purchasing billybootabella and sweetybellas. I made this card for a colleague who is a little under the weather. I thought the sentiment (Hero Arts) said "be kind to you" and not "be kind be you". Oh well, I'll write something appropriate inside! I used the SCS sketch #96 for my layout (love those challenges). I paper-pieced the Bella Rose DSP (see what I did there? Clever, huh?) on the umbrella and her top. I watercoloured the rest and made her poncho pink pirouette as well as her boots. Her skirt is riding hood red. I used the build-a-brad kit with the DSP and used earth elements ruby red brads as well. I'm sure my Bella collection will grow with time! Thanks for taking a peek!
