It's Not Easy Being Green

 I wanted to get this posted today before I head out - I love the free image challenges at Conjurer of Dreams, they are a fantastic group to play along with! This is my entry for the:

Conjurer of Dreams Tag Challenge

Wednesday's Creative Inspiration - Anything Goes

A Place to Start - Anything Goes/No Rectangles

Girlz and the Art of Letters - F is for.... FROG!

I used my Luggage Tags Wafer Dies from Simon Says Stamp - the hot pink one was stenciled with translucent crackle paste and then rubbed with a black ink pad. I printed out the free image from CoD that was required for this tag and used the smaller luggage tag die to cut him out. I printed out the sentiment and die cut it with my Scalloped & Stitched Sentiment Nesting Dies from Unity Stamp Co. Peace.

don't give up

 Hi friends!  I'm super excited to announce I've joined the design team for the

In the Pink

I used the adorable Monty & Maisy Bear with Umbrella image for my creation:

I used digi papers from Polkadoodles that I had in my stash, die cutting a heart and banner from them and sponging with bright pink ink. I colored the image with Copics and die cut with another heart. I added some stitched ribbon and a little sticker sentiment "don't give up".

I used the Cheeky Kitty digi from The Greeting Farm, colored with Copics and fussy cut, then attached with foam tape. Sentiment is from the Roadies Volume 70 set at Ink Road Stamps, die cut with one of the dies from the Decorative Sentiment Dies set at Emily Moore Designs. Peace.
