Bunnies & Peace

What day is it?

hee hee

Today we have a new challenge for you at:

Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge: Bunnies

We are being sponsored by A Day for Daisies and I used Bunny in a Tulip, colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits.  Papers & "So Sweet" chipboard piece are from My Mind's Eye.  Brads are from my stash.  

I turned my ATC into a card for the following challenges:

Creative Card Crew: Animals

Papertake Weekly: Anything Goes

Top Tip Tuesday:  Cute

Lexi's Creations: Easter

 

My TIP is this:  Use your ATC's and turn them into something else:  cards, tags, bookmarks, refrigerator magnets... I happen to have a lot of ATC's because I run an ATC challenge blog, so I do this quite a bit!  :)

....................................................................................

My next card is for the following challenges:

Unscripted Sketches

Through the Craft Room Door: Anything Goes

This was so simple to make - I just layered a piece of frayed white cardstock onto an orange card, then attached a bunch of orange gemstone stickers and an orange glittery peace sign sticker.  Voila - quickest card I ever made!  :)  Peace.

love yourself & DICC #74

Woke up to the sun shining today - such a nice change!  I was supposed to go out and do errands yesterday but it was rainy and gloomy and I just didn't feel like it.  I'm glad I waited, today is a much nicer day for running around!

But first - I'd like to enter this card below into the following challenges:

Cutie Pie Challenge: Cute with Dies/Punches

AllSorts: Use those Dies

I used a digi stamp I got from ppinkysdollart on Etsy, artist is Chrisanthi - I just love her style.  I colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits.  Paper is from MME, ribbon is from SU!  The notetab die and "love yourself" stamp are from My Favorite Things.

And next - we have a new itinerary challenge for you today at:

Desert Islands Crafts Challenge

Our sponsors are Delicious Doodles/Darkness & Rick St. Dennis.  My image is from Delicious Doodles:

I made a bookmark and used a quote from Poe's The Raven for my background.  Come play along with us for a chance to win a prize from these fantastic sponsors.  Peace.

A Random Fan & Stampotique

Good morning, friends.  Woke up to a gray sky and rain, but it's still better than snow.  I cannot wait to be able to have my windows open and see the sunshine for more than 10 minutes.  LOL

I was able to make the following card for both of the challenges at A Random Fan, so this is for the:

A Random Fan Challenge: Trains, Planes, Automobiles (transportation)

A Random Fan Sketch

 Anyone for Anya: Masculine or Grungy

Crafting When We Can: For a Child

Sweet Stampin': Transport

I used Noah the Cowboy, colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits.  I added some real buttons for the eyes of his stick-horse (his transportation!), and fussy-cut him out.  I used some of the words from the DP (which is from Carta Bella) to create the sentiment on the little flag coming out of his gun. Finished it off with a little charm I had from Joann's.
....................................................................

I'd like to squeeze this one into the:

Stampotique Challenge 140: Vintage

Sugar Creek Hollow: Create Your Own Background

Just Us Girls: Tall & Skinny Cards

I stamped my little angel on some Confetti cardstock from Stampin' Up! and tore around her, then inked the edges.  Her wings are colored with Gold Stickles.  I used the art definition stamp for the background, and then spritzed with Log Cabin & Spun Sugar Smooch Spritzes.  Added a piece of rickrack I had in my stash.  Peace.

A Day for Daisies: Pretty Pastels

Paper Crafting Journey: Anything Goes

I used Swimming with the Fish Mermaid from A Day for Daisies, printed on DP (Authentique) and colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits with lots of added Stickles in Frosted Lace.  I attached a little wooden star I had, colored it with Gold Stickles & drew on a couple of eyes so he'd look like a starfish.  hee hee

Papertake Weekly Sketch

Crafting When We Can #66: For a Child

Crafty Calendar: Animal Antics
