PIP Challenge 2008

Welcome to PIP Challenge 2008, an Anything Goes Challenge, sponsored this week by Gerda Steiner Designs.  This sweet image is called St. Patricks Day Cat and Hat.  Thank you to Gerda Steiner for providing this image for the design team members to use.  I colored the image with Copic markers and added just a touch of Spectrum Noir sparkle marker on the 4-leaf clovers. I also added some tiny clear gems around the buckle on the hat.  The designer paper was given to me by a good friend - thanks J - and the rest of the cardstock was from my stash.  This was a fun card to make, and I hope you'll check out all the great products at Gerda Steiner Designs.  Be sure to visit Challenge 2008 to see some awesome inspiration from the other design team members and upload your creation for a chance to win a $15 gift code from Gerda Steiner...….that's a really nice prize!!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 451

Welcome to Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 451, where our theme this week is "Use Your Favorite Color".  I can never decide if blue or purple is my favorite color.....you see a little of both in this card. But I ended up going with purple, so I guess today that's my favorite!  Our sponsor this week is The Paper Shelter, and I'd like to thank them for this beautiful image for the design team members to use.  It's called "A Refreshing Drink" and is colored with Copic markers.  I used some purple papers from my stash to create the layers and added a quick thinking of you sentiment.  A little Spectrum Noir sparkle marker was used on the sunglasses.  Please visit our challenge HERE and uplink your creation for a chance to win a nice prize from The Paper Shelter.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
