PIP Challenge 1844

Happy Monday, and welcome to PIP Challenge 1844, an Anything Goes Challenge, sponsored this week by Polkadoodles.  Love the images at Polkadoodles - be sure to check out their website for an amazing selection of great products.  This image is called "Snowdrift Friends" and is so adorable!!
I colored the image with Copic markers and fussy cut it out.  I layered it on a piece of sparkly red glitter paper and then again on a piece of green cardstock embossed with a sequins embossing folder from Darice. The sentiment is a cutie from Fun Stampers Journey cut out with a heart die cut (Stampin' Up). The ribbon is a piece I found in my stash.

I hope you'll check out Challenge 1844 at PIP Challenges this week to see some awesome inspiration from the design team and then uplink your project for a chance to win a great prize from Polkadoodles.  Love seeing what you create!  Thanks so much for stopping by - have a wonderful day!

PIP Challenge 1843

Welcome to PIP Challenge 1843, sponsored by Di's Digis.  Our theme this week is LEAVES.  Thanks so much to Di's Digis for being a great sponsor - check out all their wonderful products HERE.
I had so many ideas for a "leaves" card and ended up using an embossing folder technique.  I dobbered ink on the inside of the embossing folder, using different fall colors.  Then I ran a piece of white cardstock through the machine with the embossing folder, creating a background of leaves.  I used a single leaf image from Fun Stampers Journey and colored it with Copic markers.  I layered it on a piece of gold cardstock from my stash.  I made a banner of 2 other fall colors for accent.  I added 3 gold sequins to finish off the card.  I haven't decided what kind of card it will be yet, so no sentiment was added.  Please visit our challenge this week to see some awesome inspiration from the other design team members and get your project uplinked for a chance to win a really nice prize from Di's Digis.  Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a great day!

PIP Challenge 1842

Welcome to PIP Challenge 1842, an Anything Goes Challenge, sponsored this week by Digital Delights by Louby Loo.  I've chosen this cute image called Dr. Dan.  Please visit Digital Delights website to see all the wonderful products there!

I colored the image with watercolor pencils and an aqua pen and after it was all finished I wasn't sure what kind of card to make it.  So for now it is a generic card.  I used Spellbinders dies to cut it out and added a few enamel dots.  I added just a touch of Spectrum Noir sparkle pen to the light and glasses.

So glad you stopped by - be sure to check out our challenge this week at PIP Challenges and get your project uplinked for a chance to win a nice prize from our sponsor.  Have a wonderful day!
