TOO MUCH PINK... that's how I'd describe my card this week!  

I am going to give this card to the little girl that bunny-sat Nadia (our rabbit) while we were on vacation.

This is a set by CTMH that I've had for so long but NEVER used....  I love teddy bears too!  I had a hard time fitting buttons on the card.  I should have planned the design better but over all I think it's kinda cute.  What do you think?

Bear is colored with colored pencil and heart is done with SU! markers.  

Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails....

Create a card or project that is just for boys! How you do this is totally up to you! The possibilities are endless!

OK, so you recognize this little fairy girl from my last card?  I chose her from MFT for the LAST challenge (out of this world)  a while back and didn't realize I had my sponsors mixed up!  Had I had my brain in tact, I would have chose a more boy-ish stamp for this weeks challenge.  WELL, I used her anyway for BOTH challenges (it is a CHALLENGE after all!) 


I made the card dirty and grungy to try for a more masculine look.  I don't know if I pulled it off but I rather like the card. 


I used my SU! markers and colored pencils and Pearl Ex watercolors to give her shimmer. The background paper was borrowed from a friend who got it on clearance.  A little faux stitching, inking and distressing and it goes from BLA to FABULOUS!!
I'm starting to rethink some of my forgotten & dusty ol' patterned papers.....
 
 

You're Out of this World

This week’s challenge is almost like an “Anything Goes” challenge! You will create a card or project that includes something that would wouldn’t really see here on Earth! For example…a fairy, unicorn, robot, alien, animal wearing clothes carrying flowers, spaceships, etc…JUST HAVE FUN! Oh yeah…and don’t forget to stamp! We don’t call this a Stamptacular Sunday Challenge for nothing!

My card is a fairy!  I wanted it to look young and girly so I added more bling than I usually do.      

I used my SU! markers to color the images (regular colored pencils on her skin.)

The gold "swirl" are PearlEx water colors, touches of Crystal Lacquer throughout.

I'm very pleased with the results :)
