Shy Guy

This guy is a shy one when it comes to showing his love. You can find him at Sliekji's Digi Stamps. Simple but elegant, I didn't think he wanted a whole lot of attention or embellishments.


Although Shy, I'm entering him in this challenge-PollyCraft's Fit For A Princess (because he is)

For My Princess

Look how cute this little guy is! Sliekje may not speak my language, but her artwork speaks to my heart. She puts out freebies that are adorable often-my kind of artist! This little guy sits awaiting for the princess in his life, so he can deliver a special gift to her. The neat thing about Sliekje, is that she loves kittens, and there is almost always one in her work!

I also did a couple things I have never done before: 1. acented a character with an irregular shape 2. used both sides of a double sided paper in one card 3. cut out part of a background to use as an accent (butterfly); and seldom do I allow anything to hand off the edge of the card (but I do on occasion).

Pretty Pretty Princess

This darling image is from (can you guess--I guess the real question is, have you read my last few posts?) DigiSparkle, yes it was free! She is colored in chalk, see second picture for a better view. I decided she needed some 'bling' to go with the blue background, hence the diamond shaped gold paper. The flowers are just for fun!


Of course this Princess qualifies for the challenge over at PollyCraft-Fit for a Princess
as well as One Stop Craft Challenge's-patterns

Ewww!

Yuck, yuck, yuck. But maybe she will get her prince...
This stamp is by DigiSparkle, who is giving a whole collection (yes, they correlate) away free this month! The paper is by Amanda Blu.

This pretty pucker deserves to be entered in PollyCrafts Fit for a Princess Challenge

Kiss A Frog

I had lots of fun tonight playing around with my new Fairy Tales Again stamps from DigiSparkle. These are a couple from her free file this month (click on the link to the left to go right to it). The paper was also fun, both are from Amanda Blu.

Tiskit a Tasket

Isn't she gorgeous?! I certainly enjoyed coloring her. She was a digital freebie, but when I went to trace her back, I couldn't find her again :( I really got into the blending of colors in her dress. I have really gotten into yellow lately, I just love the way it goes with the blue!



Challenges:
Lots To Do-scenic
and a new challenge site for me One Stop Craft Challenge-patterns

Cross your fingers for me!

Fly Away

This is a very different card for me. I don't think I have ever repeated an image (which is strange, because I see it done all the time and like the way it looks). Also, I tend not to use such bold colors for the background, but I figured this time I would to bring out the butterflies' coloring. Another thing I don't think I have ever done is left part of the image up off the card. I glued the body and put a brad on the thorax, but the wings are free to fly! I also added a chalk shadow under the image (which of course is new because I have never let the image fly before). So a plethora of newness in this card, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it!

Challenges:
Flutterby-wings and fav color (mine are red and purple, both of which are in this card)
