A New Challenge At Pile It On

This week at Pile It On we want you to use sprinkles on your card or project. Cupcakes, Ice Cream, Cookies are just a few ideas. Our Sponsor this week is Squigglefly and you can find some great images there.
For my card today I used a Squiggglefly image and colored it with my Copics and then printed the top of the sundae and layered them up with Dimensionals and added some sprinl=kles and used some Crystal Effects on the cherry.  The papers are some from a pad I bought 4 years ago, believe it or not. I am trying to use up all the great things I have on hand. I'm running out of room to put new stuff. The paper for the card base and the flowers and butterfly are from a DCWV  Shimmerz Stack I bought at Michaels the other day.

 And how bought those flowers and that butterfly. Those SVG Files came from La La Studios and you will be seeing a lot more flowers made from these and other files. Must check them out.

 You can see the shimmer from the gel pen in this view and the Ranger glossy Glaze on the balloons and shoes. I like shiny things.

New Challenge at CS Designs

It is Wednesday and time for a new Challenge over at CS Designs Groups at Paper Craft Planet and  Simply Scrappin.This one is Easy Peasy anything goes but there is one requirement.


You must have at least one half circle in your creation and the circle must be at least 1.5" You don't have  to stop at one,you can use as many as you wish, but no full circles. For my card today I used one of Chris' Arty Montage Images   and one of the new Sentiments.The background paper I used for the Image was made by spraying iridescent mist onto a smooth surface and then smooching the pearl finished paper down in it. Then I colored the image with my Copics. 

 From this angle you can see the shimmer much better.

  Have a great Day Everyone and please come and join us.

Wacky Wednsday at Bugaboo Groups

Today is the first day of Wacky Wednesday over at the groups at Paper Craft Planet   and the Crafters Digital Art Center .  Starting Today on our groups we will  begin a Bugaboo Wacky Wednesday challenge! We will have challenges every week with yet another way to win free Bugaboo images and maybe a surprise or too! I hope you will join us!

To help kick off this new challenge I made this card using one of the Bugaboo Stella Tidbits Images.

Stella is so great. There is a huge sale going on over at the Store this month to celebrate the new updated Store so, go, grab up a bunch of images. So for my card I used some K&Co. papers and the butterfly is one of the elements that go with the paper but it was a different shade of green to start so I tried coloring this with my Teal Copics and look ,,,in the photo it looks green, not teal. 

 Here is a close up for you.

I hope you will join us at Paper Craft Planet or Crafters Digital Art Center and play along.

Have a great day everyone.
