5 WITCHES (DOING THE ELECTRIC SLIDE)

Happy Saturday, isn't it great when you get some time to play and relax. This has been a really long week, I was late every night getting home from work and other activities. I am tired. But, today I get to color and play with paper. Although there are other household chores that need to be done. I will try to get some of it done before time to go back to work. But, first I play.

On Thursday I received that wonderful prize that I won from Midnight Madness. The spider web ribbon on this project was a part of that prize. I had seen the picture of what was in the prize. but, when I opened it up it was like Christmas. There was paper and sooo much ribbon. I am planning my next project already. The great thing about this prize was that It was all stuff that I did not own. None of my ribbons are that exquisite. The colors are gorgeous. Can't wait for you to see the results.

Now, on to my project. This is not a card. It is going to be used on a scrapbook page. I am going to the haunted house this weekend and this is going to be my header on my page. I have had the image for over a year and it has been colored on my desk for weeks. I used my prismacolor pencils to color it, because it was just easier to get the small details of the socks. I call this "5 Witches doing the Electric Slide". The sentiment stamp was bought at Archiver's on my trip to Chicago a couple of months ago. The bats and spiders are from Recollections at Michaels and the pumpkin who knows. This will be my last Halloween project for the year. So enjoy. The card stock is all Bazzill. The bling is from my stash. On the sentiment, I used copics  to color around it and to make it look like it went with the feet.

I think that the witches are having a wild party and the neighbors will start to complain at any moment. And yes there are challenges involved.

Another New Years Card

I can't believe that it is already Sunday and almost 12 noon. Before you know it will be time to go back to work. 3 days just goes by to fast. But, I have had a good time. I got to play with my papers and pens and even spent some time with my Prismacolor pencils and OMS. I used them on the card I am posting. It is for the challenge at Mo's Digital Pencil. I used one of Mo's images. I feel bad because I don't remember the little girls name. But, I think she is so beautiful. And she looks like she is having such a good time. I thought that I would use her to say Happy New Year to a friend that I did not send a Christmas card to.

As I said before, I used my Prismacolor pencils and OMS to color the dress and hair and parts of the flowers. I used my Sakura gel pens on the butterfly and some of the flowers. But for the skin I used my Copics. I have not practiced enough with the pencils to do skin color yet. But, I plan to work on it.

This card will also be entered into a challenge over at If the Shoe fits, Scrap it. The challenge there was to use 10 of brads, embellishments or bling. I used 10 rhinestones along the edge of my card. The ribbon is from my stash as was the rhinestones. Some of the purple papers came from my scrap folder. The DP is left over from my granddaughters scrapbook. The flowers are from my dwindling stash. The sentiment was typed on the computer and then I went over each letter with my Sukura purple metallic gel pen. And I used a little crystal stickles to represent fireworks.

I really like how this card turned out. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think. I love to read your comments.

Tilda with patches

Hi all,
I am back. This time with a birthday card using Tilda in patches using my favorite color in many shades (purple). I started out just practicing coloring with my Prismacolor pencils and mineral spirits along with Sprica glitter pens. I say practice because I have never worked with the mineral spirits and I truly did not know what I was doing. But after finishing the image I decided that I liked it and so I showed it to a few of my scrapbooking group and they loved it. So here it is .

The lightest part of Tilda's coveralls was colored with a purple Spica glitter pen, I took a chance. Then I used the pencils to color the blouse and patches in different shades of purple. Took the teal glitter pen and did the buttons on her coveralls, thought that would work and then I took my teal blue Copic pen and colored her socks. I loved it.

The flowers are from Big Lots and Michaels, all of the paper is from Hobby Lobby's Paper Studio. Of course I used the Cuttlebug's embossing folders, 3 of them. The ribbon is from my stash, which is growing fast. The inside of the card is decorated with some $1 stickers from Michaels. And the make a wish stamp I picked up at Tuesdays Mornings while I was out shopping today, cost  $.99. The only thing I am still having a problem with is lighting for my photos. So bare with me, I will get it eventually.

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think of my latest Tilda.
