Christmas with the Cuties has a new challenge Anything Christmassy and Cute with our optional theme  of "Oh Christmas Tree".

This darling image is Driving Home for Christmas.  I used Copic markers to color the image then added some glossy accents to a few areas, along with White Blizzard Nuvo Glitter Drops.  I also used shimmer spritz over the entire card. I used a diecut on the sentiment strip and placed it on top of the red ribbon.

Butterflies

Welcome to our Butterfly Challenge at Creative Sketchy Girls!   Our sponsor for this challenge is Oddball Art and the lucky winner will receive 3 digis of their choice!

This image is Josie & the Butterflies and I colored her using Copic markers then masked Josie and the butterflies so I could apply distress inks over a stencil.  I used a butterfly diecut to make the yellow butterflies and attached them with pop dots to the card. To finish it off I added a few gems.

This image is from Beverly's Bakery Stamp Set.   I colored the cake with Copic markers and added glossy accents to the inside.  I used a no-name brand Slimline diecut that included the background pieces as well as the circles.  I added some banner flags across the top and added some gumdrop gems to the centre for dimension.

Favorite Cookie

 Non-traditional Christmas Colors is our theme for our August challenge at Christmas Craft Creations! I love this theme, Christmas is no longer about red and green and it get's your creative juices flowing.  

I purchased this stamp set, Favorite Cookie by Create a Smile last year and this is the first time I've used it and won't be my last.  

I created the background using Distress Inks (sorry, can't remember to colors) then spritzed water overtop.  To create the snowbank I used Hillside Border dies and added Stickles along the bank for some snow sparkle.

I colored the images with Copic markers and added a few accents with a white gel pen and added glossy accents to various parts.  You will note that the glossy accents look different, well it bubbled with the heat gun - why use a heat gun you ask .... well it looked a bit bare so I decided to stamp snowflakes using Versamark and white embossing powder hence the need for the heat gun.  Note to self - use glossy accents as the last, last step.  

Thanks so much for stopping by and don't forget to jump over to CCC and check out the fabulous creations by our Design Team.

I chose to work with Christmas Cheer for this challenge.

Epic Day

Creative Knockouts next challenge is Anything Goes!   

Our sponsor for this challenge is LeAnn's World 101 and the lucky winner will receive two images of their choice! 

The image I chose to work with for my slimline card is Game Boy.  I started off by coloring with Copic markers then took to fussy cutting all those nooks and crannies. 

 I decided to try out my new stencil, Rays of Light by Creative Expressions.  I used Distress Oxide Inks (Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Barn Door, Seedless Preserves), then sprayed some shimmer spritz all over.

I added pop-dots to the back of the image and placed it in the centre of the card.  The sentiment was computer generated, cut out and attached with pop-dots.

I wasn't too sure how this card was going to turn out but once I added the sentiments it took on a whole new look which I really like.  Thanks so much for stopping by and look forward to seeing your creations.
