Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges - I Love You Beary Much

Hello, hope your holidays were joyous!  We're back and it's time for a new challenge at Penny's Challenges.  The sponsor for our challenge this week is the sweet MMedel Illustrations.

For my design team project, I had the opportunity to create with one of the Valentine's Day images, I Love You Beary Much.  This image isn't just limited to Valentine's Day though, it would be great for a Birthday, Thinking of you, Mother's Day, Father's Day; any occasion you can imagine.  I just love this little bear with his or her arms outstretched...…

I have colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, used some digital papers I had in my stash and added a bow, Wink of Stella and Crystal Nuvo Drops for accents.  I hope you think this little bear is as cute as I do.

Please stop in at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges this week and join in the fun.  Also, please visit the new challenge blog The Paper Funday Challenges; a monthly challenge blog for all things paper.

I hope you've been inspired and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges - Mums in a Basket

Hello and it's time for a new Challenge at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges.  We have 2 wonderful sponsors this week; the awesome Pattie's Creations and Maria Medel Illustrations.

I have the pleasure of working with the Mums in a Basket by Pattie's Creations and this is a lovely image to color up.  Since it's still Autumn and I'm enjoying the cooler weather, I wanted to make a warm Autumn card with this digi.

I used Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers to color the image, fussy cut and inked around the image and the mats with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and added some sparkly gems for additional accents.  I stamped the word Grateful and Heat Embossed for a nice, bold look.   This card measures A-6 (4.5" x 6.5") and is a tent (top) folding card.

I hope you'll join us in the challenge at Penny's this week for your chance to win from one of our two sponsors.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
