Zombie Love

The challenge at Dilly Beans this week is Zombie Love and how lucky for me that the free digi for the Silly Dilly Stamp Club was a zombie with hearts...perfect timing! I haven't colored too many of these images yet and feel like I'm just getting my feet wet with them, but I do know that I have soooooooooo much to learn when it comes to coloring. I thought I'd give Jen Shults sketch #37 a try...what a fun sketch and if you haven't seen Jen's coloring, you should take a look at her blog....AWESOME!

I used SEI DP, a MS punch, Copics, ribbon, TH mini-stapler, embossed paper heart from my stash, bling, and the sentiment was CG...EYE think it's cute, lol.

...To Call You Friend

This is a sweet card I made for a friend and I'm hoping she likes it when she gets it in the mail on Valentine's Day....shhhh, she might be reading this.

How awesome that Tracey at TSB gives a free digi to her followers once a week...and this image Telephone-2 is one of those freebies. I used double-sided K&Co DP that had butterflies on it, and after laying the base to my card down I fussy-cut some of the butterflies and pop-dotted them...perfect for the Flutter By Wednesday Challenge! The sentiment is CG.

Challenges:
TSB: #25 Valentine's
Flutter By Wednesday: #188 - Open

Stamps:
TSB: Telephone-2

Mermaid ATC

When I saw this week's challenge at Wicked Wednesday to make a mermaid ATC I smiled and immediately began to day dream of being at the ocean...ohhhh, the surf and sun...my all-time favorite vacation destination! IF, and that is a big IF, I had a craft area with finished walls each wall would be a different shade of the ocean because I wouldn't be able to make up my mind which color I like best, I luv all shades of blue and aqua.


Here is my ATC using TSB's digi Dawn image, I think she's gorgeous. The sentiment is a sticker and to be serious, I still love using stickers....I just don't want them to look like stickers?!! LOL!

Wicked Wednesday: #17 Mermaids

Simple Valentine

Here's a fun sketch that I found at 365 Days challenge blog, it's from their weekly Super Sketchy Sundays.



Both the hearts and ticket are from TGF's Tea-riffic Clear Set and I have to admit that this is one of my favorite clear sets of theirs as I think the sentiments and fonts are a perfect match. I used October Afternoon and DCWV DPs, along with kraft paper...it really has a homespun feel to it, don't you think?

TGF: Monday Funday #18 - Key to My Heart
Totally Paper Crafts: Pearls & Lace

Freaked

The current challenge at Dilly Beans is Freaked, ahhhhh...right up my alley....but eek, I don't have too many of the Dilly Bean images and I used the Sugar Skull last week...what was I to do? I decided to use the Hanging Heart Girl image and give her zebra striped hair using a new background stamp that I just bought. I think I covered "Freaked" and LOVE the final result of this card. I'm also entering this in Paper Playtime's Anything challenge...they always have fun challenges.

Dilly Bean: Hanging Heart Girl
OTC: Animal Print Background

Anya - The Greeting Farm
Fangs - Inkadinkadoo

Make a Wish

I used The Fairies Frolic Digital Stamp from The Stamping Boutique to make this card, it's such a prety image. After I colored the image with Copics I dabbed my glue pad over the entire image (white space and all) and sprinkled ultra-fine glitter over everything. Then I ruined my Versamark pad by inking the glittered image so I could apply and heat some clear embossing powder over the glitter...I was hoping the image would have a "dreamy" look to it and thank goodness it does, otherwise I'd probably be a little po'd that I ruined my inkpad. All in all, it's a very pretty effect and seeing how I now have a glittery inkpad...I'll be trying it again, LOL!

I used Jen Shults' sketch for the card for inspiration and hope I didn't sway too far away from her original sketch.



I'm entering this card in these challenges:
Deconstructed Sketch #35
The Stamping Boutique: #24 Die Cut
Flutter By Wednesday: #187 Embossing

Be My Skully Valentine

Take some SEI doublesided DP, a doily, the Dilly Beans Sugar Skull digi image, a handful of blue Copics, Crystal Snow glitter, Glossy Accents, alpha stickers, and a die...that's all it takes to make a cool valentine's card for my oldest son. I just know he's going to love this!


I used Glossy Accents on the eyes and sprinkled a little ultra fine glitter over the top of them...so spooky cool! I cut two navy blue flowers using the Spellbinders Kaleidoscope Die, then layered and pop-dotted them...used the same DP to make a rolled flower. And in my usual fashion, I glittered the top of the flower and stuck a couple of heart shaped stick pins in it....and here you go.



I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Dilly Beans - Have the Blues
Totally papercrafts - Make your own flowers

Thanks for stopping by, it's fun chatting with friends...old and new!
