2 Cute Ink Challenge #103 - Anything Goes!

Happy Monday!

There is a new challenge at 2 Cute Ink starting today!  My favorite theme - Anything Goes :D.  I'm using Balloon Birdie today and I got out my Copic airbrush.

I used BG11 and my airbrush, along with a die cut cloud border to create a cloud background.  I colored the bird and balloon on a separate image and cut them out and glued them on my cloud background.

Sketch Saturday Challenge #302

Happy Saturday!

We have a new challenge starting today at Sketch Saturday!  Deedee Designs is sponsoring Challenge #302. The prize is 3 sets.  Deedee offers sets with colored and line images, sentiments and some sets include coordinating digital papers.

Sketch #302 was designed by Cathy

 Here is my interpretation:

 

The image, sentiment and patterned paper are from Whole Latte Love by Deedee.  I used the pre-colored image, which could not have made the creation of this card easier.  I think it is a great any occasion card.

The base card is PTI Kraft and matting PTI True Black.  I added a strip of crimped kraft cardstock, another coffee accent.

You can see all the DT creations using this week's sketch HERE.  Hope you will join us this week.

Sketch Saturday Challenge #299

Happy March!

Today, I am hosting Sketch Saturday.  The sponsor this week is A Random Fan and the prize is 3 digis.  As part of my hosting responsibilities, I organized the guest designers too.  There are 2 today, Sherry the illustrator for A Random Fan and MelissaO who is on the ARF design team and we were on Mabelle's DT together. 

Here is the sketch I came up with for this week:

I used 2 A Random Fan images - Autry's Art Lesson and also Monet's Bike, which I added as the picture she is painting. :D
