PANSY GIRL

UPDATE:  This card won the Artist's Choice Award at Aurora Wings!!  Thanks Mitzi!! I am so honored to be in that group of chosen artwork by you!!

Hi, There!

I love Pansies!  Actually all flowers and these were a challenge to color but I found some great paper for inspiration and had so much fun!  The paper is from DCWV Four Seasons Stack.  It was difficult to cut the paper apart but had to be done for the card.  The image from Aurora Wings is called Pansy and I have had this image for a long time.  Sometimes I need to keep looking at a digital image and "digest" it before I can color it.  So I think I digested enough! LOL  I colored her up with Copic markers and shaded with a black Spectrum Noir pencil.  Then fussy cut and used foam dots to raise the image.  Stardust used and liquid pearls here and there.   Shaded the paper frame with chalk.  Used a Martha Stewart border edge.  Some little paper butterflies here and there.  Glossy accent on her eyes and a piece of sparkle tulle behind the image to soften it up.  Thanks for stopping by and till next time, enjoy your weekend!  Hugs ~ CaroleAnn

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AIRMAIL STYLE

Hi, There!

I like these cute digital bears from Cuddly Buddly - they are just happy little bears and this one is on his way to wish someone special that I know a Happy Birthday!  I used Copic Markers to color and Spectrum Noir pencils for shading.  A Spellbinders' Scalloped Oval die cut to frame the image.   An embossing folder for the background frame and some star dust and liquid pearl here and there.  Added some butterflies since the charm reads, "Butterfly Kisses"!   Thanks for stopping by to take a look at my post, till next time, Hugs, ~ CaroleAnn

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY

UPDATE:  I won Top 3 at Artbymiran with this card!!!  Thank you!!

Hi, There!
I remember those days when I was "much younger" and the rain would make me sad because I wanted to be out playing or roller skating with all my friends.  Or perhaps this young lady is missing someone and writing her thoughts on her window pane!  This is a digital image from Artbymiran called Rainy Day which you can find here.  Well, we do have a rainy day here so I will be indoors but now I clean instead of pine!!!  LOL  Till next time, hope you have some sunshine to enjoy where you live, Hugs ~ CaroleAnn

Card Info:  Image was colored with Spectrum Noir Inks, papers are from My Mind's Eye/Home
Used some Glossy Accents for her eyes and stardust on the window pane and letters and rain.  A heart clip in the corner, some buttons, and two layers of cream lace - weblike and flowers.

CANDY FOR MY PRETTY

UP DATE!!  This card won for QKR Challenge #109!!!  And made Designer of the Day on 613 Avenue Create's Facebook page!!

Hi, There!
I absolutely love this digital image from QKR called Witch!  I had fun with this one as I popped out the hands with foam dots for a 3D effect.  I can just hear her cackle of "Want Some Candy, My Pretty?" - I computer generated that sentiment and used black frames for both the witch and the text.  Die Cuts used are Impression Obsession - Frames #219 and a Tree Die #242 that I cut apart and used behind the frame. The papers are from Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells and the candy stickers are from Jolee's.  Ribbon and button from my stash. Not sure I would take any of her candy but I will be raiding my grandkids' candy bags for some goodies - no shame when it comes to searching for those Butterfinger bars!!!  Till next time, my pretties - Hugs ~ CaroleAnn

Hi, There!

I received these great Halloween die cuts and just could not wait to try my hand at something - halloweenie!!!  Not one drop of ink was used on this card - a first for me!! LOL  Kind of a nice change of pace to not color and just cut out and glue together.  Halloween Set and Cat Set dies are  from DiesRUs! Love this one stop shopping for Die Cuts!!  Background paper from Authentique/Spirited.  Fence, tree, and Witch are also Impression Obsession die cuts.

LEAF DANCING

Hi, There!
I hope my post finds you enjoying your evening.  Rainy and very humid here for the month of October.  Lots of leaves are falling down with all the wind and rain tonight!  So I guess a lot of us will be "leaf dancing" after this weather is done!  This pair seem to be enjoying it and it was fun coloring them up.  I used my copic markers (sorry never recorded the colors) and all papers and stickers are from my halloween stash.  Love when I get to use up bits and pieces of my designer papers!  This image is from Cuddly Buddly by Artist Kim MacFarlane called Shall We Dance.
Till next time, Happy Leaf Dancing;)  Hugs ~ CaroleAnn

SWEET HALLOWEEN GIRL

Hi, There!
It has been awhile for me to get back into my mojo of blogging.  Was away for a few weeks and it is taking time to catch up on everything both at home and work!!  But I am so glad that I found the time to color up this adorable digital stamp by Chrishanthi - you can find her wonderful art work here!!  This one is called Halloween Girl so for PPinkyDolls Challenge of Fall Colors -  it is perfect!  I love all the fall colors surrounding us here in upper New York State.  I can't get enough of the colors so I am going onto my next project to color more fall colors.  So until next time, take care, get out and kick some leaves around - hoping you do not have to rake to many!!!  Hugs ~ CaroleAnn
