Let's See "Clouds, Sky, and Rainbows" this Week at Pixie Dust Studio!

This week's challenge at Pixie Dust Studio is to show clouds, sky, and rainbows on your card or project.

I found my rainbow DP at Michael's, and it's perfect for this week's challenge. I decided to make a circle card so I could use my new scalloped circle template. The image is "Pixie Ark" from the Oh Baby Collection. The textured waves are made from a scrap in my stash. The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby.

 What will you create for this week's challenge? For inspiration check out the blogs of our talented Pixie DT. Their links are in my sidebar.  Enter your project HERE for a chance to win a Pixie Dust image of your choice and a Pixie Star Award Badge for your blog. Need some cute images? Stop by the Studio!  There are so many to choose from! We can't wait to see what you create!

"Let's Get Sketchy" at MTMEPPS!

Blue is my favorite color, but I really like to use pink when making cards. Not this week! I was inspired by MTME DP from the Romance and Crawling Vine Silhouettes Collections. I love how the colors coordinate so you can mix and match collections!

The digital image is from the newly released Fine Finish Collection. I colored it digitally on my computer. The butterflies were made with a MS punch. The ribbon and lace are from Hobby Lobby. CS is Bazzill.

I'm a Belle of the Belli Guest Designer!

I am thrilled to be a Belle of the Belli Guest Designerfor Creative Belli Challenges! This week's challenge is to use three shapes on your card. I chose to make a two sided easel card for this week's challenge. Can you find my three shapes? The base of the card is a rectangle. The sentiment is placed on an oval, and the images are on circles.

 The images are from Pixie Dust Studio. The rabbit is "Peter the Rabbit" from the Egg Hunt Collection. The two eggs were borrowed from the image "Bunny Walter" from the Bunny Tales Collection. The sentiment is from Digital Delights. 

 The card was made with an 8"x 8" piece of CS. It was scored in half. and then in half again down to the score line. I then cut on the score line and stopped where it ended at the center of the card. Then score lines were made diagonally, and the flaps were folded toward the center. Then circles were glued to the flaps. 

 The spirit of the Belli challenges is to encourage you to use your OLD and FORGOTTEN embellishments! (My old embellishments are the pink felt flowers with rhinestones in the center. I found them in the Dollar bin last year at Michael's.)  Everyone is welcome to play along! Challenge a stamping friend!

Choose three shapes for your project, and link it HERE.Happy Crafting!

"Happy Easter" from Softpencil Studios!

Are you ready for Easter? If you need some Easter digis, Elizabeth has some adorable ones!

This week the Softpencil DT is showcasing "Easter Chick". I just love how the Tiny Twinies are peeking around the flower bush at the little chick hatching out of the egg. I colored the image with Copic markers and added Stickles to the flowers. Then rhinestones were added. Ribbon was threaded through the MS border. 

Stop by the blogs of the amazing Softpencil DT and see what they created with this image. Their links are in my sidebar. 

 Here's a look at all of the Easter Softpencil images that are available in the Softpencil Studios now.
