Get Creative Challenges has a new challenge up.  This challenge is to use something red, and one other color in your project.  For this challenge the Design Team used digital images for Just Me Digital Stamps , Sami Stamps, and Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  Both companies have beautiful images, that make up fast and easy into cards.  Here are two that I completed for the challenge.  I hope you will join us for this challenge.   Go here . . .

Get Creative Challenges #43

Happy July everyone.  I hope you are keeping cool, where ever you are.  I am pleased to announce that I am once again back with Get Creative Challenges Design Team.  I am excited to be working with some very talented ladies.

Today, I am sharing with you a fun card.  Mermaids seem to be all the rage these days, and who am I to not share in the fun.  This challenge is sponsored by Ikeart, and wow, what fabulous images they have to work with, whether you are doing a card, a mixed media arts project, or a scrapbook page.   For this card, I am using the mermaid.

With a theme of Celebrations, I knew just what I wanted for this project, but had to figure out how to do it.  After many trial and error sessions, I finally got the look I needed and wanted using Photoshop to color my image.  The rest was easy enough to do.  She turned out beautiful, and because I did not want to take away from the design, I chose to stay clean and simple.  The one thing I wanted to do and did not was add Wink of Stella to her for some sparkle.  I chickened out, because as I siad, I did not want to take anything away from the fabulous image.

Easter Bunny Bonnet

Hello again, 

I am a new member of the Get Creative Challenges Purple Design Team.  My first task as a purple team member is the great digital image from Rick St. Dennis called Easter Bonnet Bunny.  the challenge this week was to use the color green in your project.  

Here is what I chose to do. 

This is a great image and I found it enjoyable to color and create a nice card with.  The image is colored with prisma colored pencils, and while you cannot see it very good, her jewels, the lines in her dress, the hem,  and even her hand bag all have some sparkle added.  I use my Sparkle Gel pen to add some glitter and make it look like she had bling all over and around her dress.  I even  added some bling sparkle to her hat and flowers. 

The paper I used is from my stash, and I thought it went perfect with this image.  I carefully rounded the top left only of the digital image and added a green bow for accent.  I found the perfect gold button with a jade heart in the middle to finish the card of perfectly.

I hope you enjoy!
