Crafters Cafe Challenge #308 Theme: Smile/Be Happy

 It's time for another challenge brought to you by Crafters Cafe.  This month our theme is Smile/Be Happy.  Here are the sponsors.

Prize~2 Digi images



Prize~3 images

Wow!  Two of the most famous sponsors in digital images.  I love working with them both.  Please go show some love and leave a nice thank you!

This month I am creating with an image from My Besties called Smitten Kitten.  Here she is!

To color my kitten I have used my Arteza colored pencils.  I 
really like to use these.  They color a little differently than the
Prismacolors.  But still do the job nicely.  I paper pieced the
fish she is holding used silver metallic paper.  The actual card
base is a dark purple.   Followed with a sheet of purple Jacquard.
The phrase is just something I made up.

That's it for this month.  Next challenge will be on June 15th and I hope you can all have some fun along with the design team.  So from the bottom of my heart to your,

Stay safe, Stay Healthy and know you are blessed!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #255 Lace and Pearls

 Hello and welcome to another challenge at Crafty Gals Corner.  Next month (June) will start our transition to anything goes with a twist.  So keep tuned!  Here is the sponsor for this months challenge.

                                                 

Moondrea Designs

Prize~~$10 Gift Certificate


Just a wonderful new name for what I remember as MoonFlower digi stamps.  Well Andreia is back!!!!  Her designs are gorgeous and wonderful to work with.  Please go say hello and leave some love!


Now my project is using an image called Ashley Toad Fairy. Here is my design.

I started off with dark brown cardstock as a base.  The clipart
arch was found by searching my computer.  I colored the fairy
using my Castle Arts Gold Oil colored pencils.  I next added
some die cut grass and little flowers in red and gold.  The 
toadstool has little beige pearls and rhinestones.  

I hope you can see this.  I made another set of wings and glued
them on top of the other ones to give the card some dimension.


On the inside I stamped and embossed the happy birthday and
used the arch again.  I had a leftover flower so I stuck it on the
arch.  

Well that is my project for the month of May.  Sunday is Mothers Day in the USA.  But first I will
be celebrating a milestone birthday on the 9th.  So I will probably celebrate all the rest of the week.  

So from my heart to yours,

Stay Healthy, Stay safe and know you are blessed!
