Anything Lavinia Challenge

Armed with the fab papers from We Are 3 and Baubles and trees from Lavinia, I took the plunge into making some fantasy-themed cards...started having a lot of fun - this is my fourth card! 

This card is a single-layer card.  I started with a card base from Fantasy Scapes (on Microsoft Word.)  Then I inserted and resized a Bauble to fit inside the moon.  Word easily allows you to format images easily - for the Bauble, I created a reflection. Next I added some Fairy Fir Trees.  Then all I had to do was print.  

I have to admit - I had fun! Now, if you want to see some real talent, check out the other entries in the Anything Lavinia Challenge #29 here. There's another four days to get your entries in - join in the fun.

Splitcoast Stampers Featured Stamper Challenge

This week at Splitcoast Stampers, the Featured Stamper is pspapercrafts. I rested on a clean and simple card with a tree as a focus - as I had one Fairy Fir Tree left from my most recent makes. I also used some scraps from the Fantasy collection - the tree is paper pieced with some Fantasy paper as well. I added a Number Birthday sentiment, also from We Are 3.

         

A Special Fairy Card

I'm very excited for Bonnie who now has digital papers carried at Lavinia World Store. The newest Fantasy papers are also sold in the We Are 3 Etsy Store. I made this card using the new Fantasy papers and digital stamps from Lavinia. 

I used one of the adorable Baubles from Lavinia. She's printed with a background of one of the Fantasy papers, and I cut Fairy Trees from the same paper, as well as black.

The matting behind the bauble is from Monica's Creative Room...layers popped for dimension.

Gatefold Card for Paper Ala Mode Challenge

It's Saturday and time for a new challenge at Paper Ala Mode at The Outlawz.  Our theme this week is Gatefold cards.  As it turns out, my card did not turn out as well as my vision. This is how it turned out.

 This sweet SheepSki Designs is Hello.  The sentiment is from We Are 3's Sending You collection.  I colored the image with Gimp.  A freebie from Love SVG was used for the Gatefold circle.  Papers from Paper Studio are from my stash.

Join us this week for our Gatefold cards Challenge at Paper Ala Mode.  I'd like to see what you make!

Ursula Unicorn by We Are 3

Today I am here to share a card I created using Cupcake - Ursula Unicorn from We Are 3.

I have always found it hard to color images, especially with Copics.  I've tried them all - Copics, Spectrum Noir, pencils, expensive, pencils, watercolors, H2Os - I keep hinting at my family to surprise me on my birthday with Chameleons - but I haven't been successful there, either!  Recently I updated my computer and made it my goal to concentrate on my coloring with the extra time I now have - no longer waiting for my computer to do its thing.  Over the years I've moved from Copics - to pencils - to Photoshop - to Gimp (now that Photoshop requires a subscription).  

I am having a grand old time!!!!  My main goal for this image was to get a "no-line" look - and I am so happy with the results!  I especially love my ears and horn - and my snout, too.  I was about to quite when I messed up the star - but suddenly realized it looked like a flower, so that's the direction I took.

For my card background, I used papers from the Fantasy and Dandelion Wishes collections.

                    

We Are 3 - Fantasy

This is a card for We Are 3's August Release.  I used digital papers from the Fantasy Collection and a sentiment from the Special Wishes Collection.  End result, I think, is very pretty.
