MADE WITH COTTAGE CUTZ DIES

just a quickie here to share a santa and a penguin i pieced together using this cottage cutz dies. i bought these dies and a few others when joann had them at 50% off. i thought it was a great deal.

the santa took took a bit of time to put together. 

lulu was really needy that day. i was trying to rush and forgot to add the tree that comes with this die, grr! lol.

the penguin was done fast.

i used white cardstock and used alcohol markers to colored them in.

i made one red and one blue.

i wanted to make the santa for most of my xmas cards but i was short on time. that was when the snowman showed up, lol.

i used one of joy clair stamps for the sentiment "good cheer".

these dies are so much fun. they reminded me when i first started crafting with sizzix dies, way before moving to cricut.

well, and this is it.

thanks so much for stopping by!

PLAYING ALONG WITH CHALLENGES... a happy easter lamb

hello bloggers, 

this lamb digital image is a free digi from shelly's images. shelly was our whimsical designs sponsor a few weeks back. i used this bear on that project. 

anyway, shelly has this lamb as a freebie for you to use in this challenge. below is some info..but you must go to her site to get the complete guidelines, i would hate to mislead you in any way. please, 

click here to go to shelly's blog 

highlighted is the main info for now: copied and pasted from shelly's blog

**But, by accepting the free digi you are promising to submit a project using Spring Lamb digi stamp by linking it below.  Projects must be submitted by March 31st, 2013 at midnight CST.  So this challenge is truly on the honor system. ** 

and now, without any further delay...

 my take for this challenge, using the pretty lamb shelly let us have for free.

Happy Easter

4.25" tall

i used the shall we dance cricut cartridge for the card shape: medallion 1 feature and image #50 on the overlay. the papers are from pink paislee: spring jubilee. 

using the spectrum markers i colored the sweet lamb and its flower garland, i then cut it out (as best as i could since i did not do any fuzzy cutting, my hands were not feeling too good) and mounted it in the front of my card.

the so pretty banner is a stamp from 7 gypsies and the happy easter is from the g studios dollar stamps.

i am so happy how this turned out. i love the eyes on this lamb. they look so real.

LUCKY GIRL... a digital image from our latest release

 hola muchachas,

i have been practicing the coloring and bits by bits i am getting there. this week acm has the spectrum noirs on sale 50% off and i went i got some :D

so far, i can see they blend well on my watercolor paper from strathmore but i definitely need to learn how to shade, lol. the hair on my lucky girl was not that lucky, lmbo.

 this lucky girl is from the newest release at SK DIGIS and i chose her to my practice with the spectrum noirs since the dress needed a bit more coloring than what i am used to.

Lucky Girl

( i might make a tag from it)

2.75" wide x 4" tall

---you do know how much i love bright, rich colors but i must use softer hues for my coloring until i learn this coloring business (if i ever do)---, i believe it simplifies the trauma, lol

lucky girl has glassy eyes (done with glossy accents) because she did not sleep well last night, she came back from the oscars really-really late. hehe

 another view  to see the stickles and, the snapshot (polaroid) frame with the stamped background and, a close view of the hair, lol....you can see i need lots of practice in the shadowing department, hehe.

and on this last pic (you can not see it because it is white) but i used washi tape, and i stamped on it the shamrocks and sentiment. i did not want to stamp right on the frame just in case i had trouble but i did not. i used a dye ink for it and it did not smear. actually, i like it a lot...it was not my intention to have it transparent, but it worked. i really like how my lucky girl turned out despite the blotchy hair :D

Supplies Used:

digital image:     sk digis (lucky girl)

patterned paper:     dear lizzy (neopolitan)

white cardstock:     georgia pacific

background stamp:     unity stamps (jars of love 3)

sentiment and shamrocks:     g-studio clear stamp

inks:     g-studio (yellow); versafine (black); clearsnap/ancient page (pine)

markers:     spectrum noir

cricut cartridge:      any cartridge with a rectangle will work. i used my gypsy to position one rectangle inside the other with the measurements i needed for my project. 

so happy you stopped by to see my project. 

we have our weekly challenge going on at sk digis and if you want to participate, you can click here for all the details.

see you on wednesday!
