Happy Monday Sweet Friends My goodness it's the final day of October and this year is almost over.  Time passes way to quickly. Today I am sharing my Design Team Card for the Classic Design Team Challenge that is now underway through November 27th.  Our sponsor this month is the talented artist Morgan Fitzsimmon owner of Morgan's Art World on Facebook. The image I am using is called "Orchis Last Enchanter."  I think she's a gorgeous image and to be quite honest I was intimidated to color her.  I desperately wanted to do her justice.  It took several attempts at coloring her before I was pretty happy with the results.  She's really a great image to work with and she's actually one of my most favorite digi's.   I made some flowers with one of my flower die cuts.  I absolutely love these flowers and will be making many more in the future. Here is the link to Morgan's Facebook Group: Morgan's Art World   I hope you will che...

Happy Happy Sunday Sweet Friends Today I am sharing a DT card I made yesterday that was just a hoot to create.  I had so much fun and love how it turned out.  If you haven't seen Annabel's adorably sweet images of Kitty's you just might want to check them out.  The links are below: This image can be found here: Home is Where The Cat Is   (on Etsy) and here are the links to her FB page and her Etsy Shop: Eeker's on Etsy   (Etsy Shop) Knitty Kitty Digi's on Facebook I really wanted to do something silly with this card.  These images just make me smile and I think it kind of brings out the child in me.  I wanted to use different colors to color everything and yet have it all be coordinated as much as possible.  I used a brick stencil to create the background and wanted it to be light enough to help the images pop out more.  I created the asphalt using several different shades of gray.  The colors I used are:...

Happy Monday Sweet Friends I hope you had a FABULOUS weekend.  Today I am sharing my DT card using this adorable new image from Artist Sandra Caldwell.  This cutie is called "Hattie Chick" and the link is below: Hattie Chick #1125 BabyCakesDigi's and Designs on Etsy To create this card I used Scallops Die Cuts by Little B Company.  Awesome die cuts by the way.  I colored her with Copics and Spectrum Noirs, used some Rub-on's as well as some fussy cutting.  I used the black background just to show the actual shape of the card.  And I must confess I think I used the die cut the wrong way around the outer edge.  Still  makes me smile and I didn't change anything. Spectrum Noir Colors:  CT2, 3, 4 Copic Colors:   E35, 55, 99 RV02, 04, 06 YR04, 07  I also used a White Gel Pen (Signo - Uni-ball Broad) I hope she brings you a smile as she does me.
