Monochrome!

Hey y'all!  It's time for a new Digistamps 4 Joy challenge....and we want to see monochrome projects using the inspiration photo below!

Aren't those pretty colors?  They're some of my favorites.  =D  Speaking of favorites, I was able to use one of my favorite Digistamps 4 Joy images for this challenge:

Lil Dragon! Isn't he just the cutest!?!?  There's also a version with more detailed scales here.  My card came out looking a little more teal than aqua and turquoise, but I think that's ok.  It was as close as I could get!  =D  The papers are from DCWV, and the ribbon is from my stash.   I also got to use one of my favorite die cuts for the frame.  I like how much room it gives for an image.  A lot of the Nestabilities don't give a lot of room, or at least the ones I own don't.  LOL I typed the quote on Word.  I can't remember where I first heard the quote.  I've seen it on t-shirts and bumper stickers, and it just stuck with me.  

Ok, now you've seen my project, head on over to the Digistamps 4 Joy challenge blog to see what the rest of the ladies came up with!  Thanks for stopping by!!

A Very Tiddly Christmas

Hey y'all!  I've got a few new cards to share with you.  =D

This next card is with a brand new stamp (to me anyway)....Irish Christmas Fae by Crafts and Me.  Oooh, I just love this image!

Isn't she just gorgeous?!?  You know how I love everything Irish.  =D Image colored with Copics, and a Spica marker for the wings.  The papers are from DCWV.  The snowflake border is a border punch by Martha Stewart.

Priscilla Styles:  Midnight Madness Sketch 130

One last card for this post...not Christmas, though.  As some of you know, the newest installment of the Twilight Saga movies was released in the US a couple of days ago.  I do love the books and movies...but I always seem to be a fan of the bad guys.  What can I say?  Gotta love James and Victoria.  =D  Therefore, I chose to use Pixie Dust Studio's Victoria for their newest challenge: Twilight Inspired Red, Black and White/Silver....add Sparkle!

Victoria was colored with Copics and a silver marker.  Skin was covered with Stickles.  (Vampires glitter, you know.  LOL) The papers are from DCWV's Immortal Love paper collection.  Love Bites sticker is from Marah Johnson's Breathless collection, which was inspired by the Twilight movies.  Bats, ribbon and gems are from my stash.

Whew!  Hope you enjoyed my cards today!  I should have a couple more coming up shortly.  =D
