Eureka Stamps Challenge #60- Anything Goes

Last week my friend Kristie posted a beautiful card on her blog for a challenge at Eureka Stamps. (She is on the DT for Eureka, stop by and check her out at Kristie Kreates.)The theme was "Wings and things" when I saw the theme I wanted to play along and I knew exactly which stamp set I wanted to use!So, I got busy and stamped this image from Delightfully Spooky, I paper pieced her little dress and used some Copic Markers to color the image......... and then I got busy with other things and didn't get her finished before the deadline to submit her! My disappointment was brief, this morning  I was very excited to see the new theme for the challenge this week is "Anything Goes!!" Yeah, I get to submit this little darling after all! Yeah, for submitting for the first time!

Isn't she adorable?  And can you believe she is part of a Halloween set? I love fall, but Halloween is not my thing, unless it is "cute" Halloween. (Remind me that I don't like Halloween when I post my next card!! LOL It is another Halloween card, and not the cutsie kind. LOL)

Here is the completed card. I got a little bit carried away with the layers, don't you think? LOL

Deconstructed Sketch Challenge 116- Fall Splendor

With the kids back in school I am trying to get in the studio more. I did not realize just how much I missed being creative until I got my fingers inky, and snapped the cap off of a Copic marker! (I tell you, those Copic markers are addictive! You will see in just a bit.)

You can see the sketch HERE. I had been looking through my stamps trying to find some inspiration when I am across Fall Splendor by Inkadinkado. I had yet to ink it up, so it was a good one to start with. I then hopped over to Deconstructing Jen for some layout ideas, as always I was not disappointed! For my final piece of inspiration I I looked to the August Taylored Expressions KI kit for some designer paper and cardstock.

Once I had all of my inspiration, I was able to begin coloring my stamped image. Oh my goodness, I rediscovered my love of Copics AND coloring!
I am not lying when I tell you Copic markers are addictive, just look at how many I used on this one image.......

Yikes!! There are over 20 markers there! I like the angle of the card in this photo too, you can see that the image actually overhangs the front of my card. (The polka dots seen in the previous photo is the inside of the card,) I think it turned out pretty cute considering how rusty I was. LOL
I am looking forward to using more Copics, and ink, and stamps, and pretty paper.........well, you get the idea.
