Pearls Anyone??? Challenge at The Paper Nest Dolls......

          SO we are heading into our fourth challenge over at the Paper Nest Dolls Challenge blog. I am SUPER EXCITED about this challenge.....If you love pearls (and what girl doesn't?) then you will LOVE our newest challenge....... bring us your projects dazzled with pearls. We would love to see what you come up with and look forward to seeing your creations.
          I chose to use Bubble Bath Ellie for this challenge because 1) She is adorable and 2) you can be really creative with this stamp... or at least I think. You can find her here.
          So here is my card.... let me know what you think.... =)

          So with this card, the base is a 5.5X5.5" square made from Gina K Kraft card stock. I used Anthentique "Journey" Collection. I also used pale blue card stock to frame the image. I used the Spellbinders Hectagon shapes. The image was printed on Make it Crafty paper. The embellishments I used Mona Lisa cheese clothe. I also used Prima Say it in Pearls in Swirls White. I distressed the layers using the Tim Holtz distressing tool and Walnut Stain ink. I also used my favourite Liquid Pearls in Baby Blue and White Opal.
          The image was inked with Copic markers. The skin was inked with E000, E00, E11 and R20. The hair is done with E50, E51, E53 and E55. The bathtub was coloured with C0, C1, C3 and C5. I did some blending with 0. The bubbles were coloured with B000, B00, BG01 and BG02. The soap was coloured with E40, 41 and 42. Her little headband was inked with RV10, Rv11 and RV13. he remaining was coloured with YR04, Y16, RV21, G24 and B02. I also added the polka dots to the headband and the marking around the card with a Signo Uniball white gel pen.

Pretty Pastel's Challenge........

          It has been a long while since I entered a challenge on any blog as of late. I just can't seem to get my stuff together to get anything posted. This card was actually made for a family of a special little girl that we lost last week. Her favourite colour is purple. She was a kind hearted spirit and I will miss her dearly..... Heaven has gained another angel....
        

          The digital stamp that I used was from the ever so talented Krista from Saturated Canary. This little cutie's name is Butterfly Baby and she is absolutely adorable, you can find her here. I fell in love with her the very first moment I saw her and had to have her.... She is printed on Make It Crafty paper. I used the circle spellbinders to cut the image out. Her skin is coloured with E000, E00, E11 and R20. Her hair is coloured in E50, E51, E53 and E55. The sleeper and wings are coloured in V000, V12, V15, RV32, and RV34. Her eyes are inked with BG000 and BG01. I added some dots with a Signa Uniball white gel pen and added some sparkle with Diamond Stickles...

          The card base is a 5.5X5.5" and is made of Gina K Kraft card stock. I wrapped the edges in some ribbon that I coloured with V12. The background paper is Gina K card stock in Mother of Pearl. Unfortunately I am unsure of the patterned paper but I know it is Hero Arts. The flowers are from Wild Orchids. The butterfly charm was bought at a bead store in Victoria, BC. I also added a "made for you" heart charm which I bought from Miriam's Crafting Supplies. The pearls are from an unknown source. I also coloured a lace paper doily in V12 and used it as a frame for the image. This card was a pleasure to make, although under sad circumstances. I hope it brings a little warmth to the family who have lost.....

Hope you enjoy xo.
