Purr-fection Always!

Happy Friday! Are you ready for Challenge #20 at DeliciousDoodles? We have a spectacular one and perfect for this winter season. Our theme for this week’s challenge is “All You Need is LOVE,” just in time for Valentine’s Day too.

We want to see any kind of project, but it must have the theme of LOVE. We would LOVE to see you use some of Teri’s beautiful images, but it is not necessary. If you do use a Delicious Doodles image, you can enter twice and you will be spotlighted next week.

For my Delicious Doodles inspiration I colored on of my favorite DD images, “Just Purr-fect.” I am a cat lover and this beautiful image spoke to me.

My art card is very clean and simple, or very clean and simple for me. “Just Purr-fect” was colored with Copics and then layered on red and white cardstock. The designer paper is from my stash, as is my one flower and ribbon. My one die cut is a butterfly from Spellbinder’s Les Papillion’s, another favorite die.  I used a little Stickles on the flower and butterfly. See, I told you…”clean and simple.”

I would like to enter “Just Purr-fect” in the following challenges:

Crafter's Digital Art Center - Anything Goes
Whimsical Designs – All about Love

The Paper Shelter – Anything Goes

Digi Stamps 4 Joy – Anything Goes

Craft Us Crazy – Love or Are You Seeing the Color Red

 

I also wanted to take a moment to let you know that Teri has created some wonderful new Gothic papers, frame, and corners. This is a sample of the Gothic Papers, just gorgeous, if I say so myself.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you join us at Delicious Doodles for Challenge #20. After you enter, head on over to our Facebook group and our CDAC group, and show us your little piece of art.

Delicious Doodles Challenge No. 16

Welcome to our last Friday of 2012. Can you believe it? I reached 59 this year, and I swear that the years go by faster the older I get. Even with that said, I still look forward to the new 2013.

Delicious Doodles Design Team has Challenge #16 ready for you. Our theme this week is “Out with the Old.” The meaning behind this is maybe you want to use some of your new supplies, or maybe colors other than our traditional red and green Christmas colors. If you use a Delicious Doodles image you can enter twice. You never know who will be spotlighted next week. All the directions for entering once or twice are here.

My little piece of art is going to be my last Christmas card for 2012. I have used old and new on my projects. The old is my designer paper, cardstock, crackle paint, inks, and crystals. The new items are my image and dies.

The image that I colored with my Copics and Spica pens is Teri’s latest image, Queen of Holly. She is so hauntingly beautiful. I love how she is framed with holly.

My die cut embellishments came next. I inserted Queen of Holly matted image into the Holly Motifs die cut. The Holly Branch die was cut and I added some crackle paint and ink for dimension.

The supplies that I used are:

• Copics: Skin-e000, e11, r20; Lips-r20, 422; Dress-e50, e51, e53, e57; Branches-e43, e47; Holly branch-e43, e47; Holly leaves-yg13, yg17, yg21, g29; Holly berries-r29, Spica red, white paint pen; Hair-c1, c3, c5, c7, c9, white Prismacolor pencil.
• Dies: Spellbinders Holly Motifs; Tim Holtz Alterations Sizzix Holly Branch.
• CS: SU Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso.
• DP: My stash.
• Other: DI Clear Rock Candy Crackle Paint; DI Black Soot; red crystals from my stash.

 

I would like to enter Queen of Holly in the following challenges:

Simply Create – Anything Goes

Sarah Hurley Challenge – Christmas

Paper Play Challenges – Out with the old, in with the new
