7KCF Challenge - Anything Goes

Happy Wednesday!  We have a new challenge for you over on the 7KCF Challenge Blog.  Our challenge is "anything goes", so easy, right?


I used this sweet stamp Mouse On Bluebell from Wild Rose Studio.  Isn't this little mouse a cutie?  I colored the image with copics and colored pencils and use some Star Dust Stickles in the center of the flowers.  I don't use purple on my cards very often because I can never get a good photo of a card with purple.  Honestly, the bluebells in this photo perfectly match the dp.  How in the heck can my photo come out so totally different?  Am I the only person that's purple-challenged?  The butterfly is from the Rhone Butterfly Wings Die from Memory Box.  Be sure to stop by the 7KCF Challenge Blog to see what the rest of the team is sharing today!

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have a great day!

Let's Stir Up Some Fun!

Good morning friends!  Today I'm sharing a card using one of the sweet digi images from By LORi Designs.


This sweetie is Lollipop Lil' Chef and I colored her with copics.  I used a La-La Land Crafts die for the scalloped banner and also added a few sequins for a little bit of sparkle.  The sentiment is from an Inky Antics stamp set that I've had for ages.  You can find this cutie and all the rest of Lori's images over in her digi shop.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you "stir up some fun" today!

Hugs, Anita

Guest Designer at Art by Mi Ran

( ** Please scroll down for Your Next Stamp Fun Friday post ** )



Hello again!  This is my second post today.  A few weeks ago Mi Ran invited me to be a guest designer on the Art By Mi Ran Challenge Blog.  Well, I love her images so of course I was super excited and said YES! 


It was so hard to choose which image to color as they are all gorgeous!  But I finally decided on Heart Sign Digi and used my copics to color her.  I decided to go with a clean and simple card so that the focus is on the image.  Be sure to stop by the Art by Mi Ran Challenge Blog to see what her DT is sharing today. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs, Anita

Little Miss Muffet - Peggy Sue Hatter

( ** Please scroll down for the SugarPea Designs blog hop and my 7KCF posts ** )

Good afternoon.  I'm just popping in to share a card I made for Inspiration Thursday over in the Little Miss Muffet Facebook Group.


This gorgeous image is Peggy Sue Hatter from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I have to admit that the folds in her dress really intimidated me and I started to choose another image to color.  But I figured I might as well give it a try!  I'm sure I could benefit from some lessons on coloring folds but I'm not unhappy with my results.  I used some older dp from My Mind's Eye - I love this paper and thought the pattern was perfect for this lady! 

Be sure to check out the Little Miss Muffet Facebook Group for gorgeous inspiration from their DT, and you can find even more inspiration over on the Little Miss Muffet Challenge Blog

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day!

Hugs, Anita

Good morning.  Today I'm sharing a sweet image from Saturated Canary.




This cutie is Little Lady Bug but I decided to make her a little bumble bee instead!  I used the Memory Box Honeycomb Stencil to make my background paper.  I colored the image with colored pencils and gamsol ... no copics!  The butterfly is actually two separate dies.  I used the Rhone Butterfly Wings Die to cut the butterfly in black cardstock, and then I layered that on a vellum butterfly that I cut using the Effera Butterfly Wings Die.  I added a black seam binding bow and a small pearl on the butterfly.  And of course lots and lots of Glamour Dust on her wings and antennae.
