Here's a beautiful little FREE Birdie image from the AMAZINGLY, ARTISTICLY talented Susanne Rose! When I saw a mixed media project she'd created using this little one I knew I had to have her too! So Susanne sent me HERE to download her for FREE!

Now once I had that little file on my computer, I couldn't wait to get out my Prisma Color Pencils and start coloring. It's an easy image to color and I "flew" through the process!

Today I am featuring this little cutie on my creation for Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #148. Enjoy!

Just in case you'd like to play along with the sketch challenge at Freshly Made below is the sketch.

Hello Again!
Here's a lovely card I made. I started this card at midnight and here it is 1:41 a.m. But my dear friend Monica Reeck invited me to play along with the challenge at Card Maniac this week because she is a guest designer. So Monika, this one's for you!

The theme for the challenge is FLOWERS! So I colored with Copics on this lovely Lily Elf from AuroraWings.com. Mitzi has some really beautiful images and they are digitals you can purchase and color ASAP! I love that. I'm sort of an instant gratification gal.

Any hoo, I sure hope you like my flower entry.

Stamping Challenges #6 - Below is my card and their sketch.

For my card I used Whisper White cs as my blank. Then I used some blue shimmer paper for my matte. The dsp is from Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper Beyond the Garden. The scalloped border is from Stampin' Up! Simply Scrappin' (I can't find the name). Twine is from Stampin' Up! in Calypso Coral. Ink is Stampin' Up! Ballet Blue & Pink Passion. The stamps are Stampin' Up! Everything Elenor, Well Scripted and Four Frames.


Thanks For Looking

Freshly Made Sketch Challenge #70.

Here's my take on the sketch...

To make my card, I found this flower I had stamped and colored at my friend's house. It was hiding in my stash. I fussy cut it and mounted it with dimensionals onto a piece of Calypso Coral cs. I used a Spellbinders die from A-2 Fancy Ribbon Threader. My sentiment is from a retired hostess set from Stampin' Up! Because I Care. The fabric brad is also Stampin' Up! The floral print cs is DCWV glitter page from the Rustic stack. I colored my flower with Stampin' Up! markers.

Be sure and check out the lovely projects created by the Freshly Made design team.

Sweet

Color Throw Down #179 Poppy Parade, Crumb Cake, and Blushing Bride. This is a very CAS card, just the 3 colors of cardstock and one piece of double sided dsp! The flower is chip board that I colored with my markers. I think I got it to match up pretty close to the colors required. The Color Throw Down challenges have become some of my most favorite to play. If you'd like to play too just follow the link in this post.

Warm Hello

Warm Hello - Don't these color just scream warmth!? I certainly think so. Thses are the colors for the Color Throw Down this week - Summer Sun, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze and Very Vanilla. I know I added a little green in there but what is a flower without some leaves?I really like these colors combined together. They remind me of Fall, my favorite time of year. Hope you like them too!
