Penny's Challenge 'Anything Goes Using Paper'

 Here in the states yesterday was a national holiday.  Juneteenth.  Not being very well versed in this particular holiday I educated myself somewhat.  I have a lot more to learn.  But since this is not a holiday that I am used to celebrating, I am a day behind.  I thought today was Monday.  Well tonight I realized and got my supergirl pants on and started commenting and writing.  So if you see any mistakes, please forgive me.  Let's see who our sponsors are.

Dr. Digi's House of Stamps

Prize~~2 images of the winners choice

Mirtillamente Digi stamps and Papers

Prize~~2 single images of the winners choice

Love these two sponsors.  Lovely images, clean lines and just plain fun to make a paper something out of.  Go show some love and say a big thank you also!

Here is my card I have used from Mirtillamente Digi Stamps and Papers called Christmas Dragon.

Here is my little dragon.  I just fell in love with her.  I colored
the image using Prismacolored Pencils.  Then the image was
cut and backed with purple card.  The presents are also colored
using my pencils but I also used neon highlighters.  Hey it 
worked.  The Merry Christmas was foiled using dark blue.  The
card base is from a Crafter's Companion kit I purchased in 2018. 

Just another look

Here is the inside.  It's very rare when I leave the inside of 
my card blank.

The back

So I think I did pretty good for forgetting about the challenge.  (not really).  Make sure you visit Penny's Challenge for another chance to win a prize in 2 weeks.

So from my heart,

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know you are blessed.

Penny's Challenge #548 Anything Goes using Paper

 Hello everyone!  I have decided that this year I was going to keep ahead of my projects that needed to be created.  I have a lot of sewing to get done.  One project is mug rugs for Christmas presents.  I will show you the results in the coming weeks.  On to the new Penny's Challenge.  Here are our sponsors.

All Dressed Up

Prize~~2 digi images of the winners choice

Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps

Prize~~2 single images of the winners choice

Wow!  How lucky is the design team.  2 sponsors that just tick all the boxes.  Please go show appreciation and leave a little love kids.

I can't tell you how excited I was when I got to design with Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps for this challenge.  Her images are exquisite.  I am also glad that I had the time to devote to coloring it.  My image is called The Tender Angie.  Here is what I came up with.

Here is the envelope that I made.  This paper is from
the G45 collection called Voyage Beneath
 the Seas c2016.  The sea shells I found
 a long time ago at a garage sale.

One of the very first things I do when starting a new
project is try to figure out colors.  And when that fails,
I wing it.  Like this one.  If you want to know what
colors I used just email me. I wanted her to look like
 a fantasy.  So I used:  Prismacolor Pencils, Arteza
Pencils, Shuttle Art Alcohol Markers, Prang Pencils
 and any other medium I had available.  The Hot
Pink color and the light green skin set off the
rest of this mermaid perfectly.  I used card stock from
 Paper House for the base. The pink is a scrap.  I
found a cartoon image of the sea for the background
 and sat her on the bottom.  I had some Sea Life
stickers and used them.  Cut the corners from one of
my big dies for corner decorations. I made sure to
blend the color transitions very well.

Just a real simple sentiment.  Never know when
you might need a card such as this.

So that is my new project for Penny's Challenge #548.  You will have until 6-19-23 to upload your creation.

So for now from my heart to yours,

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are very blessed!
