Penny's Challenge #551 Anything Goes using paper

 Hi all.  This is going to be short and sweet.  I caught a bug and feel yucky.  So Penny's Challenge #551 starts TODAY 7-19-2023.  Here are the sponsors.


Prize~~3 Digi images of the winners choice



Prize~~3 Digi images of the winners choice

2 of the most respected and wonderful sponsors I have worked with over the years.  Please go show some love and say a quick thank you.  They really do appreciate it.

On to my project.  I am using an image from Patties Creations.  Here is the link~Fairy-Gourd-House.  Here is what I came up with.

The background I found on the web.  I colored the gourd with
PrismaColored Pencils.  I love the red toad stools.  Add a spark
of color.  New Fairy rule in is made from a scrap. Base and a
square of red are recollections.  

Here is the inside and the new fairy rule.  Make the image
bigger if you can.  The new rule is great!


The back.

OK gang.  I am headed to my easy chair for some napping!  I must beat this crud.  So from a very congested heart,

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed!

Penny's Challenge #550 Anything Goes Using Paper

 Here I sit in my craftroom.  Which isn't unusual.  What is strange is I have 3 cats trying to fit into mama's lap.  This is July 2, 2023.  July 4th, 2023 is the USA's Independence Day.  The celebration of setting off M-80's like little boys has begun.  The rest of the summer the men of my neighborhood will set these off until it starts raining.  That's November and then it's time for New Years.  I absolutely HATE this time of year.  My kitties are terrorized.  I HATE Fireworks.  I like them on TV without sound.  Enough of a rant.  Let's see this fortnights sponsors!

Boy some very heavy hitters this challenge.  Love working with both.  Go show some love gang!

On to my post.  I used an image from All Dressed Up called Popsicle.  Here is the description.

The front of the envelope


Here she is!  Popsicle girl.  I colored her using my Prismacolor
Pencils.  (i tried to shade her). I have used a design by Sam
Colcott called Double Fan Fold Card.  Her website has 100's
of beautiful cards to try.  Go have a look.   I used Paper Accents
solid Aqua for the base.  The holographic paper is from the 
Dollar Store haul I made years ago.  I have used solid color 
foil paper in a aqua blue also.  That's the front.



This is the back.  You can see how the card stands up.  Here
I have used the blue holographic paper.  I have also put down
a layer of silver holographic and used a set from Creative
Memories called Party Hats from 2005.  Love how the card
turned out.

So that's it for this challenge.  I will be back in 2 weeks with another project.  Oh I almost forgot.  I wanted to show you my little visitor.  I have a large cat tree on the back deck.  Look who came to visit.

I named her Polly.  She is so tiny.  A baby possum.  So happy to have her visit.  The cats touched noses as a greeting.  Here is the pictures I took. 
 
She is just too cute!


So from my heart to yours,

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed!
