Queen Elsa from Disney Movie FROZEN

This image was a challenge! Elsa's hair is a pale color for which I don't exactly have colors for.  I used my W's Copic Markers for a grayish look and shadows.  I chose the gray's tones because she has an icy look to her and the other lighter colors I have were to yellowish or light brownish.

Her skin was also a challenge.  The skin tones I have, even the lightest, was not white enough. So I went with E41 as a base color and E43 for shadows.  

Snowflakes have a very light blue tint.

I use Stickles Silver color for the glittery effects on her dress.  

Occasion for this card? My daughter's 16th birthday.

Skin: E41, E43, R20, E04, E09

Eyes: B000, B00, B02

Dress: B00, B02, BV00

Sparkle on Dress: Stickles from Tim Holtz Silver

I used Oval Die from My Favorite Things, Snowflake Die from Sizzix.  I usede an embossing folder for the impression of starts on background and used Tim Holtz blending tool to add a light blood shading around Elsa. 

I decided just to stamp a sentiment instead of making a label.  It looks a little unven because of the texture to the cardstock.

Sugar Pea Designs Challenge #2

Sugar Sketch #SPDSS02

I can't get enough of this sweet stamp my SugarPea Designs.  I wanted to play around with this one following the sketch given by the challenge and thought of doing the doggy and the clay pot 3D.  You may not be able to see it but I put dimensional sticky dots behind the clay pot and the doggy to make them stand out. I also used a butterfly from Stampin Up Papillon Potpourri and matching punch.

Make It Crafty New Challenge Entry

Well, another challenge!  Cannot resist them! This one is a the hard challenge where I needed to color on something else other than white cardstock.  This was a real pain to color but I am happy with the end result.  I only used Copics to color the image but the background was colored with Tim Holtz distress inks.

Oh, I am also playing around with making a new watermark for my images.  So they will change from time to time until I am happy with one of them.

Time for Tea Blog April Challenge

The images from this lovely site are so sweet!! I am entering this one for the first time.  The colors may seem a little odd but I wanted some colors to match the yellow on her crown.  You may need to click on the image to see what I did on the yellow flower.  I used vintage distress ink to age the flower a bit and for it not to be so yellow.

Aren't the butterflies pretty?!
