~THANK YOU~ Use a Digi and Ribbon - 3 Girl JAM Challenge

HELLO Sweet Blends

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I  have lists upon lists in front of me at all times.  One would think, I would be "On The Ball" a little more than I was today.  I inadvertently missed my scheduled posting day at the 3 Girl JAM Challenge Blog.
OOPSIE DAISY!
Thank goodness Julie doesn't like to see head's roll, because mine would have went for one heck of ride!
My apologies for missing my deadline.

The UP SIDE to my Blunder?
I was forced to stop everything I was doing and make some time to play in my craftroom!!

A midst all the exciting things that are in full swing with the Pinque Peacock Blog and the Pinque Peacock Shop, my crafting time for fun is few and far between.  So, I am thankful for the "push" of motivation Julie offered me to post for 3 Girl JAM today.

The current 3 Girl JAM Challenge is to
Use a Digi and some Ribbon

Sassy Studio Designs is a Prize Sponsor
~~~the winner will get 4 digis of their choice from Sassy Studio Designs
and
a gift certificate for $10...wowza...to shop at 3 Girl JAM~~~
This challenge will end on May 23rd

I have had this wonderful Digital Coloring Page from an artist I admire a lot.  It is called "Sapphire Night" by Carissa Rose Art.  She is so talented and self taught.  Quite an inspiration for any Newbie Artist that is trying their hand at dabbling in new forms of expression.  I happen to be lucky enough to own one of her Original Pieces along with some new Prints that I just recently added to my collection.
So, my card is a Tribute "Thank You" to Carissa, to let her know, Her Art makes me quite Happy!

I printed the image on kraft cardstock and colored it using my Prisma Color Pencils.  I fussy cut around the edge to give the image more depth against the background of Gold (Co'ordinations Pearls) and Purple (from my stash) card stock.  I used a corner punch on the purple mat.  I used my Peacock feather Embossing Folder on the gold mat.  Another hand punch to place behind my small flower and a corner punch on the sentiment tag.  Sentiment is by Unity Stamp Co. (inked and heat embossed).

The large and small flowers on my card are Elegant Florals which I have handmade using the Ever So WONDERFUL 3 Girl JAM Crinkle Ribbon.

 The large flower is a Loop de Loop using Gold Crown and Dress White.

The small flower is a Pleated Petal using Sterling Silver.  I simply added a bit of Purple and Gold Ink to distress the ribbon a bit.  This ribbon has so many possibilities.  It really is a MUST HAVE for your Crafty Stash.  A little bit goes a long way, but I must warn you - IT'S SO DELIGHTFUL, many have been known to become Addicted!  Just Sayin'  LOL

These Handmade Elegant Florals, and MANY MORE embellishments for crafting, are available for purchase in the Pinque Peacock Shop - HERE!

I also added a little extra flair for her Already Dazzling Hairstyle.  I added a 3/4" flat back Peacock Silk (how could I not?) Fabric Covered Button which can also be purchased at the Pinque Peacock Shop.

I hope you feel inspired by my card today!

Unity Stamp Co. WCMD Challenge #7 - Coloring

I have been so super  excited

to try to find time to play in more of the 

World Card Making Day 

challenges with Unity Stamp Co.

Well, I not only found the time today to do just that, 

I also found time to 

try out a new coloring technique.

A short while ago, Unity was having one of their

Mega Awesome Sales and I just HAD

to snag up on a bundle of Phyllis Harris goodies!

Here is the stamp I played with for my card today.

It is called 

Happy Fall Baby

The theme for the WCMD Challenge #7 was Coloring .

I was really eager to try the technique I "am learning" on how to
color with Prisma Pencils from a 

fabulous Artist on the UnityTV YouTube Channel.

Her name is Danielle Daws and here is the link to her video tutorial 
SEP 24, 2012, UnityTV Episode #79,

Card Creating Tuesday - My Angel

Hey there sweet Blends.  

Today I get to share 

My  Design Team Member

project with you

for

My Cricut Craft Room's
Card Creating Tuesday


The theme today
is

Guardian Angels or Anything with Wings

For my card today,
I decided to use a few cartridges

to create an Angel since none of the

cartridges I own, have any already available.

I used the following for my card:

Playtime Cricut Cartridge

Graphically  Speaking Cricut Cartridge

&

Serenade Cricut Cartridge

 And we can't forget the need

to add some pink to our projects since

My Cricut Craft Room

is 

Now through Mid October!!

I started with the Playtime cartridge and cut

out the cute little fairy girl-Kim at 4" on all layers.

I then cut the profile of one of  the Butterfly images 

from the Serenade cartridge at 1 3/4".  I cut out 2 images, total.

One normal and one flipped image.  I used these as my wings.

The sentiment MY angel is from the Graphically Speaking

cartridge and I cut it at 1 1/2".  The capital letters "MY" were 

too large for my card once I placed my angel on it.

So I grabbed out my Webster Pages little storytellers

 alphas for the word "my".

Other Products that I used were:

• Stickles (Waterfall and Glam Pink)
• Paper by Susan K Weckessser
• Kraft Cardstock
• corner rounder
• Prismacolor Pencils
• White Gel Pen

Here is the full image

of my finished card!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Your comments always 

brighten my day!

DT Members have created for you to see.

Remember to

Keep
Crafting
