Christmas Card Challenge # 12 - Anything Goes.

Welcome to our monthly Anything Goes Challenge at Christmas Card Challenges!


Instead of a card I went for some tags:

Again...!

* * This is my second post today. Please, scroll down to read my post for C.R.A.F.T. Challenges * *
 
While waiting for colors to dry on a plaque I was painting for a customer, I had some time to make a card inspired by Cupcake Inspiration Challenge.
 
It's a color challenge inspired by gorgeous cupcakes:
 
 
Pink, white and black!
I LOVE them together, very elegant yet bright and cheery!
 
I immediately reached for my DCWV pad (All Dressed Up) which has exactly what I needed for this challenge: black, white and pink cardstocks!
 
And I made this:

 
Again...
I used my fav stamp ever from the Silly Monsters 2 stamp set available at Your Next Stamp.
I colored her in pink and black with a super gorgeous glittered bow!
 
I'd like she could be real!

Happy St. Pat's!

Although it's not a typical Italian Holiday, it's funny to work with St. Pat's images and today it's no exception.
 
I chose Little Leprechaun for my weekly inspiration post for 2 Cute Ink and I really enjoyed myself!
 
Here's my card:
 
 
Isn't he cute?
The background paper is from October Afternoon. I then added a sripe of patterned paper I found in my stash.
Quick and easy to color with my Copics and some gems to give some light and voilĂ , the card was done!
 
I LOVE him!
 
Don't forget we have a challenge going on: you can find all the details here on the challenge blog.

2 Cute Ink Challenge # 123 - Color Theme: Brown, Green and Blue.

I'm a bit behind schedule with my posts but I've been struggling with both Blogger and Etsy in these past few days.
 
Anyway, here I am with my card for the new challenge at 2 Cute Ink.
The theme is a color scheme: Brown, Green and Blue!

This is my card:

 
He is the a-do-ra-ble Pitbull Pup available in 2 Cute Ink shop on Etsy.
I colored him with Copics and mounted him on brown and green cardstock matching the bandana.
The card is more light blue than green, even if it seems definitely as green as the bandana!
 
We can't wait to see what you create with these great colors!
And don't forget to check our challenge blog for more inspiration and to see the winners of challenge # 122!

I've chosen Snowing Cupcakes from Imagine That! to make my Christmas Recipes book.
