Our designers are chosen for their character and personality, as well as, their beautiful designs. We work hard to give you our very best. Thank you so much for having us as your sponsor this week.

TSB was very generous to let the team ink up some cute digis. Do you ever wonder how fairies dry their fairy outfit? Well, take a look here...

Isn't that the cutest laundry line you've ever seen??? You can find this digi image here, and a few other laundry lines too! I tried a couple new techniques today... first the glitter on the wings and the fairy dust bag are done with this technique shared by JayJay. Then I finally tried the cloud masking technique for the background... it's been soooooo long since I first saw this technique, I forgot who has a tutorial on it. I'm sure one or two will pop up if you "google" it. ;D

So get on over to LC blog to see more inspiration from my awesome team mates, and join our challenge to win yourself some adorable digis from The Stamping Boutique!

Make it work...

Today at Lollipop Crafts is Sponsor Spotlight on Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps. There's more info on this wonderful company over at LC. For my card I chose the adorable Christie Angel...

The paper is from my old stash that I never used, can't remember who it's from, but everytime I see this pretty paper I couldn't make it work for me. So finally, I colored my image to match, found a sketch to follow, kept it simple, and wah-la! Like it?

I've had this digi for a while now, but never had a chance to color her until now. But I think I'm in LUV!!!

She is adorable and her outfits are so fun to color and the newest release is super cute! I'll have to try Luka next! Both Marci and Luka is available here.

THINK SPRING!!

This week I used Ching-Chou Kuik's Dance of Butterfly from Sweet Pea Stamps, which you can find here.

You Take The Cake...

Is it Saturday already? How time flies when you're having fun!!  Today I have a card for the Tiddly Inks Challenge. It's a sketch challenge designed by the fabulous Betty Boo.



This adorable cutie and sentiment are from the set called Cherry on Top. I love the cupcakes, but have a tough time coloring them! Just can't seem to get it to blend right. Maybe it's time to get more copics in the same color groups.  hehee!

I added some swirls on the bottom corner. Wish I had some "real" pearl swirls, but I don't...so this is drawn with Sakura Stardust Clear pen, then added Lavender Lace liquid pearls. The pearls came out lighter than I wanted... you know what that means... gotta get more colors!
