Happy Wednesday everybody,
I hope you all are doing well!!
It's time for a new challenge over at
Creative Inspirations
which is a seasonal theme:
AT THE BEACH!!
And since I am already quite tardy,
let me just get down to business:

This is Finna the Summer Fairie by the fabulous Mo Manning, she's printed on Neenah cardstock and coloured with my Prismacolor pencils and baby oil, I free-handed the beach-esque background (as if you couldn't tell). I am a little disapointed with my pancake looking sandy shores, so moving right along, don't want to focus on the negatives, I used a white Sakura jelly pen to add highlights to Finnas hair, the wings and waves were Stickled in Diamond.

The papers are Basic Grey, the sentiment is Motivet, flowers are a medley of stash items and treasures that the darling Elise sent me, thank you dear. The scene idea and the wonderful floral lace came from the wonderful Sue, she always inspires me when I am in a pickle.

Time for some challenges, me thinks.Cupcake Craft Challenge Summer Delights

Well, when you start creating your summery creations this week, I hope you will keep our BEACH challenge at Creative Inspirations in mind :)
Take Care, wear sunblock,

Hello Blogger Buddies,
I hope you've had a fabulous weekend.
I stayed true to the namesake and
took part in a bit of Midnight Madness
last night and finished up today,
and here is what I've come up with:

Sort of a tricky sketch, I thought,
but after I actually started putting it together
instead of just thinking about it,
it was rather enjoyable,
like a math project for me,
trying to line up grommets and measurements...
Here's the MMSC sketch this week:

And I've also used Dutch Dare's
colour inspiration to muse off of:

In addition to those,
I will pop this in over at Stamp Something,
as their challenge is to use our favorite embellishments,
as opposed to keeping them around to gawk over perhaps?
As of late, I am loving the grommets
and organza ribbon, and as of... always,
love love love pearls!!
And of course the MS punch, who doesn't love that?
If you can, I hope you'll hop over
to see what these amazing design teams
have provided to inspire us,
along with the delicious prizes on offer.
For my card, in addition to the favorite things,
I used a freebie Mo image called Sinatra.
I am used to my cats treating my hand
like that ball of yarn, those meanies!!
I've used Prismacolors and left the image
to look "brushstroked" which goes against
everything typical, I like to blend blend blend.
The DP is My Minds Eye
and I had my first romp with this little
Smart Stitch toy I got for dirt cheap
at a scrap-yard sale.
As you may notice, I'll need some practice, lol.
Nevermind, don't look...
Thanks for taking the time to visit me,
it's truly appreciated!!
Stephanne
