A very 'Tiny' challenge...

Hi everyone! Today I'm posting another card as a guest designer over at Tiddly Inks! Today's challenge is called Tiny Tiddly Ones!!! Make a mini card(s) for any little one(s) in your life!

For my card I used 'You Are On My Mind' I just love the big luscious pigtails on this little cutie! I printed her out adding the sentiment from my computer onto some Beckett Expression paper. I used my copics to colour her up and had to use my good old stand by hair colour. (YR21,12,14,18,E37 and a touch of E49).

To keep the card small I cut around the image as closely as possible so it would fit into the second largest size of Lacey Squares Nestabilities die. I added some stardust stickles to the hearts in her hair and added a little ribbon and button treatment! The finished product is roughly the size of a standard post-it note. Very small and cute!


So hop on over Tiddy Inks Challenge blog and check out the adorable samples and join in on the fun!


Another huge thanks again to Christy and the gang for having me as a guest designer for August! I love working with these images and it was great to be part of your wonderful group!


Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Have a great week!

Tiddly Inks Tuesday Challenge!!!

I'm super excited to be posting today as a Guest Designer over at Tiddly Inks!!!

I was sooo sooo ecstatic and honoured when Christy (the super sweet and amazingly talented mind behind all the adorable and amazing creations you see in Tiddly Inks Shop) asked me to be a guest designer. I have been a huge fan of Christy's artwork for years now and I am over the moon to be playing along with their challenge this week! Every Tuesday a new challenge is posted and the winner is announced on the Friday! There is a weekly prize of $10.00 worth of images from the Shop! And to keep you on your toes a NEW image is released every Tuesday!



So, with out further adieu, this week's challenge is to make a


TEACHER THANK YOU CARD!



For my card I chose to use the adorable digi image School Girl



I printed the digi School Girl image onto Becket Expression paper and coloured her up with my Copic Markers. I used my Nestabilities Ovals to cut her out and framed her in with some pink and blue larger ovals. I used some scrap designer paper I had in my stash and added some white scalloped border edges and finished it off with some crocheted flowers from Stampin Up and a brad from my stash! The sentiment was also printed off from my computer. I think this will make a very cute Thank You Teacher card and will have to tuck it away until next June rolls around!



I hope you join in on the fun this week and get a jump start on those Teacher Thank You cards that we are always scrambling to finish up at the last minute! Check out the Challenge Blog and the Shop (you'll need a while to take in all the cuteness!) and I hope to see your creation!



I just want to take the time again, to Thank Christy for having me as a guest designer for the month. I loooove working with your images, they always make me smile and you can't put a price tag on that!!!



Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Have a great week!
