ABC Challenge - B is for Bugs and Bows

Today is the day for a new ABC Challenge and this one is B is for B? You Pick. For this challenge, you need to create something that starts with a B for example Blue, Buttons, Bright, Baby, Boy, etc.
This challenge is sponsored by Polkadoodles, and today I decided to use Hello from the Heart, an image from Polkadoodles brand new Lily Bug Love collection. To keep with the theme of B, I decided to make a Bow Card using a template from Sandra's Scrapsshop:



I printed my image on Copic Xpress cardstock using my Canon Inkjet Printer and coloured in the image with my copics. The colours I used are:  C9, C7, C5, C3, C2, C1, C00, R27, R35, RV14, RV13, RV23, RV21, RV10, E0000, E000, E00, E11, R20.

Here is a closer look at my image:


I also used some of the background papers from the Lily Bug Love collection for my card. They all coordinate so well and are easy to print out. You can see the whole collection on the Polkadoodles website:



Until next time, happy crafting...

ABC Challenge - A is for Animals

Well last fortnight saw the end of the alphabet over at ABC Challenges, so this time we start over at A. Today's challenge is A is for Animals and we want you to use an image or embellishment on your card with an animal on it.

Our sponsors for this challenge are  Magnolia-licious and Marianne Design, and I chose to use a very cute Magnolia stamp, Ella the Donkey.





I stamped my image on Copic Xpress cardstock using Momento Black Tuxedo inkpad and coloured in the image with my copics. The colours I used are: 100, C9, C7, C5, C3, C2, C1, C00, W00, W1, W3, R27, R24, R22, R89, R0000, Y11, Y13, Y15, Y17, Y38.
