Bring on your favorite coloring challenge

I'm here with a new 

MilkCoffee challenge!

Come have some fun with the new challenge that is

Your Favorite coloring 

Please pop over to MilkCoffee and join us in the fun, and also check out what the other DT girlies created!! 

I am using an image the girls at MilkCoffee drew of "ME":-) Each Design Team member got her very own self portrait and I tried to get the coloring of my hair, but Umm yeah I love my highlights but boy are they hard to recreate here! LOL 

 I used my favorite combo of Copic Markers E47, E44, E42, E41 for my hair:-) 

R22,20 were used on shirt, with YR's for the main flowers and RV for the side flowers

I have been on a kick lately with using black CS as card base or accent colors and just really love the look right now:-)

I added some 6x6 DP from Simple Stories Vintage Bliss, a few flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, Circle dies from Spellbinders and leaf punch from Martha Stewart 

Thank you so much for stopping by

Here I am with a new card for 

The Paper Nest Dolls challenge

It is to use die cuts

Below is my card using Alicia's digital image "Alice In Wonderland"

I tried to get my Alice as close to the original Alice as I could, only because it is one of my favorite childhood movies:-) I used Copic markers which, for the cat was a bit of a challenge, and I wanted a more worn look to him so added a bit of colorless blender on his face to wash it out some, I am still on the fence as to if I like the way that worked out:-) I had a charm with a rabbit holding a card that is from The Charm Store 24/7 and it is called the white Rabbit in silver

The wonderful clock die is from Susanna, at Susanna's Custom Art and Card Design called Alice's clock corner statement.

Emboss It

Welcome to 

MilkCoffee Designs new challenge which is

Emboss It! Either Wet or Dry:-) I did both:-)

You have two weeks to get your creation in so why not come and join us? The rest of the team also did great projects so go check it out:-)

I used Doodle snowman and added a dry embossed snowflake piece of card stock, I also added a few sprinkles of Stampendous Fran-Tage chunky white emboss powder to make it look like it was snowing on my snowman:-) Thank you to Anne Marie for the inspiration of the Fran-Tage:-)

 My sentiment is a computer generated one, but I know in my wood mounted stamps I have a stamp sentiment just the same from years ago.

Below is a closeup of my wet embossed "snow" I added, by sprinkling the chunky emboss powder on the card stock and heating it.
