Always Shine

 This was a cute, fun card to make.  

CAS is just stressful for me … I constantly want to fill that white space.  The image is from SheepSki designs and is completed with Ohuhu markers.   I ran out of Wink of Stella (I don't know how I managed that) but before that fun stick came to be there was another and I happen to still have a jar of FantastiX ink in Champagne Mist that I covered over the sleeping dragon for that shine.  Besides the coloring, it's just a lavender card stock base.  

I'm going to add another close-up of the ink on the dragon so you can really see her shine. 

I would like to add this card to the following challenges if I may:

Just for you

 

Ahhhhhhh, my favorite colors ... they just make me happy.  This is a digi stamp from SheepSki Designs and I use Ohuhu markers.   The sentiment stamp is from Happy Little Stampers and is inked with Ranger black.  The background stripes are leftover from the butterfly I did a little over a week ago and that takes care of that scrap (but I do love those colors so much) on a pale lavender front on top of a darker lavender side fold base.   I love the red hat with this image.  Totally fun.

I would like to add this card to the following challenges if I may

ForgetMeNots

Forget Me Nots........

Hello .. trying yet another card. I cannot for the life of me remember where or whos digi this is.  I would need to go through all of my files.  It's a pretty bouquet of Forget Me Nots.   I had it printed and in my box of 'to do' stuffs.  Seemed fitting to use them at this time.    I used color pencils in my fav combo of purples, blues and greens.  I trimmed it down and framed it with a blue piece of scrap cs also in my 'to do' stuffs.

I found a scrap of white and used a pair of Fiskar fancy edge scissors that I unearthed from years ago in my cleaning and purging process.  That took me back. 

The background paper is from DCWV in a blue wood grain.  I added gold mylar hearts down the side and gold mylar braid along the bottom from a sticker set I had hidden.  The HB with stamped with black StayzOn.    All of this added to a black cs base which is top folded.  As a final touch, I added a purple bow using embroidery floss.  

Working through the kinks one step at a time.  It feels good to get my fingers inky again actually. 

I would like to add this card to the following challenges if I get them in on time
