Delightful Challenges, Make The Cut Challenge, and Butterfly Vickie Set!

Happy Thursday!  For this week's Delightful Challenge, I used Wendy's adorable digital called  Butterfly Vickie Set.  Butterfly Vickie was printed out on my HP printer and then colored and shaded with copic markers.  Glitter was added to parts of her clothing for added shine.  My die cut was by Sizzex framelits.

My cardstocks are by Graphic 45 and Bazzill.  Last weekend I was at a miniature show in Ohio with a friend of mine and found these cute miniature roses.

Delightful Challenge, A Back To School Challenge and May Cupcake Set from Digital Delights!

For this 12X12 Scrapbook layout I used one of Wendy's adorable digitals from the May Cupcake Set

Here is a close up of this adorable digital!  For this layout, I enlarged my image using my HP printer.  Then it was printed out, colored and shaded with copic markers.  Crystal lacquer was added to the apples and pencils for dimension.  Fine glitter was added to my cupcakes icing to finish it off.  My cardstocks are by doodlebug.  Just perfect for recording the first day of school!

Delightful Challenges Pop it up and CELEBRATION CHARLIE!

For my DT card for this challenge, I used  the adorable stamp called Celebration Charlie.

I printed my  image out on my HP printer and then colored and shaded it with copic markers.  I layered and popped up my bear and balloons up to 3 times, as well as one of the background layers.  My flower was handmade with spellbinders.  I used pearls, trim, and cardstock from my too big stash.  My background was embossed with a sizzex folder!  What fun!  This card is going to a dear friend who is mad about bears.
