3-Challenges Met Alien Card

Here's *Wink *Wink Ink's alien again! Okay, this will probably be the last card I make with the alien this week, LOL. I've just been having so much fun with him! He looks good in SO many colors! I colored in both images with my Prismacolor pencils and blended with Gamsol. I used my Fiskars border punch for that decorative thing on the left side of the card. The patterned paper is from K&Company, but the solids are from Die Cuts With a View.

I used Sketch Saturday's awesome sketch:


I don't know if you can tell by the photo or not, but I glittered up the planet pretty good and added Stickles to the blue paper in several places (the scalloped oval is completely glittered). I did all this to participate in Crafty Creation's challenge, "GLITTER and BLING". I hope all that glitter counts as bling, too!

I used all those yellows and greens on my card to play along with Colour Create's challenge, "Lemon and Lime"! I hope you like it! Thanks for looking! :)

A Late Christmas Card (Or Early!)

When the idea of making a Christmas card with this alien stamp entered my head, I just had to make it! This stamp from *Wink *Wink Ink is SO versatile! I colored him/her in with Prismacolor pencils and blended with Gamsol. The sentiment is from Flourishes. All the papers are from Die Cuts With a View and the ribbon is made by Offray. Today, I used the awesome sketch Cute Card Thursday provided:


Also, since this is a Christmas card (my favorite thing to celebrate), I believe I qualify for Charisma Cardz challenge this week, "Celebrations!"

So, what do you think? I absolutely LOVE comments and appreciate any you find time to leave any!

Oh! And remember to check out the amazing blog candy over at my friend, Melanie's blog, *Wink *Wink Ink! :o) All of her handcrafted items look even more astounding in person!

Hugs!

Introducing *Wink *Wink Ink

I definitely didn't get this one done on time to use natural lighting for the pictures, but at least I finally got a card done, right? :) I've been so busy with packing, holiday stuff, and raising four children that I just couldn't seem to get much done lately in the way of crafting!

Anyway, I used the card sketch from Crazy 4 Challenges:

Both the alien and earth stamps are from my friend, Melanie's new digital stamp company, *Wink *Wink Ink. Aren't they cool? I must admit, I'm a bit disappointed in my photography tonight, though, because not only did I not do this card justice (it looks so much better in person), but I didn't do *Wink *Wink Ink's alien justice! Ah well - I will give it another try tomorrow! I'm already in the process of making two more alien cards. I really should move on to Melanie's other stamps, but I'm just having so much fun with this alien. Isn't it fabulous? You're all going to love her other stamps, too. I promise!

I used Prismacolor pencils to color in the stamps and blended with Gamsol. All papers are from Die Cuts With a View. Oh, and I typed out the sentiment in Microsoft Word and printed it out. :)

Don't forget to go check out Melanie's blog, *Wink *Wink Ink and see if you can win some of her wonderful blog candy! Good luck and...

Happy New Year!!!
