Challenge Entry: Let It Snow

I tried a new technique today, as called for by a few of the challenges this week.  It's called "Spotlighting".  It's when you try to highlight a specific area of a stamp.  And this is my take. :)

Greetings:Favourite @ Crafty Sentiments Designs

For using a Crafty Sentiments Design Digi,  I was picked as the "Favourite" for their Snowmen challenge last week!

I really had fun working with the snowman digi image I used, especially the colouring part!




I entered 2 cards into the contest using the Snowan Couple digi. :)  Here are my cards.



As a prize for being picked, I get to choose another Crafty Sentiments digi from their store! :)

Challenge Entry: Pink Bear Love

I am back to making a pink card.  I just couldn't resist it! Sorry. :D

So, here's my Pink Bear Love card. No DPs on this one.

Close up.

Cardstock: American Crafts, Popular
Stamped Sentiment: Inkadinkado
Digi Stamp: Crafty Sentiments Designs - Poppy and Henry
Punches: Daiso, Martha Stewart
Rhinestone: Zva Creative

For my image, I colored them up with Copic. I am quite excited colouring with them though I only have a few markers - skin tones mostly, but I made them work here in this image. I am still learning, and need LOTS of practice.

I am submitting my card to these challenges:
1. Lia Stampz - Challenge #5 - Use 2 images
2. Craft Your Passion - Challenge #80 - Double Up with Pink
3. Top Tip Tuesday - Layer It Up!

** TOP TIP **
Using DPs on your layouts is fun.  But sometimes, even without using DPs, as in my card here, you can still make it work.  CAS is fun and it works! :)

5. CPS - Sketch  #240
