I did this card for the challenge over to CDAC. I colored it in with my copics, mounted it under some brown card stock I had sprayed with Tattered Anges coffee shop, added a few little star fish and a crab I had, and topped it off with a saying from Ginger's.
The colors I used are as follows:
R39, 46, 20
YR09, 16, 20
B79, 66, 63

I've never done koi before so I had to do a goggle search to see what they looked like. I colored them in with my copics and added a few lilac crystals  for bling. I didn't color the water in as the first one I did I did color it but I prefer it uncolored. It was just too blue/green.
The copics I used are as follows:
B02
BG10
N01, 04
YG06
RV14, 19. 13
B09, 12, 06
100
YR68
R27, 29

I colored him in with my copics, I wanted him to really pop of the card so I used a a variation of shaded from the dsp. I used a wide ribbon to wrap the card stock with and used dimensionals to mount him. I left him pretty well unadorned as I am using him as a note card.
The copics I used are as follows:
V09, 06, 15, 01
G28, 17, 12, 85
RV19, 14, 02
FYG2
YG61, 45


I had fun doing up Mandy for the challenge over to Sassy Studios. I colored her in with my copics, cut her out so I could mount her with dimensionals, used gold glitter for the earings, necklace and green on her body, added ribbons, and finaly I added pearls to make it look like she had thrown them out. I also used pearls for her necklace.
The following copics I used are as follows:
E18, 15, 00
G17
R14
E01, 11, 00, R20
E43, 42, 40
G28, 17, 14, 0000


This is my first steam punk and I am so happy with her!! She came out so much better than I thought.
I got the digi from mayzart studios and I lucked out when I came across dezianworld, she has the best steam punk things I've found!! I hope you like Zipha as much as I do. I did use dark colors in the back because I wanted her to pop.
I colored her in my copics, used creative memories metalic silver pen for the buckles, used dimensionals to mount her so she would pop more, and finally I used a few crystals for bling.
The copics I used are as follows:
E47, 44, 40, E00, 01, 11
C01, 03, 00

YG09, 05, 0000

I've been busy visiting others web sites and viewing their old posts this weekend to see what I could find for ideas and learn new techniques. I've seen many things I'm waiting to try.

I'm a little confused about the freebies. After viewing a couple sites I'm not sure if the freebies are theirs or someone elses. What really gets me is that they have on their blogs to give them credit, not post the freebies on the net for others, etc., etc. Yet from what I can see they are in violation of the code themselves.  I don't even dare to post a card I made with a digi from someone that's not a challenge!! I'm just really confused.

I did get a few nice digi's this week for the challenges and I'm waiting to see what I'm going to get from CDAC. I got most of  them colored today so I'm on track so far to posting everything Thursday.

I guess I'm most anxious to  try the flower techniques. I think I'm going to place an order for some ribbon so I can try at least one of the techniques. I've watched so many different web cams this weekend to learn. I love the roses on the cards and I want to be able to use them myself.

Til next time.

I did this card for the Sassy challenge, I know I'm a week late. Yet I'm reall happy with the way it came out. This is the first time I've ever done hair like this so it was a new techneque for me to try. I was originally just going to use flower soft so I'm extremely happy with the choice I made.

I colored her in with my copics, used dimensionals to pop her up, mounted her on a piece of suede card stock, added a saying from Giner's House, and finally I added large blue crystals for bling. I hope you like her.

The copics I used are as follows:
Y17, Y00, Y38, R32, E21, E01, E00, R30, E15, BG09, BG10, BG13, BG15, E43, G17, R29, RV23, RV19, RV25.
