Since Ashley's Dance Recital will be here before I know it, I decided to make a card for her so I don't end up doing it at the last minute. She will be wearing a purple leotard and skirt, so I colored this to match. I used the Stage digi image from Hambo Stamps and combined it in Photoshop with a free digi image that I got last year from Two Scoops Rice Designs and came up with this:
The image was colored with copics and then I added stickles to the girls dress, shoes and hat as well as the embossed dots on the background panel.
I thought this image would work perfect for the sketch challenge over at Hambo Stamps so I followed that sketch. In addition to that challenge, I am also entering the following challenges:
Paper Play - "Shiny Happy People"
Stampin for the Weekend - Ribbons and Bows
The Corrosive Challenge - Texture
Totally Gorjuss - Texture
Clearly Delightful - Use dry embossing and some yellow (I have very little - the centers of the flowers, but it is there)
Paper Sundaes - "Make a Scene"
The Crazy Challenge - "Don't Call me Flat"
Crafty Angels - "My Favorite Things" - copics, ribbon, rhinestones, stickles, border punch, nesties
Kaboodle Doodles - "Digi Girl" - use a digital girl stamp
Ok, that was hard to pick and choose challenges, since I could have entered many more, however two of them I wanted to enter have a limit of 10 challenges so 10 it is.

Here are a few of the cards that I did for various challenges on the Stampin Out Alzheimer's ning group this past weekend. Since there were quite a few challenges I wanted to participate in, I kept my cards pretty simple as it was a busy weekend and I did not have a lot of time for stamping. We had a mini golf and lunch outing for my Daisy Troop, got our garden planted, and since the weather was so nice, we spent lots of time outside with the kids!
Anyways, on to the cards.....
This one was for the I've got the Blues Copic Marker Challenge sponsored by Verve Stamps. You had to use the Copic colors B12 and B16 along with your choice of any one E color. I chose E33.

This was an All-In-One Challenge. You could only use 1 color, 1 stamp, 1 embellishment and 1 ribbon. I had to try this one to see if I could do it and I have to say this really was a challenge. I know I cheated a bit and used a teeny bit of yellow in the center of the flowers, and added a brad to the prima flower (but I'm using my creative license interpretation on that one because technically I think it is only one embellishment ~ the flower ~ and besides they NEED something to cover that hole in the center or they just don't look right).
I think that before I actually use this card though, I will add a sentiment to the right side and perhaps a few more of the little primas (that one just looks so lonely by itself)

I came across this blog in the past week, and emailed Renae from Two Scoops Rice Designs for the free digital image she is giving away and to find out more information on ordering stamps. She sent me not only this months cute bunny image, but also sent me last months garden fairy image (which I used below) ~ how sweet of her! I also found out that they now have online ordering, so I will be placing an order in the near future.
Instead of making the fairy's legs skin color, I tried to make them look like pale pink tights by using the colorless blender pen over the RV32. I would have loved to put Stickles on her hat and dress, but haven't had luck with Stickles and digital images in the past, so I skipped it.
