PTT8 Cut it UP, monochromatically speaking!!

2nd post today...please scroll down for Paper Pretties

Hang on to your hats, I actually colored in an image with something other than Copic markers! I think that this cute little bear is probably holding an umbrella because of the weeping that my Copic markers were doing!

The adorable bear image is from Stitchy Bear, and he is just precious. He was begging to be watercolored, so I printed him on watercolor paper, and voila, here he is!! Isn't he a cutie? We are being sponsored by Stitchy Bear, and they were so kind to furnish us with some awesome images!

Something else that you will have to hold on to your seats for...that wonderful polka dot paper? It's a digital paper! I didn't use any dp that I had purchased in a store! Isn't that amazing? You can also get this paper from Stitchy Bear!

Last, but not least, we have a technique called Cut it Up from Twosdays Techniques, and I altered it a bit using my Wonky Squares from Nestabilities.

If you would like to join us for this week's challenge of both monochromatic and cutting it up, please find samples and instructions HERE. We'd love to have you join us!

PTT7 A Whole Lotta Craftin' Going ON!

We have an awesome challenge for you this week at Party Time Tuesdays, and we have multiple sponsors this week! The challenge is to make an easel card this week using the sketch below from our sketch artist -- Stacy Koo. We used a wonderful tutorial from the ladies at Twosdays Techniques, and you will love their work! Remember that you can win a subscription to their tutorials. All of the details and your chance to enter can be found HERE.

I couldn't fit the shamrocks on my easel card, so I decided to make a little gift enclosure card that measures 3x3. I actually don't have any shamrock stickers, die cuts, or stamps, so I easily made this one from my heart Nestabilities dies. It was fun! The cute little flower stickers are from another sponsor of ours -- Circle B Enterprises. You will be amazed at their inventory, and the prices and service are exceptional!!

My easel card features our last sponsor -- Baby Bud Designs. We were so fortunate to be given adorable images to work with. I actually used two on my easel card, one that I was given and a free one that was given away by Baby Bud Designs. I had to use them together with Stacy's sketch!
