Happy Halloween...

I have a fun little Halloween card to share today for Kitty Bee Designs

I am using Halloween Mr. Bitty, make sure to checkout the Etsy Shop for all the images

My card starts with a white cardstock A2 base, layered with lavender and orange patterned paper.  I cut a circle and tree from my Cricut to give it a scary Halloween look.

I colored the image in the following Copic markers:  BV00, BV02, BV04, Y00, Y02, Y06, Y08, YR000, YR02, YR04, YR07 and then fussy cut around the image.  This was layered on top of all the papers.

To finish the card, a Happy Halloween sentiment and some Black, Green and Orange adhesive candies.

Thanks for coming by today, I hope you enjoyed my sharing. 

Have a great day! - Karen

It's Mid-Inspiration time for Aloha Friday Challenge over at Kitty Bee's

Challenge #80 - Scraps (use a minimum of 3 patterned papers)

Here's my card...

We have two really great Sponsors for this challenge

Alicia Bel

and

Ppinkydolls

For my Design Team card I am using this cute image from Alicia Bel called Butterfly Faery

I started with a white cardstock base and added a layer of pink patterned paper on top. 

I then colored my image using my Copic markers in the following colors: B00, B02, BV02, BV31, E00, E02, RV10, RV13, Y00, Y08

I used a circle die to cut around the image and mounted onto the card.  I added a sentiment banner and used 2 patterned papers to layer additional banners over a thin strip for my third patterned paper.

I finished the card with white gel pen hi-lights on the image, glitter on the wand and some pink adhesive rhinestones for that bit of SPARKLE!

Fun in the Sun...

Sharing my DT Spotlight card for Kitty Bee Designs today

I am using Ready for the beach penguin

He is adorable with his little snorkel mask and beach toys

I decided to create a little scene for my card this month and fussy cut the images

After coloring the image with Copic markers, I fussy cut the images.  I then cut a circle out of the center of my card, added some sky blue patterned paper to the inside, which created a nice sky in the center and a bottom border.  I finished with a Cricut cut sun and a FUN in the SUN sentiment, then added sequins to make it sparkle.

I used the following Copic markers:  B000, B00, B02, B05, C-0, C-1, C-3, R22, R27, R29, Y02, Y06, Y08, YR02, YR04, YR07
