Hugs to you

 

So here she is, my favorite angel. Sending a heart and a hug to you. This has always been one of my favorite stamps and I love the way she is so easy to blend with any color combinations. I used papers from Webster's pages, the Nature's storybok series. I colored my stamp a little different this time, I used my Prismacolor markers, but first I added ink to a craft pad, then picked up the ink with my clear blender and kind of painted the colors on that way. Added some ribbon, lace, diamonds and pearls(The Diamonds and Pearls don't just make me think of an old Prince song, but also a challenge at Pollycraft Monday Challenges) plus my distressed flower and all of this follows a sketch at The Sketch N Stash. I used their sketch and literally, not one thing here did I buy new, this was all stashed away just waiting to be used. I managed quite a few challenges this time. CES Challenges of spots and stripes, Corrosive Challenge  and Magical Monday for magical creature,and 4Crafty Chicks with angel, butterfly or fairy, Stampin Vacation for Friendship Month, Stampin Vacation You are in my heart, Pile it On with Childhood Dreams, Paper Crafting Journey with Anything goes, Shelly's Images with anything goes, Delicious Doodles with glitz, glam shimmer and bling, and Bearly Mine with ribbon and Pearls!! Wow, I did it! LOL. Thanks to Pile it on for introducing me to so many new challenges. Great site!!

You're an angel

At Stampavie they had the criss cross card for their challenge. I always liked making these, so I thought I would take it on. At Flutterby Wednesdays it was Anything Goes as long as you have an angel or fairy on your creation. At Challenge Up Your Life, their challenge was to have scripture in the background, which I stamped on my cardstock and on my patterned paper. At Jane't Corrosive Challenge Blog, she wants us to Button It up, so I added some button flair to the top of my insert to make it easier to grab at. And then there is Whiff of Joy, and Simon Says,  with Love is in the Air, and with this lovely angel blowing  kisses, you can't get anymore love in the air. I used my Whiff of Joy Sugar Nellie stamp, some of my patterned paper still lying around and on my angels' pants, I cut them all apart and dropped a bit of ink all over my craft pad to create a "tye dye" look to them, that is inspired by my friend Jennifer at the Dragonfly Tea Cottage. She makes the coolest tye dye goodies, check her out if you haven't already.Just so you know, her web site does her no justice, she has amazing works of art there for sale besides amazing food and delicious tea!! Hugs to you all!!
