ANOTHER CAS CARD

Now I ordinarily don't care for clean and simple cards ( i can't do to much Frou Frou ) but with this image from MEL JEN called FANCY BUTTERFLY it was easy.
I decided to just go VERY simple in color ( use the same BG copics) and just layer tones. If you are one that likes Clean and Simlpe (CAS ) cards , this challenge is for you. Please stop by the Dutch Dare card challenge blog and share with us your interpretaion of a Clean and Simple layout. You could win a prize and lots of accolades. Here is my inspiration for this CAS challenge.

WOOD WITCH

I adore this image she is called the WOOD WITCH. Every Steampunk image I have colored , I have used Prisma colored pencils. I was always too afraid to use copics on this tiny of areas, but I took the plunge and reluctantly use my copics. I have to say ,it didn't turn out too bad. I am DEBUTING her on the new Challenge site SIMPLY STEAMPUNK. If you want a bit of a challenge, a challenge away from the Cutesier style , then I suggest you dive right in and get to it. What do you have to lose?

Somebunny called,,,,,

 I decided to enter the Simply Betty challenge on the Fan page on facebook. While I was coloring it ,I stepped away from the craft desk for a brief moment. In that brief time My 4 yr. old grandaughter decided to assist in the coloring . So if you look closely you will (maybe) see where. The image is from Simply Betty

When your down and troubled,,,,,,,,

 Once again The Simply Betty Steampunk site is having another Challenge. This time it is to use a Simply Betty Steampunk image and distress your card. Whatever distress means to you make a card or a project.I was pretty apprehensive to color the image I was given, I didn't think I could do it justice. But a little birdy told me I had to tackle this , so I did. Well I hope I did it proud and my little birdy is pleased. I was given one of the new images from Series 6 The Letter B. Here's a little inspiration for you. This image was done as a SEPIA tone card.
