Challenge #87 at Ike's Art World

Anything Goes With an optional twist Angels and Demons

   This challenge runs from Apr25 - May 09

The "garden" twist could go with any flower bed or vegetable garden.

I chose to use Ike's "1920 lady" from her digi shop Ike's Art.

You'll find many images that can be used in this challenge.

For this image I used:
Angel Front and Back

         

A friend of mine (Ginny) told me about a YouTube video on creating with a digi on a candle.

I decided to try this "something different".  It seemed easy enough...until you got into making a 4 x 7 Pillar candle.

I would suggest you start with something smaller until you get the technique down.

Other than that it fun and easy and could even be decorated.

Someone will be getting this for Christmas!

Give it a try and I think you'll like it.

Back in Ike's World

It's time for "Challenge #83"

This will run from Feb 28 - Mar 14

Anything goes with an optional "focal sentiment"

I once again use one of her beautiful "Butterflies"

We have flowers blooming here in Florida and it's feeling like Spring.

 

I decided to use my new Prisma pencils this time.   I've been waiting to give them a go since I bought them.

The tulips were embossed and fussy cut then colored.  I debated coloring the bakground and the trial one I did made that look less airy so I opted for just the tulips.  The butterfly was also colored with pencils.

We'd love to have you join us in this challenge.  Color your beautiful Ike's image and join us.

Inspirational card for Challenge #82

This week I created an inspirational card for Challenge #82

Anything Goes With an optional twist Nature

For my twist I used the beautiful Floral Wreath image.

You can find her images at:  

http://www.ikesart.com/

This is one of my versions of it and I'm sure 

I'll be using again since I have other ideas for it in mind.

Recipe Card:
Double side purple cardstock from stash
Dark side on outside of card
Re'collections Coordinations
Light (other side) of purple card
X-press it for Copics
Copics in BV000, BV02 and BV13

At first the number of petals intimidated me then 
I just started with a small section at a time and before I knew
it the wreath was completed.  I'd like to urge you take on some of these projects by just working in small sections at a time.

Be Independent

Challenge #66 

Be Independent

I chose to use "ike_Libby" artwork.

 

I thought it would be fun to create a "box card".  I had many embellishments to include and used flags on toothpicks, whirlygigs on toothpicks, and fireworks.  I added glitter and a beautiful American eagle that I also added glitter and layers to.  The Statue of Liberty was an artwork by Ike and was fun to color.  It's amazing to find so many pictures of her with so many different colors.  I used an image that Alyce from "Kit and Clowder" shared with me.  It used mainly blues and I used the following Copics:

B00, B10, W5

Although the palette was limited I think she turned out pretty.  I hope you like her too.
