Creative Cowgirls Challenge #14 - Getting Jiggy

Just a quick Challenge post this time. The Creative Cowgirls Challenge is 'Getting Jiggy' it's all about the dance. Our wonderful sponsor, Tellen's Place Designs gave us some images to use and I got the fantastic Skull boy n girl. I coloured the great image using Copics and Promarkers, the backing papers were from Creative Cottage, Little Monkey's Pirate Adventure and the Skull was a clipart from MS Publisher which was cut out and layered. I edged all the mats with peel offs coloured with black Promarker.

Creative Cowgirls Challenge #13 - Anything Goes

All back to normal now after the double long weekend, kids back at school and work back to normal. Then another long weekend to disrupt the flow in about 3 weeks, I only hope this good weather continues.

The challenge this week over at the Creative Cowgirls Challenge is Anything Goes, so I hope all you who visit take a little time and hop over to enter.

This challenge we were given images from the talented Michelle Perkett, mine is called 'Birthday Packages with Hearts' and can be found on her Etsy site by clicking on the link.

I have made my background by colouring with DIs and stamping with a CC stamp from a Cute Companion Christmas set. You can't see it on this photo but I have layer the image, there are 3 layers on the yellow, 2 on the blue and 1 on the green I then wrapped the parcels in ribbon and made a 4 layer bow to put on the top (it looks more effective in real life). The image was coloured with Promarkers and Copics. The sentiment is part of the image but I printed it separately and the 3 parcels are cut from the top of the pile. This is the second card I have made with this image as I lost the topper I orignally made. If I find it I may make another card to post later.
