Midway Post for Ike's World Challenge Spring Inspiration Photo for April

Hi all!  I am back and delighted to be attempting to catch up on almost ten weeks of recuperating from a fall down the stairs.  My arm is healing nicely in all the broken parts :)  Now for Ike's World Challenge for April using a Spring Inspiration Photo!  I had so much fun working on this; it was nice to be inking and coloring up again!

Some background papers in soft pink and background stamps in green ink with some butterflies made a nice home for the pocket to hold my seed packets.  The Seed images from Ike's Art were colored with Touch New Markers and inked with Distress Inks.  A twine box in green made the last touch. Oh the gorgeous green background paper is a digital paper from Dragons Lair Designs that I printed out and is called Watercolor Papers set.

April SUYP Challenge Furrything Goes!

Yoo Hoo!  I am playing again at the SUYP Challenge that Ike hosts each month and a super easy one with Furrything Goes this month :)  I used a freebie of Ike's from a previous month that is now only a dollar Cat Smiles.  He is also reminding us to NOT FORGET to SMILE!  He is enjoying the spring weather and letting all know he is!

Hope you are smiling!

Don't forget to have a look see at the SUYP Challenge and grab a kitty to love and create with!  And remember Ike's World Challenge, too!

Uh, Santa, You Over Slept!

Santa, Santa?  Did you forget your calendar and smart phone???  Well, Santa went to the Grand Caymans because of his tiring journey last December 24th and kicked off his shoes and fur and ordered a rum punch!  I am playing at Ike's World Challenge #101 Anything Goes with a twist of Let it Snow (Winter, Christmas) and I went with Christmas a little island style!  This awesome image is a freebie that Ike of Ike's Art so nicely just gives to you to play with!  

I used Spectrum Noir markers for the scene and tried some really terrible watercolor pencils for the sky that is best just not talked about ;)   I embossed the blue paper with technically tiny flowers but in my world last night they were snowflakes.  I die cut three ornaments from glitter paper...yep, I am still sparkling!  The sentiment was made in Photoshop.

Hope Santa gets a move on or it might be a blue Christmas for sure!

I am entering this at Ike's World Challenge #101 Anything Goes with an optional twist of Let it Snow.
