Guest Designer: "Emma with Gift"

Hello friends!

I am here as a Guest Designer for The Paper Nest Dolls Creative Team for May! As you may know, I am currently designing for the Challenge Team, but Christine gave me the opportunity to guest -- so thank you Christine! Anyway, for the project today, I used "Emma with Gift" which is available in both rubber and digi. I hope you like my project!

I colored the image with my copic markers as usual. I cut the ovals around her with C.C. Designs "Ovals #1" Die Set as well as the "Make A Card #14" Die Set. I inked all of the elements with Distress Ink in "Vintage Photo". I added a few small roses from Wild Orchid Crafts and the pretty patterned paper is from Echo Park's "Party Time" 6" x 6" Pad. Lastly, I used Nuvo Jewel Drops and Glow in the Dark drops for the bottom border.

Warm Drink Cold Day

What's better than a Warm Drink on a Cold Day?

Well, nothing other than having a Snow Day and coloring the day away ;) .  By the time you read this post however, my snow day will be over but that is exactly what I plan to do with it. I love snow, it might sound odd to those places that get hammered with winter storms but it is rare to have on the valley floor here at my home--mostly just in the mountain areas! I'll consider it a late birthday present since my birthday was the 10th, haha! Anyway, I am the Guest Designer for Faery Ink this month and sadly this is my last post. Thank you for the amazing opportunity, Amanda! I hope to work together again down the road :). For my last project, I used  Faery Ink "Aja Warm Drink Cold Day" for a wintery creation. I hope that it inspires you! You can also find my post on the Faery Ink Blog.

I colored the image in my copic markers using some of my favorite purple and blue combos. I used some adorable patterned papers by C.C. Designs |("Snowy Day" and Doodlebug Design ("Polar Pals") for the backdrop as well as a couple die cuts from C.C Designs and Lawn Fawn! The lace I used is from Live & Love Crafts which is sadly closing down soon ! I also inked the edges in Distress Ink "Vintage Photo". The card base is from Bazill's Card Shoppe line in "Robin Egg".
