Birthday Princess Ellie

It's time for my Challenge Inspiration Post this month! Speaking of challenges, don't forget to enter our "Anything Goes" challenge this month! Just a few more day to enter! For your inspiration today, I used "Birthday Princess Ellie"! You can also find her as a digital stamp if that's what you prefer, but I personally like rubber. I hope that you love it!


 
 
I colored the image as usual with my copic markers. I used some patterned paper from my stash as well as some enamel hearts. I inked the edges in Distress Ink "Vintage Photo". 
 
 
Thank you for stopping by! For more details and photos, you can check out the post on my blog. Feel free to leave some comments if you like and I hope to see your creations in this month's challenge! Have a great day!

Avery with Sea Shell by Cara

Morning everyone Cara here with a Summery inspiration post for you using Avery with Seashell.




I coloured her up with my Spectrum Noir pencils in lovely soft summery colours.



I added lots of Summery die cuts too!


I love this image, it is one of many Summer themed digi's in the store, I just can't get enough of them!

Have a great day!

Hugs xx Cara xx

Maddie with Glasses with Leah

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well :)  Are you enjoying the sunshine where you are?  We finally have sunshine!  And I am just dying to sit in the sun and read a book :)

So I have created a bookmark featuring Maddie with Glasses and I have colored her with watercolor pencils :)


This is one of my most favorite dolls :)  Maybe because I'm a book worm :P


This girl is a lot of fun to color, and I know I have colored her quite a few times for cards, but I especially like her on a book mark.  What do you think?


If you would like to see more details about this project, please visit my blog at odetopaper.blogspot.ca.

That's all from me for now, stay tuned for more inspiration from our talented design team, and join us for the monthly challenges.  They always start on the first Monday of the month and they run all month long!  And as always, the theme is Anything Goes!  See you soon!

Emma with Anchor

Karen N here from Craftily Yours, providing some inspiration for YOU to join the Paper Nest Dolls Anything Goes Challenge!  We LoVe to see what you create!  It's summer-fun time, so I decided to create a summer / water sports inspired card:



So sweet, this doll with her anchor, aptly named, Emma with Anchor.  I colored her with the following Copics:

Skin:  E000, E01, E11, R21, BV20
Hair:  E21, E23, E25
Clothes:  Y13, Y15, Y18, R24, R27, R29, BG72, BG75, BG78
Anchor:  C1, C3, C5

The background is created with Distress Oxide inks.  (LoVe them!)  And I added a sentiment from the General Sentiments set from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  I also added some lace, ribbon and enamel dots.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Craftily yours,

Karen
