Simply Betty Stamps December FB Challenge!

I wanted to share with you a card I made using the fabulous freebie image for the Simply Betty Stamps FB Group Challenge for December! Each month Betty at Simply Betty Stamps allows members of the FB Group to enter a contest using a freebie image. How could you go wrong with playing along!

This month we had a choice between three fabulous images to work with and I decided to use Betty Boom! The challenge for my selected image was to glitter and the color combination of Black, White, and Red! I also used some touches of pink on Betty's outfit and the present in the photo, I figured that pink was a byproduct of white and red. I used these lovely mulberry paper roses and this great swirl ribbon to add accents to this wonderful card. Then to finish it off and be sure I completed the challenge I added Smooch Glitz in Starlight to her dress, eye shadow, ribbon and the flower in her hair plus I added some to all of the mulberry paper roses.

Thank you so much for checking out my creation today, I had so much fun with this challenge. I hope you have a great day!

Digital Delights Delightful Challenge - Red and Green!

It's Thursday which means that it is time for a new challenge at the Digital Delights Delightful Challenge Blog! This week our challenge is a color challenge, 'Red and Green'!

I used the fabulous and fun image Santa Baby! I simply love this image, and while you usually see her outfit done in a solid red I wanted to change it up a bit. I made the skirt and sleeves in green and kept the bodice, hat, and socks all in red. I also used a light green instead of the usually seen forest green, just a bit of changing it up this year! I really do love how she turned out with this candy cane background paper!

Simply Betty Stamps and The Stamping Chef Team Up Challenges!

I don't know if you saw, but I have been following both Simply Betty Stamps and The Stamping Chef and enjoying all their challenges and fun, especially on their FB Groups! Back on Monday November 25th these fabulous companies teamed up for a great challenge! They offered fans and company followers one digi from each store at $1 and then issued an Anything Goes Challenge. If you create something using these images you could win a $10 GC to their stores! How awesome is that?! Well, I just had to play along.

My cards took me a bit longer than I had planned, but I really love how they came out! First up I am sharing the card I created with Simply Betty Stamps image , Persephone! I decked this stunning image out in greens and gave her sweeping blonde hair then found some wonderful designer paper from SU! to finish off her look.

My second card turned out so much better that I expected! I used this fabulous image from The Stamping Chef, Nile Goddess! I wasn't sure what colors tones to use for her clothes, but bit by bit I started to like where I was going. I paired her with some fabulous Echo Park paper called Reflections and I just love the colors and how it all came together.

Thank you so much for joining me today and checking out my projects for these challenges. I had a blast and I hope you enjoyed what you saw! Have a wonderful day!
