The Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast (IC493) is a Pinterest board all about Barbie dolls. I was inspired by THIS Barbie with her light blue dress surrounded by all the colorful purses. My sis & I had Barbies & my favorite one had long red hair. We didn’t have all the fancy outfits these dolls have, but every year for Christmas, our aunt Sandy would make us new Barbie outfits. I loved those the best! I kept that Barbie & her outfits & let my DD play with her. Apparently Barbie joined the Marines during this time & now sports a high & tight haircut.

After die cutting the lt blue lattice paper, the white doily & white lacey square, I stamped and die cut about a bajillion butterflies on some polka dot papers then folded the wings upward & attached them around the doily. I added a blue center for the doily & a big polka dot button.

The greeting was stamped on a small oval & the edge was colored w/ a blue Copic before I attached it to a white fancy tag.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

For the Sketch Challenge (SC539) on Splitcoast today, I used some beautiful new images from Our Daily Bread designs.

I started by stamping the Belles Vignes on white card stock then adding some shades of aqua in the lower corner and on the little flourishes. The Crochet Circle Plain was also stamped, colored and die cut with the matching die. I stacked it and backed it with more circle die cuts & the Soar on the top most circle along w/ tiny butterfly image. The large butterfly was die cut, the top in black and the matting layer in white which I shaded w/ the same aqua blue Copics & topped it w/ four sizes of aqua crystals. The ribbon was also colored to match, and these are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

The theme for the Ways to Use It Challenge (WT529) on Splitcoast is It’s About Time! So I had to give it a try since I thought I had the perfect images & dies. The butterflies, background & flowers are also new & will be released tomorrow! So be sure to check back..they are fabulous!

I even made mine a tad shabby..something I don’t do often. My shabby was done w/ multiple embossings and sponging with Distress inks. The clock was first embossed w/ plain white powder, sponged, die cut then part of the new Belles Vinges was embossed w/ a sparkly, shabby white powder twice..once slightly offset (to add a little more shabby) onto a piece of ODBD Shabby Rose paper. Then I sponged the 3 colors of Distress inks over it. I combined the two greetings, embossed & sponged, then used a corner rounder & attached it to a white die cut tag. A white die cut vine, flowers & some embossed, sponged & die cut butterflies were added on top.

And here’s a look at the inside. Since I didn’t have enough of the beautiful paper left, I sponged & stamped it. Not sure what that weird shadow is in the lower right corner.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
