PIP Challenge 2528

 


Sponsored by 

 

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by Polkadoodles.  I would like to thank them for their sponsorship.  Since I've been dealing with flare ups of my migraines and fibromyalgia lately, I decided to go a bit easy on myself with today's card and took the pre-colored fishbowl from the Too Cute Christmas Big Kahuna Bundle and paired it with three uncolored fishes so I would just have to color the fish.  This is a fast and easy way to get some Christmas cards done especially if you're not feeling well.  Once I had my image printed, and colored, I lightly stippled some stormy sky distress ink around my image, layered and added some silver brads from my stash.  Taking a red/silver ribbon, I added that to the top before tying into a knot.  After adding some faux sewing and bling for the bubbles, my card was finished.

I have a second card to show you using their Busy Bee Gnome Road Trip image and a retired Creative Worship/SNSS saying.  My card is colored using Ohuhu Honolulu markers.  I then lightly stippled some stormy sky distress ink using a blender brush before adding some bling to the flower/wheel centers and a clear 3D glaze pen to highlight parts of the image.  I'm extremely happy with how this turned out.
