Happy Easter from Gilli

     Hi, I'm a couple of days behind in my posting, but I wanted to tell you about a fun challenge over at The Outlawz.  Our Greeting Card Challenge this week is to make a card using some green.  It can be a small amount or green all over, just make sure you include a bit somewhere. 

     I used some Liquid Pearls on my Easter Egg and Oozak has tons of different colors.  I love liquid pearls for a quick and easy way to add some color and fun to my cards.  Perhaps you'll be one of the lucky March winners over at Outlawz and will be able to pick out lots of fun craft items at Oozak which has super speedy service and a ton of craft temptations to choose from.  ....Or maybe you'll be the winner of a Gilli Goodie Bag....I love the Gilli stamps!  ....and we also have the wonderful sponser Paper Temptress who carries the most gorgeous paper, including, Cryogen, which is great for Copic coloring.  ...and there's also an opportunity to win a class from the very talented Suzanne Dean over at Color Me Creative Classrooms.  Suzanne was my Copic teacher both online through her videos, as well as, her on the road class!  All the sponsers are terrific so I would enter as many Outlawz challenges possible, if I were you.  ;-)

      I inked up and colored Jean Gilli and an Easter egg for my card:

2 Fun Challenges!!!

     Today I have two projects to post and two fun challenges!  The first is over at House of Gilli and it's to use the color green in your project!  Check out the site to view some inspiring green projects here!!!  I've colored Celtic Gilli using Copics for my card; and remember, if you ink up Gilli to use for your project, you'll be given one extra chance to win a Gilli goodie.  :)

     Looking forward to seeing your *green* card/project here!

     Next up is a sketch challenge at Through the Craftroom Door!  Just go here to have a look at the sketch as well as to post your card for the challenge.  Prize for this challenge is a $10 certificate to Guylous Inimitability!!!  For this card I used Guylous digi image Leah.  I colored her with Copics, and paper pieced her shirt (then shaded with Copics).

     Hope you'll stop by both challenges, and thanks for stopping by here!  :)

     

Happily Ever After

Party with Gilli

Hope you're enjoying your weekend, and you have some time to craft and enter some challenges!  Make sure to come join our challenge at House of Gilli, which is to use pearls, swirls and lace on your card.  Every day or two a member of the DT adds a new sample card, so be sure to stop by each day to have a look.  :)   I inked up Balloon Gilli for my card, and colored with Copics.  I added some lace to Gilli's dress, and I also colored the lace with Copics.  The neckline of the dress was embellished with pearls, and I added a bit of glitter to the swirls of the dp.  While I was cutting out Gilli, I decided to trim her hair just for the fun of it.  That's one of the many things I love about Gilli stamps, they're easy to cut out, and they're wonderful to color.  Here's a look at my card for the challenge at HOG :

Come join us, and you'll have a chance at winning a Gilli goodie!!!  Thanks for stopping by!!!  :)

CAS Challenge at Through the Craftroom Door

Hi, hope you all had a lovely Valentine's Day!  I still have some Valentine cards to finish up, and hopefully I'll get them out before St. Patrick's Day.  I have a fun challenge to post for Through the Craftroom Door.  This challenge is to make a Clean and Simple (CAS) card, and you must include a sentiment.  This always requires much thought for me, but I also love CAS cards.  Just need more practice I guess.  I used a mini-Gilli stamp for my card, and colored with Copics.  I added a little bit of shimmer with Star Dust Jelly Roll pen.  I embossed the sentiment for the card.

I hope you come join us at TTCRD.  The prize for this challenge is a one year PDF subscription to Through the Craftroom Door!!!
