simply b feb challenge

This month the challenge (facebook simply B challenges) was to make a project using an image (given by them and this time we had to choose either a girl or boy) but without using pastel colors. All easter image without pastels!
So here is my card and I had to use the new mini 8 border  punch which I got recently

some twines, charm, burlap and square rhinestones completed the card. I also used a piercer and orange and white gel pen to make fauz stitches

Used Copics of course on the images

For face - E00, E02, E11, E13

Blues - E9 family

Browns - E3 family and a little bit of E5 family

For the inner ears and lips a bit of E04

Hu Dun Dat

This is one of the images released this Sunday at DS4J
This cute image is called - yep you guessed it right! - Hu Dun Dat
Here is my card

The Chinese lantern was cut with silhouette. I used my hot fix thingy and purple cow staples - the flowers  and butterfly -  and brads and ribbons. I inked the center oval like shape with chalk ink.
I want to enter this in some challenges

'Birthdays are Fun'

What a fun challenge we have at DS4J this week.

THEME : 'Birthdays are Fun'. It's  a birthday bash!!  

So Create a papercraft project or card to fit the theme. Your creation/card can be anything to do with  BIRTHDAYS!!! It can be for ANY age as well!

So do come and join us there and win some prize.

Here is my card using the image celebrate celia – http://digistamps4joy.co.za/eshop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=309

The card base is cut using silhouette Sd. Made a shape card out of it. Isn't the image so cute? I love how the way she is holding a banner in her hands.
 I had these roses and a white rhinestone ribbon (which I cut into individual pieces instead of adding plain bling) for quite a while - I think I got them a year back from lacrafts. I decided to use them on this card to decorate

The inside has this sentiment

I am going to enter this card in some challenges

This release has some awesome images. I loved coloring them with copics

Here are some cards I made

This following one was fun. Note I did add some dress on the girl because my youngest son got a peek at the card and went "Mom!!!" Sorry Betty :)

Loved doing this one too. I used nail polish on the tub. Looks like enamel up close

Hope you enjoyed looking at the cards. I still have a couple more images to play with from this awesome collection. Yes yes - I know you are in a hurry to run and get the images for yourself but please do wait  until you finish the hop to get more inspiration!
