Bling, Bling, Baby!



Hello again! Hope you are all having a wonderful day! Did you stop by, today, to hear all about today's new Saturday challenge at Catch The Bug? I hope you did!

Today's Saturday challenge at Catch The Bug is a fun one - A Photo Inspiration challenge. I sure hope you'll be inspired to play along with us - There are awesome prizes up for grabs, from Bugaboo Stamps! Come play with us!

To inspire you to play along with us in our Photo Inspiration challenge, I made this cute ATC (Artist Trading Card) to show you. I used the colors from the photo, from our photo inspiration challenge.  This ATC was made, actually, to swap with other ATC swappers, at Stampaway 2013.

My ATC uses the image Stella Red hat - Bling, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. I used paper flowers with gemstone centers, by The Paper studio. A real feather was used for the feather on her hat.  I finished off by blinging her up - By adding tiny gemstones to the image for her jewley - earrings, belt bauble and on the base of the feather in her hat. A clearstar gelly roll pen was used to add dsparkle to her ring and bracelets.

This week's challenge is a Bingo Challenge. Want to play along? Check out Catch The Bug for our current bingo board, then start creating some awesome projects to link up with us!

Today, I'm showing you my first ever ATC.  I created this cute 3 x 5 card (several of them, actually) tyo trade at Stampaway Cincinnati, this month.  Of course, I wanted to promote Bugaboo Stamps, too!

For my bingo, I've used a Bugaboo Image, Sewing, and Pearl/gemstones.

My ATC uses the image Flowerpot 1, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. The sentiment is computer generated. I used a white opaque pen by Signo, to add faux stitching around the edges.  The upper right corner has been embellished with two blue gemstones.

My card today uses the image Balloons, by Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. I went with a purple and blue color combo with accents of green. The metallic silver glittered ribbon adds some extra sparkle.  I used blue gemstones and outlined then with a white opaque gel pen by Signo, to add contrast.
