Paper Makeup Faux Silky Challenge , Our Creative Corner Sketch Challenge 6-27-09, The Character Cafe Challenge & Copic Creations Challenge

This is the first time I have used a Paper Makeup Stamp. I just got my first order the other day and I have to say that these stamps are absolutely darling. Take a look at all the rubber stamps and digi stamps they have. Here. The back panel with the red flourish is made with kraft paper, white tissue and GLUE The technique is simple and it does produce a nice texture to the paper. As you can see from the title I have combined four challenges.

You can check out My Creative Corner. Jennifer Meyer put together this challenge and did a great job. My little Fairy has Shimmerz on her wings and the photo doesn't do them justice. After covering her wings with Shimmers I took a Stardust gelly pen and colored all the little details and they look so pretty. I had just finished crocheting some pretty bright red flowers so I decided that might look pretty cute on the card.

Copic Creation's challenge this week is for brunette hair. The challenge is sponsor by Scor Pal and they have a wonderful prize for the winner. I chose brunette hair for my little fairy and I really like this combo of colors.

Last but not least is The Character Cafe's Challenge to use glue in a different way. They have a great tutorial on an interesting technique using glue for texture. Check it out here. Not only that but they have an absolutely darling FREE DIGI called buck. This Faux Linen Technique I used on my card is not anything new but I haven't used it in years. I might not have even remembered the Faux Linen Technique had Paper Makeup not used it in their challenge.

Oops - I forgot all the deets, here you go>
