Yeah it's New Challenge Day!!!!

Valentine Day Card Challenge

Just create a Valentine card that's it, that's all and we all know it's right around the corner anyway.  Don't forget if you want a chance to win the prize you MUST use a SBS image:)

Here is what I created using Teen Scene Valentine Steampunk image "My Heart A Flutter Christian"

Here is my Sepia attempt, he is colored with copics and I wanted to keep it on the masculine side 

alas I had to add just a little pink.  I just carried the hearts and cogs theme to the center of the card as well.  Hope you like my card and don't forget to leave a lil comment for all the talented DT.

SBS Release day,Yay!!!

Introducing the new line from Simply Betty Stamps  

"Mythical Teens"

These are so adorable and the fun and fantasy Betty has given us is sure to spark some creative ideas!  For my project I put together another book that I rescued from a trash bin and oddly enough it was an old art book.  Here is what it looks like now.....

My cover using "London Nymph, Lola Fairy and 2(I reversed 1) Miller Fairy Boy".  I painted the cover of the book with purple acrylics.  While it was drying I colored my fey with copics.  I clear heat embossed all the wings a number of times as well as the sentiment.  Then it just became a matter of the embellishments.  A pendent from a necklace, placed atop a paper flower became my closure.  the spirals were cut from a designer paper(that was not my most fav.), but I liked the spirals.  The blue is a gift package topper with a bead added to the center.  Hope you like my cover.

Just a close up of my colors.

Introducing "Betty Fawn Queen, Jude Faun Prince and Chris Faun King"  I colored these with copics before I had any idea of what my page was going to look like.  After coloring I kept picturing a May pole dance, so that is what I created.  The original book pages are showing I just used 3 different ink pads to "color" the background then I stamped grass and blue flower silhouettes along the bottom.  My May pole is just ribbon and a bamboo skewer.  The flowers are all from my stash and then come the music notes from an old book.  This is a journal page.......

My hidden journal spots :)

Just Close Ups

Here we have "Christian Merboy and Siren Rio".  For this page I created my own designer paper with pool party and midnight muse inks from stampin up as well as a sheet of bubble wrap.  I colored my merfolk with copics and just played with some stamping.  Can you tell where my pockets and tags are????

 Coloring close ups

 The tags!

I hope you had as much fun looking at my book as I did creating it :D
Now hop on over to Louise's blog to see what she has created.  If you have not been hopping along, here is the complete list so you can start at the, well start lol  have fun, I can't wait to see what you all create with these amazing images.  Thank you Betty !!!!!!

New Steampunk Release

   I am so very excited to have been asked to join in the new Steampunk Release. I hope you are all excited by the new Steampunks as well as the Challenge Blog.

 Now I should be the last stop on your hop these images are so amazing it was hard to choose 2 for my project.  I have started a journal/altered art Steampunk book.  Here is my first page using "Bride of Frankenstein"  I have colored her with Copic's then after cutting out my image I decided I wanted a distressed edge so I burned the edges.  That is a real mirror on the 2nd page I had to cut out a little niche for it to fit in and am pretty happy with the results as this is my first altered book. She is just such a lovely fun image to color.

 My second image is "Grave of Lenore"  another amazing image.  Such a sad thing and she so lovely.  After coloring her with copics I found 1 sheet of this gorgeous pink and gold paper and new it had to be my background.  I added the black behind the image and used the embossed paper to cut out around a black butterfly that just felt right with her.  The green lace is from my stash and the silver skull was added one piece at a time with my I rock tool.  The page opposite is just some journaling spots for me.

Well I hope you liked my pages, but more importantly I hope you loved the new images and blog.  Below is the hop list just in case you didn't start from the beginning.  Now have some hoptacular fun but don't forget to leave a little love for all the wonderful inspirations of the fabulous Design Team!
