Stick a needle in your... heart

This week's challenge at HDH is a
That's Minion speak for a sketch challenge.

HDH141 butchered blueprint - SatCan
I flipped the sketch to accommodate my design idea. 

I used the Candy is Dandy Bear from Smeared Ink, and
matched him up with one of the many witty sentiments from
I pierced his little heart with a pink stick pin in keeping with the sketch. 
He does look a bit dangerous doesn't he?

Don't be a stick in the heart, and join us for this week's challenge!

Simply Betty Sketch Challenge

This week's challenge at Simply Betty is a killer sketch from
that crazy talented cat lady, Cheri/Graphicat.

I decided to use "Devil Rio" on this one.
I didn't ever get a chance to use this image at Hallowe'en,
but thought she'd make a really cute Valentine's Day/love card.

I've been having really good luck with my coloring when I use this
combo and I figured why mess with a good thing?
I do think I am getting, "pinked out" though.

These poison tickets are the only tickets I own. They are part of a 
really cool digital sheet I have with apothecary labels that I got on
Etsy a long time ago. I colored the wording in with coordinating Copics. 

I really like how these green gems pop. I went over the already
green gems with my FYG2 Copic to give them a nice fluorescent glow.

I am quite pleased with this card and I have Cheri to thank for
creating such a great sketch to inspire me.
Drop by Simply Betty Challenges and join in on the fun.
This week's winner will get some cool papers and chipboard bits
from the "Crazy Love" collection by Bo Bunny.

Oh Alice! Chapter 30: Hey there, Nice stems...

Just as Alice said this, she noticed that one of the trees had a door leading right into it. `That's very curious!' she thought. `But every thing's curious today. I think I may as well go in at once.' And in she went.

Once more she found herself in the long hall, and close to the little glass table. `Now, I'll manage better this time,' she said to herself, and began by taking the little golden key, and unlocking the door that led into the garden.

Then she went to work nibbling at the mushroom (she had kept a piece of it in her pocked) till she was about a foot high: then she walked down the little passage: and THEN--she found herself at last in the beautiful garden, among the bright flower-beds and the cool fountains..."

Hello out there! It's a lovely day here in Wonderland and we are celebrating the summer with a nature theme today! Well, TREES and FLOWERS and BIRDS to be more exact! We scored a GREAT sketch sponsored by PAGEMAPS today that is just perfect for today's theme.
Check it out over at the Oh Alice! challenge blog.
Being that the challenge was to incorporate trees (I only have Halloween trees), and birds (I only have vultures and ravens and such), and fleurs, I went with the fleurs.
I do have quite a bit of flowers and fleury bits, so this was a good way to use some of my
hoarded goodies.
I even broke out with the fancy schmancy half pearls!

I finally managed to work Willow, from Tickled Pink, into a project!
I've had her stamped for months(?), and had fun finally bringing her to life.
What did I ever use before Copics?
This was a fun sketch that I wasn't familiar with and it took me outside of my box.
I am pleased with how it turned out and promise to never speak ill of any of my projects
for Oh Alice! again.
