Happy Tuesday fellow crafters!
IT'S CHALLENGE TIME!
It's time for another challenge over at Clear it Out Challenges!
The goal with these challenges is to clear out your stash, you know the stuff you've been holding on to, or things that you just don't know what to do with? As well as have fun!
This week’s challenge:
Theme/Stash: Anything Goes
Our sponsor this week is:
I used the stunningly beautiful image called " Peacock Ethereal Enchantress" which you can purchase here!

What's a peacock without some boldy, brightly colored feathers?!
I have several crafty New Years Resolutions and some of them include:
- Improve coloring skills (HOPEFULLY by taking Kit & Clowder Classes)
- Branch out of my Creative Shell and dabble in different types of styles
-Finally try new techniques that I've always been to intimated to try.
This is a version of something I saw (probably on Pinterest) called "The Spot Light Effect" It's not much of a "spotlight" but she was just way to much fun to color that I couldn't bare to cut more of the colored image off! She was colored in with Spectrum Noir Markers AND Pencils. The pencils add such fine details to images that I think I will be using them A LOT more! I also attempted digital embossing, and I didn't quite get it. I think my printer dries the ink to quickly. Which under normal circumstances is such a blessing! If anyone has any tips on this technique I'd love to hear them!
The following items were used to create this card:
Blue/Turquoise/White Cardstock - Stash
Vellum - Paper Studio
Green Feathers - Stash
Silver Gel Pen
Stardust Pen
Spectrum Noir Markers & Pencils
I hope you all enjoy it!
