Can You Digi It Henpecked

Wow, it's the last day of July and this is my last card as a guest design team member for Can You Digi It.

It's been fun!  

Our kids return to school tomorrow, I can hardly believe it - the time has passed much too quickly.

The house is going to be way too quiet tomorrow but I know I'll adjust as we enter into their 6th and 7th grade routines.

My card today makes me giggle, I can hardly wait to put it in the mailbox!

Our friends from Colorado visited recently and we had such a good time with them.  They are raising chickens and were telling us about how much fun it was.  This digital image from Can You Digi It made me think of them and especially my friend Cindy who was wondering what the chickens were "thinking" and would say if they could, lol.

I colored the Henpecked image with Copic markers:

R35, R46, R59

BV00, BV000

BG0000, BG01

Y00, Y11, Y21, E31, E33

The layout is sketch #14 from Merry Monday,

Card stock and papers are Via Vellum Black, Sorbet Grape, The Paper Mill Aqua, Stampin' Up! Barely Banana, Basic Grey Kioshi designer paper pad & Copic X Press It.  I also used Spellbinders dies, a Cuttlebug embossing folder and and strip of organdy ribbon.  

I hope you'll stop by the Can You Digi It blog today and see all the design team eye candy and be inspired to participate in the challenge.

Can You Digi It Disgruntled

You might need your sunglasses for my Disgruntled Pig today!

I'm trying out new color combinations for pig skin, a.k.a. swine flesh...

Copic markers are my coloring medium of choice, I combined E93 and RV23 for the pig skin.  It actually matched Stampin' Up! Cameo Coral cardstock beautifully.  The other Copic markers used are:

Y11, Y21, W0, B21, B23.  Other papers - Stampin' Up! Ballet Blue and Bazzill Lemon.

The reason for my card is the Can You Digi It challenge that starts today, the theme is "button it up" so I used a Cheery Lynn Designs button die.  My layout is a sketch from Merry Monday, I really like their sketches and discovered that Merry Monday is a Christmas Card Sketch challenge.  

I also used an old Stampin' Up! French Script background stamp to mimic the script around the pig.  I couldn't come up with another color for that band so I used Copic markers on a scrap of X Press it then stamped over it when the ink dried.  I think I'd like to play with this sketch a little more!

Are you ready for an "Over the Rainbow" challenge starting today at the Can You Digi It challenge blog?

My card today uses the digital image Do You Care For Tea? from Can You Digi It? and is colored using Copic markers R24, R22, R20, Y15, Y13, Y11, W1, W0, N5, N3, N1, B23, B14, B12, R85, R83, R81, G43, G40, BG23, BG13, V17, V15, V12.  I've had my eye on this stack of tea cups for quite some time now and I have to say they were really fun to color!  

I have a copy of the inspiration photo for this challenge below:

Can You Digi It Puppy Love

Happy Valentine's Day!

I have a design team card for our newest challenge at Can You Digi It?!

I chose to use this sweet sleepy Boston Terrier digital stamp because she stole my heart (:

For my card I used Splitcoast Stampers sketch challenge #355 for my layout and paper that was in my gigantic scrap pile beside my paper trimmer.  I also used Spellbinders Hearts & Scalloped Hearts dies and a Sizzix embossing folder.

I hope you'll join in on our challenge at Can You Digi It?!, for a chance to win a $10.00 gift certificate to the store! 

Edited to add:  I've had questions on Facebook about where to buy this digital image so here is a link to the Can You Digi It?! store - have fun (:
