7 Kids College Fund Challenge #104: ANYTHING GOES!

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope you've been having a great week so far. Today starts a new challenge at the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge Blog. 

The theme for the next two weeks is easy peasy because it's: 

ANYTHING GOES! 

Today, I've used this gorgeous stamp from DoCrafts called Simply Gorjuss The Pretend Friend. I love this entire line of stamps!! The Gorjuss Girl line is seriously one of my top faves!! She's stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto X-Press It Blending Card, and colored with Copics.

 Copics:

Skin: E000, E00, E01, E02, E13
Hair: E44, E47, E49

Pink: R81, R83, R85, R59

Black: C5, C7, Black, Colorless Blender

Toy: E33, E35, N0, C5, C7

I sprinkled Stampendous Shabby Pink Embossing Enamel all around the edge of my image and usted my toaster to heat emboss it. Using the toaster is my trick to keep the powder in place and not move all over my image (I'm not coordinated enough to hold the heat gun under the image while holding the paper with one hand!). My gorgeous dps are from Wild Rose Studio Icing on the Cake 6x6 Paper Pad. The Happy Birthday banner is a die from Memory Box. I also added die-cut feathers from Spellbinders.

Little Miss Muffet~FEARLESS FAIRY TALES Release!

We've got something exciting today at Little Miss Muffet Stamps....a new amazing release called Fearless Fairy Tales!! I'm showcasing Little Mermaid, and she's AMAZING!!

Let me tell ya, I was a little scared to color this! It's so out of my comfort zone to color something with so much detail. I kept staring at it and psyching myself out. But once I got over my fear and just started coloring what was familiar to me...like her skin and hair, the rest sort of fell together. We've got to challenge ourselves to get better, right?!! I added Stardust Stickles to her shell bra, crown and staff. Then I used Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Marker on her tail. She's pretty sparkly in real life! I also outlined parts of her tail with Copic Opaque White. I got this idea from my friend Elise, but I think I need a thinner white pen!

 Copics:
Skin: E000, E00, E01, E02, E11
Hair: E09, R05, R02
Crown: Y02, YR24, YR27, Stardust Stickles
Shell Top: V22, V25, V28, V99
Mermaid Tail: BG10, BG13, BG15, BG18, BG70, WoS Clear Glitter Marker, Copic White
Staff: Y02, YR24, YR27, BG18, V22, Stardust Stickles
Octopus: E70, E71, E77, E79, N2, N0
Sea Grass: YG91, YG93, YG95, YG97
Water: B21, B23, B4, Colorless Blender

The decorative background paper is from DCWV The Colorful Life Stack. The papers are based on artwork by Donna Estabrooks and have a mixed media feel to them. The sea horse charm is from Walmart. The blue trim is from Websters Pages and the raffia was in my stash. The beautiful white leaves and flowers were from my friend Carisa...thank you girl...I'm putting those flowers to use!!

Now be sure to head over to the Little Miss Muffet Challenge Blog to see the entire Blog Hop List! You'll definitely want to check out all the creations and new images showcased by my fellow DT sisters!!
