I'm happy to feature an adorable image from one of our sponsors, Bugaboo Stamps. I usually associate the cute characters from Bugaboo all over blog land, and forgot they have some very nice silhouette style stamps too. I did some fast Copic coloring to add life to the image and added lots of sparkles with my Stardust Stickles.

ATS Think Spring Blog Hop

Welcome to the Think Spring Blog Hop brought to you by the All that Stickles design team!


The All that Stickles DT is happy to share with you a variety of spring-themed projects created using Stickles, of course! Now that Valentine's Day is over and we're in the final weeks of winter (finally!) it's time to THINK SPRING! :)

If you've come from Tonya's blog, you're in the right place. If you've just come across the hop and would like to start at the beginning, please visit All that Stickles.

For my project, I created a spring color inspired card.
My Creation
 Image Detail
I colored my image with Copics and created a dotted border with Liquid Pearls.
I used Stickles to create a sparkly border of my sentiment.
I used Stickles to jazz up the design of my designer paper. I filled in some of the hearts and flowers, and highlighted some of the lines in the plaid pattern. It's an easy way to add texture and interest to your card with very little effort.

OSCC Gets Sketchy

Welcome to Saturday! I hope everyone had a lovely week. My eyes have feasted on some FABULOUS red and pink love creations in blog land for Valentine's Day. I was still feeling the love, but wanted to leave the red and pink on the side. We have an awesome sketch over at OSC for our challenge this week and our sponsor is the amazing Kenny K. I LOVE Kenny's sassy images and used Wanda Wicked on my card. How will you be inspired by this sketch?

I used lots of Stickles to bling up my pig and added Crystal Effects to her eyes and hooves.
 I altered my bling by adding Stickles over the top.
 Here's a pic of the bling before (on the left) and after (on the right). The original were fuchsia and I wanted a more sublte pink...but still with LOTS of sparkle and shine.

Love for Honor

Hello and Happy Saturday! I am so excited for this week's challenge over at One Stop Crafts. We are sponsored by the amazing Saturated Canary and got to make 'Love is in the Air' creations. I'm a huge fan of fairy tales, especially medieval times with castles and princesses. I prefer the strong, independent princess, and fell in love with this image called Honor. She reminds me of Merida in Brave. I didn't try to recreate her crazy, red hair; I just went for the general 'feel' of her.I hope you like my card and.....

My Creation

I really like this hair combo (see the details at the end of my post for all the colors). I used liquid pearls to accent the die cut mat.
I like adding Crystal Effects to the Saturated Canary images eyes. They are always so large and beautiful. The shine helps make them pop. I also added some to her lips.
 Tricky to see,but there's also crystal effects to the arrowhead and I used Stickles on the bow's feather and in a few other spots on the image.

I had fun playing with a cute Bugaboo image for my Christmas Red Stickles creation. I usually print 2 identical images when I'm working with digis. Sometimes I like to add dimension by popping up a piece or two; sometimes I like to try different color schemes; sometimes I think ahead in case I make a mistake; and this time I wanted to try shaggy fur vs. blended fur. I was happy with how they turned out, so I made them both into some quick and easy cards.
