I made two cards for the challenge. This first one is made with the image Charlotte Reads A Book. Such a cute image!!  I colored her with copic markers. 

Copics used:  Skin E000, E11, R20,   Hair N2, N4, 100,  Hearts R24, Clothing R0000, Y02, FY1, Y15, Y17, Y11, Pillows Y0000,  Books E99, E08, Y26.

The background was fun to make. I took Dried Marigold Distress Ink pad  (Tim Holtz) and rubbed it over the inside of a Chevron embossing folder from Close to My Heart.  Then I ran my white cardstock and the embossing folder through my Cuttlebug and ended up with a really cool background. Then I took the Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink Pad (Tim Holtz) and swiped over the raised up areas of the cardstock. I really like the way it turned out. I then added some star embellies from Jolees and attached a sentiment "dream BIG" by  Studio G. My yellow and orange papers are from my stash.

For this card, I used the digi image, Michelle Walking from Milk Coffee.  I colored her with my Copic markers.

Copics used:  Skin E000,E11,  Bow and Boots BG11, BG13, BG90, BG93, Coat and Handbag YG63, YG05, YG63, Foliage YG04, YG61,  Sky B0000, Sidewalk N2,  Hair Y26, Y28, Y23, Y21.

For the background, I used the Gorgeous Grunge set from Stampin Up! and used Aqua ink from Vivid, Pear from Close to my Heart and  Dried Marigold Distress Ink. I just stamped randomly with all the stamps in the set. I used my corner rounder to round off the corners of the rectangles that were cut with my paper trimmer. The image is cut out with a pair of my specialty scissors that I often forget that I have.  This pair was the deckled edge one. I finished with three pearls in the corners and a glittery butterfly sticker that was given to me by a very special friend. I added the little pearls to make the body.




I hope you will stop over at the Through the Purple Haze Challenges and see what the rest of Team B cooked up for you to be inspired.
