Digital-Ink Co Challenge

Hello Friends!  It is time for another challenge at Digital-Ink Co. and we are celebrating New Beginings! With this challenge this will be the end of the 2009 Design Team and we will have a New Beginning here too. On 1/5/2010 a new team will start there duties and the next challenge will not start until 1/25/10.  This will give them time to acclimate and get the most exciting and wonderful creations ready for you!  I have a few digi images this week to share with you and am I excited!!!!! First off I have the lovely Lil Diva digi stamp called Bella Ballerina normally priced at $2.50 but available until the end of the month at half price. She is dancing through time and into 2010.

I made a side step card for this one and you can get the tutorial here. I colored the image with copics and used some stickles to make her tutu sparkle! The background paper was a glittery silver so I wanted to keep everything else pretty simple and clean.  I think she is a charmer!

My second digi stamp from Digital-Ink Co. this week is from the Super Stitchy Stamps called Bucky Bronco. This sweet image is available until the end of the month again at 50% off, at the price of $1.50.

This time I decided to make a spring card. You can find the tutorial right here. This was a pleasure to create. I decided to make the Bronco able to kick with a touch of your finger so I put  him on a brad and put it between the two peices of card stock.  By touching the image you can move him up and down to give a kick. This way he really is kickin' up a celebration!  By just removing the 2010 this could be used for any type of celebration!  I think he is a hoot and realy liked how he turned out!

The last image I used this week from Digital-Ink Co. is from the marvelous M & M Designz. Do you know that stands for Mom and Me.  Isn't that a wonderful sentiment.  The digi stamp I was honored to work with was Vintage Hat & Girl. Once again normally priced at $3.00 but until the end of the month can be purchased at $1.50.  This image is beautiful and made me think about remembering our past as we look forward to our future.

On this creation I tried to make it look very old to stay with the feel of the image.  I used pale gold DP and stamped a background of a letter on the front.  I used copics and chalk to color the girl. I then took some flowers and feathers to adorne her stunning millery. I distressed the edges with gold and walnut ink. The sentiment was made on my computer. I made this one a Tri-shutter card and the tutorial can be found here. To fill the spaces inside the card I stamped some small images of old antiques. Please forgive the picture. The chair I took the picture of the open card on, has a slant so the card looks like it is crooked. I guarantee it is straight!

I think she turned out just lovely! Very refined and elegant!

Now it is your turn to hop on over to Digital-Ink Co. Challenge blog, for a chance to win the prizes,

 link your creation with Mr. Linky and show us what you got! This challenge will run for one week instead of the normal two week. I know it will be MARVELOUS!!!!!!!

My new beginning resolution this coming year is to " Have more patience with everyone" as I have grown older I have realized that I have grown more cynical at times. I also need to apreciat what I have been given in the past before always looking to the future. I need to correct that and also loose about 50 lbs.
