CAS sketch challenge & Friday Sketches

This was also for three challenges. One was a sketch challenge from Friday Sketches, the other challenge was Copic Buzz Challenge: color clothing, the third for Copic Creations: eyes. The image came from In Style Stamps and was, of course, colored with copics. I added the lines for the hair and rope that you see through the wings. After I colored those spots, I then used my colorless blender and faded out the color before I went over it with some Lilac Shimmerz. Once it was dried I didn't like the effect so I experimented and added some Star Dust Stckles to it and the result was perfect - it took away some of the purple and left even more glitter on top of the shimmerz. Overall I got the see-thru effect I was going for with the wings. For the flowers, I colored them with the same puple copics I used on her dress and then pained Lilac Shimmerz over them to bling them up some. For the two bigger flowers I added a light purple rhinestone brad and the smaller one got a silver one. As for the eyes, I think I still need to work on them.

Now for the second card.

I've got two cards for ya'll today. The first one is a digital image I got from The Greeting Farm. It is one of their Ian stamps and the first one I own now. I really did enjoy coloring him in and thought it would be perfect for a CAS (clean & simple) challenge. Now I did take some artistic lience and moved the image in the sketch to the left just a tad to make room for the three orange rhinestones and the small birthday wishes (stamp from PTI). This sketch also lent itself to another challenge I needed to do. This one was for the Sweet Dreamers Blog Group I'm a part of. We are to recycle something on my card. I choose to recycle some paper scraps that was going to be thrown away: the blue patterned paper and the black c/s the bling is on.
