Dirty Dare '08 - WEDNESDAY CHALLENGES

I made this one for Jenn's challenge -- it was an inspiration challenge ... we were to use this image as inspiration:

My challenge for you is to make something, anything, inspired by this amazing cake. Draw from the colors, the patterns, whatever.

My lime color is not quite the same as the inspiration, but in real life it looks really close. I chose to use the black and white with a POP bright color, rather than the pattern on the cake. I like how this cute little Bella turned out. I think I would like to try this with an electric blue color or a super bright pink. The way the color just pops is amazing. I also discovered I need to stock up on my black and white designer paper stash (shame on me for having such a limited selection).

Stamps: Cupcakeabella Paper: DCWV Tiny Dotted, Basic Black, Whisper White, Prism Iced Kiwi Ink: Onyx Black Versafine Accessories: Black gel pen (to color details), prismacolor pencils, sansodor, blending stumps, silver and black brads, black and white dotted ribbon

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).
