613 Avenue Create #79-Anything Goes/Create Your Own Challenge

Our current challenge at 613 Avenue Create is to Create Your Own Challenge using this chart:

Our sponsors are Delicious Doodles and Creative Bug. I used Creative Bug's Taveon with Bath Toy and chose the following elements from the chart:  Image, Sentiment, Solid Color Paper, (Faux) Stitching and Paper Punch:

I thought this little guy was so cute. The tiny fish is his bath toy, but I decided they would float in the ocean rather than a tub :)  Everything is from my stash. I've had that wavy blue paper for years. I used a circle punch to make the sun. The speech bubble is Close to My Heart. I colored the images with pencils and gamsol.

I'm entering these challenges:  Creative Bug #4 - Signs of Summer (ocean swim, sun, blue sky); CASology #102 - Float; Addicted to CAS #42 - Sky; and Chocolate Coffee & Cards #68 - Summer Days.

613 Avenue Create #73-Anything Goes/Option Add Metal

Good morning! It's a beautiful day here in Georgia, and I'm happy that the sun is out. I'm looking forward to a happy day. You can get some happy by visiting 613 Avenue Create. Our newest Anything Goes Challenge has the fun option of adding metal.  Our sponsors are Lacy Sunshine and Creative Bug. I used a pre-colored digi from Creative, Cuddle Buns Gets Squished.

Aren't the bunnies adorable?  I cut the image using a Nesties and added blue ink and green ink around the top and bottom before removing the cut from the Nestie.  The yellow polka dot background was created by inking through a Heidi Swapp stencil. The ink is dark in some areas and light in others. I like that effect. The three hearts are popped up as is the main image. The bunnies' noses, ears and feet have a bit of sparkle thanks to my clear Wink of Stella pen. I added three metal brads around the die. I will add a sentiment later when I decide who will receive my card.

I'm entering a few challenges:  Less Is More #173 - Use a Die Cut; Brown Sugar Challenge #95-Anything Goes;  Die Cut Diva's Challenge Blog (May)-Use at Least One Embellishment (and a Die Cut or Embossing Folder), and Creative Bug on the Loose #2 - Anything Goes.

I hope you have a wonderful day!
