Sasayaki Glitter Sponsoring Your Scrapbook Place - No Fooling!

Happy Easter, crafters! And for those of you with a touch of the devil in them, Happy April Fools' Day! Today starts a new challenge at Your Scrapbook Place Challenge Blog. One of my favorite Designers is sponsoring this month's challenge - Sasayaki Glitter!
I got to play with this cute image called Ellie the Dancing Elephant. As I am trying to build up my stash of thank you cards, I thought this would make the grade. After coloring Ellie with Copics, I popped her onto a wooden scalloped frame painted with olive green acrylic paint. A scallop die-cut circle frames that, and both go onto patterned papers. I found  my sentiment in my stash (along with everything else this card was created with), and finished the card off with a couple jewels and a sweet butterfly so ellie wouldn't get lonely.
You have all month to create and link up your project at Your Scrapbook Place Challenge Blog, where one lucky winner will receive a prize from this month's sponsor, Sasayaki Glitter.

Good luck and enjoy the day!

Craft Your Passion with Sasayuki Glitter This Week

When this post publishes, I will be sipping MaiTais on the beach, soaking up the sun and listening to the waves lap gently at the shore. You can call it a late Spring Break or an early summer vacation, but my family is on it!
I worked ahead and played with an image from Sasayaki Glitter, this week's sponsor over at Craft Your Passion challenge blog. It's called "Smile" and I can see why she's smiling. After a long, cold winter and a bipolar Spring, we finally entered Spring with a capital S. LOL
After coloring her with Copics, I colored a bit of a scene to let her sit in the grass. Patterned papers, flowers, stick pins, ribbon and a button embellish my card. I finished off my card with some faux stitches.

Let Your Dreams Take Flight

Hey, crafters! I am still practicing making my own backgrounds after a free online class over at Kit & Clowder. Today, I created my background for the new challenge at Craft Your Passion challenge blog. The sponsor this week is Sasayaki Glitter, and I got to play with an image called Flying Bunny. I thought the image would go well with my background. She looks like she's far above the rolling green hills.
After coloring my image with Copics, I fussy-cut her out and placed her on my background (created with Copics and colored pencils). I popped my framed scene onto my card face and embellished simply with a few pearls, a tiny bit of leftover lace and a bow. I embossed my sentiment and my DT card is complete.
It's always anything goes at Craft Your Passion, and this week Sasayaki Glitter is offering a prize to one lucky winner!! Will it be you? Only if you link up before the end of the week! Have fun!
