Teaching is a work of Heart

A good Wednesday to you!  It is time for another challenge at Creative Moments.  The theme is "Anything goes" Back to school!  Perfect timing with all those little ones returning to the classrooms, I am sure the teachers would love a little card!  We are being sponsored by QKR Stampede.  I have used the cute little "Mouse teacher".
My card base is Heavenly White, the deep brown paper is mini graph from Hambly Studio , I flipped it over and used the solid side.  This paper has such a pretty shimmer.  The brick wall effect is the called Pink Brick Wall“ a Hambly studio overlay.  There are so many possibilities for these amazing papers.  These amazing papers are on sale right now for 60% off!  You can get all of these papers at "Paper Temptress"

 
My image is colored on Neenah solar white with copics.  I hope you have enjoyed my card today and look forward to seeing you join in our challenge.
 
Challenges:

Beauty under the Sea!

Happy Monday to you all!  I am so excited to be here sharing with you as a Guest Designer for Challenge #6 at Aurora Wings!  I was so honored when Mitzi asked me as she has a lot of talent on her team!  The theme for this challenge is "Under the Sea", and I have used the beautiful image called "A Dark Undercurrent" the full version.  If you have not checked out Mitzi' images you are really missing out you can find them here.


This image is very captivating to me I just love her with her skulls, like maybe she is missing her loved ones! 
I came across this cool green snakeskin paper that I thought was just perfect.  I took some cheesecloth and spritzed it with copic refill ink to match, then added a little hair spray to it to stiffen it up and inter-twined it with a little gold netting, added a couple of shells, and a flower that is it!  She is colored with copics and has a little stickles on her for some bling.

Copics used:
Skin:  E50, 51 R20
Fin: BG09, 11,15, 23 and G02
Hair: E30, 33
Skulls : C00, 1, 2
Blues:  B0000, B000, B00
Sand: E41, 42, 43
