Fussy and Fancy Challenge 136 - Buttons and Bows

Happy Friday
Fussy and Fancy followers!

********

Our challenge for the next
fortnight is hosted by our

very sweet and talented

Kavitha

Hi! I am Kavitha and I live in India.

I have loved playing with colors and crafting

as far back as I can remember.

After my studies, I started taking it up seriously and

did a couple of diploma courses in fine arts n fashion designing.

I love trying various techniques and crafts, but my

favorite is paper crafts and mixed media.

Currently I run an online crafts store for paper crafting and

I also make exclusive hand made products on order.

I am so happy to host this challenge!

I hope that you will join us and I can't wait to

see all of your gorgeous creations!

The challenge Kavitha has chosen is:

Buttons and Bows

Here is the lovely
Buttons and Bows card
that Kavitha has created!

Using Gardenia from Aurora Wings

Gorgeous colouring, Kavitha and so very pretty with the
different shades of pink and soft gray.
The pretty pink button centered on top of that lovely soft
bow make the perfect finishing touch
on this lovely card!

Kavitha will be choosing the

Top 5 Winners

for this challenge!

********

We are excited to announce
that Aurora Wings

is our sponsor for this challenge!

Fantasy artist and digital stamp designer Mitzi Sato-Wiuff started offering digital stamps in Aurora Wings shop on Etsy in May of 2013. It has experienced a phenomenal growth, thanks to the wonderful response to her unique style of art that ranges widely in terms of subject matter, style, and complexity from simple beginners' images to highly detailed, advanced colorists' images -- different from a lot of digital stamps that are available in the paper crafting industry.

Mitzi is a Colorado based artist, who is originally from Japan. Her artwork shows a clear and distinct influence of vintage shojo manga (少女漫画), tattoo art, woodblock prints, and kimono textile art of her native country. Mitzi has been drawing since early childhood, playing with crayons, watercolor, colored pencil, pastel, acrylics, and more recently, digital.

The very sweet, generous and talented

Mitzi

is offering one very lucky winner

$15.00 USD worth of digital stamps of your

choice from her shop!

Thank you, Mitzi!

I mostly do card making, but I love to recycle and alter things.

One of my greatest passions is Magnolia stamps. I just adore inking these cute

images and colouring them with different mediums.

Hazel has created this beautiful

Hazel, This is such a lovely and very

Girly card! The gorgeous black frilly

die cut really helps to make the pretty

This is such and adorable image and I love

the pretty glitter that you have added

The die cut lamp is a brilliant addition

to this particular image and your handmade

flowers are the perfect finishing touch!

Fussy and Fancy Challenge 135 - Girly

Happy Friday
Fussy and Fancy followers!

********

Our challenge for the next
fortnight is hosted by our

very sweet and talented
Céline

Hi, My name is Céline and I live in France near Paris.

I enjoy teaching at primary school during the day.

Then, I have been sharing my card making blog with my sister Nathalie

(who is also on the Fussy and Fancy DT)

for a little more than 4 years.

I love and enjoy card making.
I really love coloring my stamps or digis, best of all.

I principally use copic markers

but love to try some other mediums such as

polychromos pencils, Néocolor II or distress Markers.

However, Copics are my very favorite!

My style is principally shabby Chic

with lots of

flowers and lace ... so perfect for

Fussy and Fancy team ;)

Sometimes I try to make my cards more C&S, like today

(It's really hard for me, though! LOL)

hugs
Céline

The challenge Céline has chosen is:

Girly

Here is the Beautiful
Girly card
that Céline has created!

Céline

Wow! Céline, This card is stunning!
Your colouring is outstanding. You coloured the
flowers on your image so realistically and the shading on
her skin and lovely hair is beautiful!
You certainly didn't need much for embellishments at
all with the gorgeous floral designer paper that you are using!
The pretty punched lace edging is so dainty and I love that the
fancy sentiment is decorative as well!
The purple hearts that you added make the
perfect finishing touch!

Céline will be choosing the

Top 5 Winners
