A little Zen and Alpha play : )

I had a bit of time to create early this week, and I worked on cards for challenges I follow at Splitcoaststampers.  

For the Alpha challenge, I made 2 cards- I am a bit behind, but will get caught up.....

E is for Europe.  I made a card using stamps depicting the Netherlands. (HAd to google that- yes, it is in Europe).

I used Distress inks and Copics for coloring the images. The die cut is Gina Marie. I am not positive, but think the stamps are TAC. 

F is for Fantasy.  I do not have and fairy stamps, but found this Tinkerbelle image in my stash by All Night Media. 

I stamped the image in a gray by Gina K Designs, then overstamped using Versamark and put Stardust EP on the stars below Tinkerbelle, and clear EP over the rest of her.  I masked the image and used DIstress inks on the background.  I added White paint mixed with a little Irisdscent EP and added splatters.  I added white gel pen over the swirl of stars as they were too dark.  The image was colored using Copics. I added sequins to finish off the card. 

 For the Tuesday Teapot Tickle-we made Zentangle cards to send to other participants.  

I outlined this camera from a TCW stencil, and filled it in with Zentangling. I colored the background using Copics. The cardstock has Distress inks sponged on, and I also added some stamping and splattering with water. The sentient by Unity was fussy cut and sequins and glossy accents added too. This was such a fun and relaxing card, and I made it while Zooming with some crafty friends which I enjoy doing : )  

I hope you are having a great week and I am trying to get to blogs- slowly but surely!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
