I'm sharing a card a made for a few digital challenges. I've used an image from Digital Pencil for Mo's Challenge- a sketch. Dare you 2 Digi Stamp is asking for buttons and Digital Tuesday challenged us to use embossing. I embossed the two cardstock panels with a Cuttlebug folder in my Big Shot. I also swiped some ink across the embossing on the blue panel for a little distressing. The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils. Here is the card. Stamp: Mo's Digital Pencil Paper: K&Co., Bazzill cardstock Tools: Cuttlebug Spots and Dots folder Accents: Buttons

Yes, I know, this is going up very late. It's been a long, busy week at my job and I did not have time to find a feature. But while browsing my email, which contained one from mycraftivity.com , I found the most amazing etsy artist. Check out the work of Glory2727. WOW!! That's all I can say. WOW!! The first piece is a colored pencil piece! I have a lot to learn about using my colored pencils. Maybe by the time I reach 76, I can be half this good. Yes, 76, this artist is 76 years old! Kudos to her for staying creative!

Are you a sketch artist or do you draw or create with Prismacolor pencils, markers, etc. ? Then this challenge may be for you: http://contest.prismacolor.com/ . I was doing some research for pencils and watercolors, and found this. I'm not this type of artist. I don't think stick figures would get me anywhere. I only plan to use the pencils to color something already drawn for me, but I thought I'd share in case anyone with this talent was interested. Today's quote: Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. unknown
