Cut it Up Challenge #254 ~ Magical Creatures

Hi Crafty Friends,
We have a new challenge up at Cut it Up Challenge Blog.
Our sponsor, Oddball Art, provided our images for theMagical Creatures challenge.  I am using the Lizzy Love image.

Along with this sweet image from Oddball Art, I used the new forest dies, side butterfly die, and Magical Forest papers from LaLa Land Crafts.  The scene was colored using Copic Markers and added some Liquid Pixie Dust for a touch of sparkle.
Come play along with our challenge.  Remember that you must follow the challenge theme and include a die cut on your project.
We always appreciate it when you support the wonderful sponsors that provide the prizes to our challenge winners.

Cut it Up Challenge #246 ~ Snowmen

Hi Crafty Friends,
Our Cut it Up Challenge is SNOWMEN.I felt odd making a snowman card because we've been having warm weather in California.  However, this morning I woke up to a hard frost.  Our lawn looks like it's covered with snow - who knew?I guess the weather is as unpredictable as the world situation - ugh!
Our sponsor, Oddball Art, provided the team with some really cute digital snowmen to use.
Here's my project.

This is the cover of the card using a card mat die from Whimsy stamps.I colored the two snowmen the same for a reason:here's the inside.

I loved this sentiment from Jaded Blossom's Winter Wishes stamp set and figured this might be a clever way to convey the message.

If you haven't worked with digital stamps, you're missing out on some creative versatility.  This is the same stamp, but I was able to reverse it and resize it to create the card.

I colored using Copic Markers, cut the images out using a Scan NCut 2, and used the Gemini Jr. for die cutting.

I hope you'll play along.  Oddball Art is providing a $10 gift voucher to their store for our lucky winner.
