Loves Rubberstamps Challenge featuring The Paper Shelter "Little Bit Grumpy"

Hello and welcome to Loves Rubberstamps Tuesday Challenge!!! Hope everyone is having a wonderful week! With Back to School, sports and all of the hectic schedules, I figured instead of dreading the "storm" to just get prepared for it instead! LOL  So with that being said, I joined in on the "Filofax craze" going on and decided to purchase my very first one!  Fortunately, they were having an awesome sale over at the Filofax online store so I didn't spend much at all.  I usually fill up my iPhone calendar with  everything and anything going on with our family.  However, I thought it would be cool to break out my lists and schedules on an organizer as well. I'm going to use this mostly for the kids' events as well as my DT project schedules which will keep me on track.  It will also be nice to add some notes if I have any sudden inspiration that comes to me at any time.  I plan to decorate some of my pages with stamped images etc so maybe I will share that when I have it organized and ready to go!:)

So this week's challenge is a fun "1,2, 3" Challenge.  The 1 is for a stamped image,  the 2  is for Design papers and 3 is for embellishments! So much fun!!! 

Our wonderful sponsor is The Paper Shelter!!!

  

Here is my card  to share with all of you...

 

The card features a digi image by The Paper Shelter called "Little Bit Grumpy".  I just think she is super adorable with her little grumpy face!  I stamped up my image on white cardstock with my Black Tuxedo Memento Ink and colored her up with my copic sketch markers.  Gosh, these images from TPS are so adorable but they definitely challenge me with my coloring skills! LOL  When the DT was provided with some of these adorable images, they also includes some already colored images.  This was very helpful as I based my shading off of that image which really helped me out, especially with the hair!  Now my hair is nowhere close to the perfected colored image I tried to mirror but I'm happy with my version! :)  These definitely give me great practice with coloring and of course they are all so cute too!  So my cute fairy girl is the "1" in my equation.  For the "2" design papers, I used the collection, Vicky B by Bo Bunny.  This was a little challenging for me as I normally use 3 to 4 backgrounds of the DP collection I am working with.  But I really wanted to stay true to the challenge so I used only 2 including the Spellbinders "Crochet Circles" die cut behind my image.  I edged all of my papers with my Tim Holtz distress ink in Spun Sugar. Finally, the "3" embellishments I used are the pretty green trim/ribbon on the bottom.  This trim is from Webster's and has been in my stash for quite some time.  I also embellished my card using flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and then some pink pearl bling from Recollections.  I did use some white stickles in "Diamond" to paint on the flowers.  I added this also to the trim on the dress, ribbon and her eye shadow to give her some extra sparkle.  I'm not sure if this counts as another embellishment but I couldn't help myself! LOL  The smile sentiment is from a random stamp set I have in my stash. 

Please check out the Loves Rubberstamps store to see supplies used on my project.  Also, check out the Loves Rubberstamps Challenge blog to see what other  projects the rest of the Design Team made.  If you want to join this fun challenge, I'll post the details below and you could have a chance to win some great prizes form the store.
