HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY ATSM - Challenge #100 - Photo Inspiration

Hello friends!  ATSM Challenge #100 marks the 2nd year of Addicted to Stamps and More!  

Whoo Hoo!!

Thank you to our amazing leader Kylie who keeps it all fresh and fun for her DT team :o)

We've had so much fun inspiring you each week and seeing your amazing creations.  

How very blessed we are that you continue to support us and play along in our challenges.  

Take a look at the gorgeous Photo Inspiration we have for ATSM Challenge #100. 

So many possibilities with this one... rainbows, rain, umbrellas, summer, bright colors!

Our sponsor for ATSM Challenge #100 is Stitchy Bear's Digi Outlet

and they have generously provided our DT with some images to use for this challenge.

I made two cards this week to inspire you - take a look!

I decided to make this a birthday card in celebration of ATSM's 2nd Birthday.

I used a combo of Stampin Up! new blendabilities markers 

(coastal cabana, old olive, daffodil delight) 

and copic markers (BG 10, R20, RV02, RV06, W0, W2, W4, N6).

Check out that paper - isn't it a great compliment to this image :o) LOVE it! 

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Crafting from the Heart - Challenge #23 "Anything Goes"

Sentimental Sundays - Challenge #211 "Animals"

Suzy Bee's Bloomin' Challenges #33 - Celebrate

Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper June Challenge

And now for my second card:

I'm especially excited about how this card turned out.

Not only did I manage to do a fairly good job on coloring suntan skin,

but I also colored a beach scene.  Please forgive me if it seems that I'm

bragging - I'm just so excited, I can't help myself :o)

If you'd like to learn how to color a beach scene,   

There's a great photo tutorial on the Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge Blog

by Krafty Girl Deborah who shows us how to color a beach scene.

Go check out Krafty Tips & Tuts - Week #19 to learn how. 

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Fusion (the bright colors and flowers were my inspiration)

Love to Create Challenge Blog - Challenge #120 - Anything goes
