Etsy Inspired Challenge #124 - Too Cute Kawaii

Well thank goodness it's the weekend, phew it's been a long, hard week.

It's time for some cuteness over at Etsy Inspired Challenge.

Our featured shop is Too Cute Kawaii.  They do these adorable little pieces...

The first picture was what started my card off with the green background paper, I then saw the gorgeous polka dots which got me thinking about my pink polka dot ribbon and all of the cuteness reminded me of Lawn Fawn stamps!  As you know I LoVe working with really bright colours so this card makes me happy!

I used the latest Card Patterns sketch #99.  I really do love their sketches, they trigger my imagination.  I can think of so many different ways you could use this simple layout, it's fab!

Our sponsor this week is Meljen's Designs Digital Stamps.  I'm really trying to get a bit quicker with these digital images, but I am a bit of a perfectionist which really doesn't help my cause.  I'm ok just printing in black and white but when I want to change the colour element of it I take FOREVER to get anything done!

Meljen's Designs is a lovely stamp company owned and illustrated by Melissa Jenkins. She illustrates whimsical rubber and digital images inspired by her kids and family.   I chose this freebie image and reduced it right down in size so that I could use it on my typewriter paper... If you look carefully you may be just able to make it out.

The images are SO sweet.  These are the kind of designs I'd like to learn to colour with my Copics.


I'm trying to get into my Copics, so I've been watching lots of videos but most of them talk about colouring in skin and hair.   Unfortunately, they aren't really the images I would work the most with.  I like my little monsters and cupcakes, flowers, butterflies etc, so if you see anything of interest I'd love to hear about it.  I've just signed up to an online Copic course with the hope that I will get a bit better at it.  I keep playing with them, but I'm a bit scared to post anything until I practice a whole lot more lol


So pop on over to check out what the rest of the DT made.  You will also find more information on the blog about the fab prizes..
