A cute little turtle!

Hello everyone and thanks for visiting my blog today!

I decided to play in a few challenges today using this new cute digital image by Meljen's Designs. It was just released today and can be found at Whimsy stamps.

The image has been colored with derwent coloursoft pencils and baby oil for blending.
I used papers are from Stampin up and Basic Grey. I embellished with some polka dots ribbon which I had forever, a couple of butterflies with sticky pearls, and then a button and some grosgrain ribbon. Stickles was applied to the turtle's hearts and the butterflies, as well as the circles on the pink designer paper. To finish it off I did some sewing with my sewing machine.

I started out with the sketch from this week's Mojo Monday but had to change a couple of things to make it work for me. The colors were inspired by this week's Color Dare Challenge with the colors pear pizzaz, perfect plum and pretty in pink. I don't have any pear pizzas so I used a certain celery tone and for my purple I used eggplant.

Then at stamps r us the challenge is "animals", and stamp fairy wants to see circles. Critter sketch challenge has the theme of distressing and circles, and then of course I'd love to enter my card also to this week's Meljen's challenge, and they would like to see hearts (the cute little turtle is covered in hearts!).

I was going to make a valentine's card but then I thought the colors would be perfect for a baby card so I decided to make a welcome baby card instead. The purple does show up a little darker on the picture than what it is in real life. Sorry about that!

That should be all for today, I have another fun card scheduled to go tomorrow for the new stamp something challenge, hope you'll check back!

Have a wonderful day!
