TECC 28 and Blog Candy!

I love all the sketches that are floating out there. Sometimes its nice to use someone else's ideas and this sketch from Taylor's Cupcake Challenge sparked my interest. Plus, I had new Basic Grey Eva paper from ScrapLovers to use and new Tweet stamps from Pink Cat Studio.
I LOVE the look of the airbrushing with Nesties, but I don't have any Copics, so I had to be creative. I used my Nesties as a stencil, but used chalk ink and a stippling brush. WAY happy with the results and will be trying this on everything. :)

ETA:BLOG CANDY IS NOW CLOSED. THANKS! DRAWING SOON!
Because You Are Appreciated Blog Candy:
I wasn't paying attention to my blog anniversary, and I missed 10, 15, and 25,000 hits...SO, its blog candy time for no reason, well how about because you are great?! :) I have 2 RAKs to give away. They are full of fun stuff and all you have to do to win is leave a comment (as long as you live in the US or Canada)! I will draw winners that leave a comment in this post on Wednesday. Thanks as always for stopping by! I hope you realize how much I appreciate and enjoy all the wonderful comments and support each of you provide!!! ((HUGS))

Great card...I too love the look of the airbrushing with Copics, but a) don't have the airbrush system and b) don't have the patience to mask everything. Thanks for the chance - all the hits are because your work rocks! :o)

Hi Kim,
Your blog is in my google reader so that I won't miss a single one of your fabulous posts. Every time I visit your blog I am inspired. Your work is wonderful. I especially love your li'l bird card. So cute. I am definitely going to try the masking thing with my Nesties and chalk ink. I love the effect it gives. (Especially for those of us without Copics. LOL!)
Thanks again for posting all of your amazing work and for the chance to win your fun blog candy!! *Ü*
