Kim's ATC is so soft and pretty, she used Dressing Up Girl and that pearl necklace has GOT to be the perfect touch:

We have a few more tropical ATC's to share with you this week, and I'm certainly feeling the theme this week.  I love my new home in California - the weather is 80-85 degrees every day and no clouds to be seen.  Heaven.
Anyway - here we go, my first ATC uses this sweet Saturated Canary image, colored with Prismacolor pencils and mineral spirits:

My next ATC uses a digi stamp is from The Angel Company, colored with Prismacolor markers.  I used purple gemstone stickers and the "HAPPY" word is a sticker:

Denice made this delicious-looking tropical drink ATC, love the fruits hanging over the edge:

Sharon's gorgeous Michelle Perkett mermaid image looks even prettier with those gemstones in her hair:

AND we have our fabulous guest designer Jen with us today, who used our sponsor's prize image, Michelle Perkett's Leilani:

I just adore that sand and blue sky!

Wicked Wednesday #31 - Totally Tropical

Hi everyone - happy Wednesday!  I literally JUST arrived in California late last night, after driving for four days all the way across the country.  So I apologize for posting this late.  The drive went smoothly and I love our house.  But let's get to business!

Congrats, San Hoogland!  Please send me an e-mail to JennBorj@yahoo.com with "WW #30 Winner" in the subject line and I'll get your prize out to you.

Now let's get on to this week's challenge, our sponsor this week is:

And our new theme is:
Totally Tropical

One random winner this week will receive their very own Leilani image from MPS, the same image that myself and the DT are creating with.

I used some DP from Stampin' Up! that I have had in my stash for a very long time (like at least 8 years - holy cow!), and colored my image with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits:

Chelsea used the text from the image in a cool strip that she layered across the ATC - how clever:

Denice's ATC just screams tropical, does it not?

Megan's bright colors and pink flowers are so pretty:

Sharon kept the focus of her ATC on the beautifully colored image:
 
Thank you so much for joining us again and we sure do hope you'll play along with us and link up below!  Peace.

Saturday Reminder - Spring Fever

Hello everyone - I take off for California today with my family, moving from the East coast to the West!  Wish me luck!  :)  Before I go, here's our Saturday reminder post for your enjoyment.

We used some more of our sponsor's sweet images (Heather Ellis digi stamps), my first ATC is done in purples with a pretty sentiment from TLC:

And my next ATC uses a word digi image from Just Some Lines:

Denice gives us some fabulous humor this week, and I love how she kept most of the images uncolored, it just looks so cool:

Chelsea's beautiful coloring is all that's needed to make this ATC beautiful:

 Megan has a way of coloring that just makes me so envious, love her shading and the white lines she uses:

Sharon used this beautiful bird and nest image to make her Spring ATC, love that quote:

Hope you'll join us and link up (post below) your Spring Fever ATC!  Peace.
