A New Store & New DT For Me!!


 Is that not the cutest name and badge first of all?!!  LOL!!  I am VERY proud to announce that I have been "adopted" by this really awesome brand new digital stamp company called *Wink*Wink Ink Digital Designs!! (click on the name to see all the super sweet images for sell!!)

I happened to get a very sweet e-mail from a reader named Rachael who had asked if I would be willing to help the company get things together for a design team and a few other things.  She provided a link for me to take a look...and well...that's ALL there was to it!! LOL!!  These are some super sweet images done by a very busy and talented lady Melanie!  (click their names to see their blogs!)  They are both very sweet ladies and I'm honored to be apart of a team with them!!  I've had some pretty awesome conversations with them both!  They are also planning a design team call shortly, so as soon as I have some more information on that, I will certainly let you know the details about it!!  Right now Melanie is at ground-floor of getting things put together as she has plans for a new website and several new images!!  (P.S.  She let me have a sneak peek at a couple more she's completed but not released yet and oooooh boy!! She's a girl after my own heart I tell you and when you see them, you'll know why!! LOL!!)

If you are interested in trying one of these images out for yourself, she does offer a freebie that you can collect on her blog site.  She is also looking for people that make creations with her images to add them to the SCS gallery with the keywords winkwinkink so that she can get her company name listed in the gallery!  She really only needs like 6 more creations added!!  So if you make one using one of her images, we would be thrilled to see it in the gallery!!   She also has a group on PCP if you'd like to join in some fun conversation and inspiration over there as well!!  I can't wait to see you around and would LOVE to see your creations!!!

Now, I couldn't let this post go with JUST the announcement of a new company and DT, could I?  So I was blessed with the generosity of Melanie giving me some of these adorable images to play with!!
 
Is this not the sweetest thing or what?!!!  I spotted this little beauty and knew I wanted to create with it right away! ;)  The image is called Blossom Baby (click name to purchase) and I just ADORE those tiny wings!  I also wanted to use some of those yummy Silver Lustre shimmer papers that I have which I've used in the background and I've paired it with some Basic Grey Two Scoops papers.  I also used the strip along the side to emboss a border with my Cuttlebug. The sentiment was generated from the computer.  I've included this little cutie in a few challenges:

Friday Sketchers - yummy sketch
Fluterby Wednesday - open challenge using butterfly, fairy, angel
Digital Tuesday - embossing
Raise The Bar - Use New 
 
And I thought you might like a close-up view of this darling image:

That's what I wanted to be sure to tell you about this afternoon...well now evening time LOL!!  Sorry for so many posts today, but I was ever so excited about this and I hope you are too!! ;)  These girls are just the sweetest!  So be sure to check out their blogs to say hi and be watching my blog for lots more creations from this new company!!  Thanks so much for stopping by!! 
 
**Don't forget to join me again tomorrow morning when there will be another brand new Saturday Spotlight challenge!! **

Rosella said...

Congratulations Vicki!! Not surprised at all, love your creations! They are really great images and do wish her God's blessings in this new venture!!
I do have a question. How do you color the image so that the black ink does not run? I have tried it a couple of times after I print an image and the ink bleads. Would love to know this before I purchase digi stamps. Obviously it workds of you wouldn't be doing it. LOL! Might be the blonde in me, who knows!

Nora said...

Congrats on your new DT post, Melanie's images are really nicely drawn & I like how she's packaged color with black & white for other crafting options. Got a kick out of seeing TAC stamps on Rachel's blog - I know what I can do with them since I sell them, but I want to see what others do.

Love how you colored that precious image - sending luck vibes back at ya - hope you win your challenges!
-hugs-

ps - I've been on the receiving end of a couple of those spam comments - they're such a pain!
