It's Quirky Wide Eyes Open!

Hi Quirky people and A Very Happy New Year to you. It's time for the first Quirky Crafts Challenge  of 2014 and it's Cazzy's turn to set the theme and she has chosen....
Eyes Wide Open!
.....which means  anything you make has to have eyes, very wide bright, wide open EYES!! 
Our sponsor this time is Stitchy Bear Stamps and I've used one of their fabulous digi's Delicious Doodles /Stitchy Bear Astrology Aquarius(so this might turn into daughter Emma's birthday card at the end of the month)I've used mostly Blues  to colour her plus silver matt and dark blue card.
The background is one of my own. Acrylic blues and white paints smidged around....when dried I scanned it in and saved it to my comuter. It comes in handy when you need a back ground and don't want to colour it in! I did make the digi PNG first though. All the rest is coloured with ProMarkers. I've added some glitter, which was free from a Crafty Magazine a while ago, called Fairy Sparkle. I ended up dabbing it on with a cocktail stick as I found the bottle was very small and had so little glitter in it, there wasn't enough of it to fill the long pointy lid...and no amount of squeezing could get any of it out! The silver card behind the image has been embossed with butterflies. I've added a blue butterfly, some silver grey eye-lash wool and I've used another embossing folder for the 'happy' and like the image, I've layered it in dark blue card too.
If you're making something crafty, using a Stitchy Bear image why not  pop over and join in not only our Quirky Crafts challenge but One Stitch At A Time Challenge  too!
I think that's it. I'll add a bit more when I get back, so will set Mr Blogger. Hoping to add this  to some..
