SUNNY DAY CRAFTING CHALLENGE #28 ALWAYS ANYTHING GOES

Hello,
There is a new challenge starting today at
SUNNY DAY CRAFTING
The theme is...
ALWAYS ANYTHING GOES

Here is my inspiration card for the challenge...

Here is what I used to make my card....
Digital stamp by: The East Wind
Digi image colored with Marco Raffine Colored Pencils.
The Paper Studio 4.5"x6.5" 'Mirabelle'
Core'dinations ColorCore Cardstock 'Black Magic'
Prima Marketing Comfort Craft Distressing Tool
Lace and Flowers from my dear friend Mary.
Tattered Lace Dies
Tim Holtz Distressed Ink 'Mustard'
Zots Glue Dots
White cardstock paper and flatback pearls are from my stash.

Using white paper to make the card, I glued the patterned
paper in the center. After cutting the ColorCore cardstock, to
where it fits in the corners, I used the distressing tool around
each side and on the top, so that the color underneath shows through.
Then glued both in place. I then cut a piece of lace and glued it
across the bottom of the card. My dear hubby added distressed ink
on the sides of the image. After it was dry, I added glue dots to
the back of the image and added it onto the card. Then glued the
stems and flowers next to the image and glued three pearls above
the image.
Thanks to my dear husband, as he is the photographer for all my cards. :)

And that's my DT card.
I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.

Happy Crafting,

Digital stamp by Sasayaki Glitter
Digi image colored with Marco Raffine Colored Pencils.
Patterned Paper/Heart Charm - gift from my friend Mary
Zots Glue Dots
Tim Holtz Sizzix Woodlands Thinlits Die
White/red cardstock paper from my stash.

Using white paper, I made the card. Then glued red paper in the center.
I then cut to fit the patterned paper and glued it in the center of the
red paper. After cutting the red paper to frame behind the digi image,
I glued those together and added glue dots on the back and placed it at
an angle on the right side of the card. Using small pieces of glue dots
on the back of the tree, I added it to the left side of the card. I then
cut red paper to frame behind the sentiment, then glued both together.
Using glue on the center and glue dots on each end, I added the 

sentiment to the card. I then glued the heart charm at an angle 

between the image and tree.

ran the digi image through the machine. After cutting blue paper to
frame behind the digi image, I used the next size up frame die and
ran it through the machine. Then I glued the framed image onto the
blue paper frame and glued that onto the center of the card. Using
two die cut feathers, I glued them together and added them at an
angle to the left side of the image. Then using paper string, I made
a bow and glued it onto the feather's stems.

LETS CRAFT & CREATE CHALLENGE #120 Christmas/New Year

Hello Dear Friends,
We have a new challenge starting today over at
LET'S CRAFT AND CREATE
The theme for this challenge is...
Christmas/New Year
There is a lovely prize to be won too, so come join in the fun!

Here is my inspiration card for the challenge...

Here is what I used to make my card...

Digital stamp by Mo's Digital Pencil

Digi image colored with Spectrum Noir Markers,
Marco Raffine Colored Pencils and a white Glaze Gelly Roll Pen.
The Paper Studio 4.5"x6.5" 'Mirabelle'
Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations Thinlits Dies 'Woodlands'
Zots Glue Dots and Beacon Gem-Tac Glue
Red/white ribbon and pearls are from my dear friend Mary.
Unbranded Snowflake die
White/red/green cardstock paper, beads, lace tape and flowers 

from my stash.

Using white paper, I made the card. I glued the green patterned paper in 

the center, then added the striped patterned paper in the center of that. I 

added a strip of red patterned paper on the bottom center. After cutting 

the red and the green patterned paper to frame behind the image, I glued 

the red paper to the back of the image, then glued the snowflake in place 

onto the green paper. Then glued all of them together and added the 

image at a slant onto the side of the card. I then glued the ribbon across 

the bottom of the card, tucking the ends under the green paper. Then 

added the lace tape over the red paper and slightly over the ribbon, then 

tucked in the ends under the green paper. Next I added small pieces of 

a glue dot behind the tree and added it to the side of the card, with the 

trunk behind the ribbon. Then glued the three pearls onto the tree. I 

applied glue to every other bead and added them to the card, over the 

lace and ribbon. After adding a glue dot to the back of each flower I 

placed them below the image and slightly over the beads.

And that's my DT card.
I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.

Happy Crafting,
