Warm Thoughts- The Flower Challenge

Hello and Welcome back.

Time for a reminder card for 

The Flower Challenge

You still have time to play along with us.

This month we are using some of the gorgeous images created by 

Alex Syberia

She is also our Guest this month and has offered a prize of two of her lovely digital designs for our lucky winner!  She has some really beautiful designs in her store.  If you click on her name above, it will take you there.

Our design team will be using some of them for their shaped cards this month too!

So here's what I did to create my card.

This month, we are using Alex's digital images for our cards and the one I am using is called Christmas Frame.  So I took the digi and opened it into my 'Paint' program on my computer.  I sized it bigger as I wanted to use just one of the flower images on my circle card and printed it out.

Next, using my largest Spellbinder circle die, I cut out a circle card base.  When I laid my die onto my folded cardstock, I left it up a bit so that the top would stay intact and together on the fold to create the circle base.

I set that aside and cut a smaller circle that fit inside.  I fussy cut out my digi and coloured it using my Copic makers, then fit it within the smaller circle die cut.

I glued it all together, added the embossed sentiment with pop dots and some blue sequins.

The finishing touch was to add some shiny Nuvo drops to my flower center.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Another wet, rainy Fall day here at my house today so good time for a happy, fun card.

The challenge today at Splitcoast is to create a card with a Halloween/ Harvest theme for children.

I have had this digi image for ages so printed it out then coloured it with Copic markers.  I then die cut it with a Spellbinder oval die and pierced around the edge.  

On the card front I did some random embossing by placing my cardstock into my embossing folder and then hitting it with a rubber mallet.  (Also a good way to get rid of your frustrations!! lol)  

I added the strips of white cardstock behind the image to help draw your eye in but still keeping it very clean and simple.

Curly Girl

Here is a simple card I made using my new digital stamps I won from Clearly iStamp.  Isn't this little one so cute?!  I printed her off then printed off the sentiment.  I coloured her with Copics, then added the bow to her hair and used a circle punch to punch her out.
