New Month, New Cards...

Hi all.  Well, March did come in like a lion, so I am told.  However, here in FL, I think we hit some record highs!  We had our coldest weather at the end of February but when March came, it suddenly turned into Spring.  I know you folks up north will be blessed with better weather, soon.  Meanwhile, I have been working on some card that I would like to share.  The first one is the D.O.T.M. (design of the month) which means a new challenge at Imagine That Digi Stamps.  I am very excited to show you this card.  Kris did an amazing job, designing these digi stamps.  Remember, if you played in the challenge last month, you can have the free digi to use in the challenge, this month.

I used a combination of glitter gel pens, alcohol markers, sponged ink and some die cuts.  The background is designer paper from the set.  It is called Pretty Peacocks and I definitely think they are!

Check out all of the other great digi stamps while you are there.  By the way, there is also another challenge that they have every month where you use any Imagine That Digi stamp.

The next card that I am showing is a card that I made from an adorable clear set that came with the January issue of Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine.

I stamped the image on watercolor paper and used my new Prismacolor watercolor pencils.  It was my first try and I am rather pleased with the outcome.  I just love the die cut grass that I used on both of these cards.  The die cut is from My Favorite Things.

I hope you enjoy seeing my cards.  Please let me know that you visited by leaving a comment in the comment section, below.  It really means a lot to me!

Till next time...

February Digi of the Month

Hi all.  I am a bit behind on getting my Digi of the Month (D.O.T.M.) DT inspiration card done.  I have finished it and would like everyone to get a chance to play in this month's challenge.  If you played last month, you should already have the new stamp set called Mailbox Kitties.  If not, you can purchase it from the store.  The price has been reduced from $3.00 to $1.95.  In fact, all of the older stamps have been reduced!  There is even a new category of $1 digis.  Now is the time to go to the store and pick up the ones that you don't already own.  My DT card for this month was done a little differently from what I usually do.  After I colored the image with alcohol markers, I fussy cut it and made several layers to place the image onto.  I used a lace heart doily, a couple of layers of cardstock, one of which I dry embossed with my heart embossing folder.  I used my new ribbon from the Dollar Tree and added a couple of threaded buttons.  

Don't forget to play along with our Feb. Digi of the Month challenge.  Please be sure to check out the other designers' projects while you are at the site.  

Till next time...
