3 New Cards

Hi all.  Today, I am posting some of my own, original work.  The Imagine That design team post will probably be tomorrow or Monday.  Meanwhile, I have been very busy.  My supply of cards is dwindling since my last big sale and I really need to replenish them.  My first card is made from one of my Zentangle® tiles.  I decided to attach it to the card with washi tape.  I was giving a demo in my stamping club and was showing some fun ways to use washi  tape.  

The second card is also done with washi tape for my demo.  Yep, that's washi tape
on the bottom of the card.

 The third card is one that I did for some challenges.  I will list them below...

This card is entered into the following challenges:

Delightful Challenges "You Have my Heart" challenge

Addicted to Stamps "CAS" challenge

Whoopsi Daisy "Tic Tac Toe" challenge (flowers, die cuts & digi)

Sentimental Sundays "More than 3 Layers + Sentiment" challenge

Meljen's Designs "Not Just Black & White" challenge

I hope you enjoy my original work for a change.  Let me know if you
would like to see more.

Till next time...

Imagine that Design Team Card and 2 others.

Hi again.  I sure have been busy this week.  I've been sick and haven't left the house since last Friday so I have had time to work on some cards, between resting and naps.  The first card I want to show you is one that I made for Digi Darla's challenge.  The subject was Fins, Feathers or Fur.  No, I did not do a kitty!  I wanted to use a digi stamp from her site.  I looked through a bunch that I have on file, but I decided that the pair of parrots would be the most challenging one.  I Printed the stamp and colored with Copic markers, Spectrum Noir markers and Sharpie markers.  I also used some Perfect Pearls powders to give the birds some shimmer.  I don't think you can see that in the pic.  The rest of the card was die cut, and embossed.  The feather at the top was painted red with a Copic marker.

The second card that I did was made for my new neighbor and friend, who has been so kind to have driven me to the Dr. and all over and brought me food and gotten my mail.  She has a dog named Butters and I found an image that I printed and colored to look like Butters.  I even found this great designer paper that I thought was perfect for this small thank you note.  I even made the envelope with the same paper.  I added the punched butterfly and added some glitter pen to it.  I thought it looked like he was looking up at something, so I thought the butterfly was perfect!  She really loved it!

Now, for my Imagine That Dt card.  The digi image is called Fuschia and Hummingbird.  It is a lovely image and I added her sentiment about grace, that goes with the set.  You can see the whole set, here:

After printing the image and coloring it in, I die cut the image, along with some beautiful designer paper, to use as a frame.  I pop dotted it on to a bright fuchsia card stock and added Teariffic tape around the card and sprinkled some glitter that complimented the colors.  I love doing this technique!  The vine is die cut and glued over the image piece.  How is that for bright?  I also added Perfect Pearls to the bird and flowers, but again, it really is not visible in the pic.  

Well, that's all I have for today.  Please check out the other beautiful projects that the girls have been working so hard on, and give them a little love!  I could use some of that too, so please leave me a comment also.  We really want to hear from you.  It makes what we do a lot more fun if we know that people enjoy our work!

Till next time...

Imagine That Sweet-Tea

Hi all.  This is my first card for the Imagine That Design Team.  I have been playing along with their

progressive challenge for several months and was invited to join the design team, starting this month.  My first official DT card is called Sweet Tea.  I printed the image 2 times, once on wihte card stock and again on designer paper and the saying, just on the white.  I colored the birds with Copic and Spectrum Noir markers.  Then, I fussy cut the tea cup and glued it over the blank white teacup.  This is called paper piecing.  I have never done this with a digi stamp before, but why not?  It was done just the same way as if done with any other stamp!  I used a Spellbinders dies for the image and sentiment.  I sponged around both of them while they were still in the dies, in order to give the white frame look.  I put a ribbon through the sentiment die cut and mounted both of them on a background that I had made a while back and then on a teal card base that matched the color in the teacup.  I am pleased with the way it turned out.  I hope you like it too.

Love Birds
