Magic of May

 Hello Friends! 

Thanks for stopping by to take a look at the card I created for Paper FunDay Challenge #41.

As always the Challenge is Anything goes with an optional twist/ Family. 

A HUGE Thank You to the May Sponsors, Colour Of Love and Dr.Digi's House Of Stamps!

The image I am working with today is Alchemy from Dr.Digi.

I used alcohol markers to color the image, then scanned the colored image back to make it a tad larger to use this as my main focus on this card. I fussy cut the image out and glued it to black card stock. I then cut the image out a second time just to give it a slight frame in black.

I used a piece of holographic card stock and sprayed some gold accent on top. I let that dry and added the chunky glitter for an added magical effect.

I chose this lovely astronomical clock as a background for my Alchemy image.

Now as a true Potterhead, I had to go with one of my favorite J.K.Rowling quotes as my sentiment.

I added a bit of Wink Of Stella to my potion bottle and my sentiment. I pieced it together and attached to a black cardstock base. This has been one of my favorite cards to create .

I hope you enjoyed the card and I cant wait to see your entries over at Paper FunDay Challenge.

Spring has Sprung

 It's a new month and time for another Challenge over at Paper FunDay. Our April challenge #40 is as always, Anything goes with an optional twist April Showers.

A HUGE thank you to our lovely sponsors this month!! Jan's Digi Stamps and Lee Holland Art!!!

The card I created and Im sharing with you today is using a lovely image from  Lee Holland Art, Panda on a Branch.

I used alcohol markers to give him color and because I knew Id be trying to incorporate bamboo in the card, I decided to give him a bamboo branch.

I also purchased a bamboo digital so I could create my frame and just repeated it until I was happy with my bamboo forrest. 

I used a die to cut out the window and then some foam tape to stand the frame up off of the image.

I gave it a black frame to place it on the card base.

To complete this card, I gave it a sweet sentiment and some green iridescent stickers for added interest.

I hope you enjoyed stopping by and taking a look at my card today and I hope to see your entry over at this months Challenge at Paper FunDay!

The image I am using on the card Id like to share with you is Butterfly Background. I chose to make it my main image on my card. 

I colored the image first with alcohol markers and then scanned it and printed it out on velum. I set the image on a piece of light pink card stock so the colors would pop!

I also printed a background of an image of a field of flowers to frame my image and the layered that onto the black card base. I used a Spellbinder's die as my sentiment, cut out of black card stock and glued to the front of my card.

I am excited to share a card I have been working on for this months Paper Funday challenge.

A HUGE 'Thank YOU' to our awesome sponsors for February All Dressed Up and Polkadoodles!

This months challenge #38 is of course ANYthing goes with the optional twist/ Hugs and Kisses

The image I chose to work with is called Mermaid Kisses from All Dressed Up.

For the base I used alcohol inks on Yupo paper to created a colorful underwater background. I printed my mer-girl on yardstick and colored her with alcohol markers and then fussy cut her out with detail scissors.

 

I also used Stampin Ups Sea Dies for the frame and kissing fishes. I used the sentiment from the coordinating stamp set Seas The Day.

I printed a second Mermaid on frosted velum. I glued the colored card stock mer-girl on the background and layered the velum copy on top and sandwiched those under the frame to create my card front.

I used some die cut aquatic plants to layer on top for added interest. and of course to finish this card I added Wink of Stella on her tail, fishes fins and bubbles!

Thanks for stopping by to look at my creation, I hope to see yours over at Paper FunDay Challenge!!

Holiday Time

 Happy December Friends!!!

This year flew by for me, I can not believe Christmas is upon us!!

Well that means a new challenge over at Paper FunDay Challenges!! Challenge #36

Anything goes of course with the optional Twist/Holiday Time

A huge Thank You!!! to our sponsors this month Polkadoodles andMy Besties!!

The image I am using this month is Lily Bug Love/Sending Love. I wanted to use this adorable image this month to be out of the obvious Christmas Card theme.

I colored the image using colored pencils and then heat embossed her wings and hat and cute little shoes.

I also heat embossed the dots for the background and the sentiment.

  

I used my Spellbinders die for her image and the used Tim Holtz Distress Ink around the edges.

I used the same ink for the sentiment. I could not find a font that really went well with this card so I decided to break out of my comfort zone and free hand script. I used dots for ladybug( I thought it was perfect for the card!)

I had fun with this card and I really hope to see your entry over at https://paperfundaychallenges.blogspot.com!

Thanks for stoping in and viewing my card!!

Grateful-Season

 Happy November friends!

Its a new month and that means a brand new challenge over at Paper FunDay Challenge Blog.

This month challenge #35 is as always Anything Goes with an optional Twist: Give Thanks/Grateful.

A HUGE thank You to our sponsors this month, CAS_ual Fridays Stamps and Artsy Stamper.

This month I am using the gorgeous set from Artsy Stamper,  Seaside Holiday set.

I printed out and colored this seaside scene and added some grass using colored pencils. I used my Spellbinders die that reminds me of a treasure map for the frame. I went around the edges and gave it a more distressed look using my Tim Holtz Distress Inks.

I went with this beautiful DSP from Stamping Up and a fish net die I had for the background. I just love this ribbon I purchased from my local Dollar Tree as well. I just thought the added color pop in the back was just what it needed. I also used a glue pen to outline and go over the sentiment and added some clear embossing powder on it to make it stand out.

To finish this very Florida Christmas Card, I added an image of the seashore with pilings to frame my inside sentiment as well. A small jute bow on the front to complete the card. 

I hope to see your awesome entries over at Paper FunDay Challenge Blog.

Thank you for stoping by!

Trick-Or-Treat

Hello Friends, It's time for another challenge over at Paper FunDay.

 October Challenge #34- As always its Anything goes with an Optional Twist/ Halloween and/or Use Purple in your project.

Our awesome sponsors this month are Fred She Said and Paper Nest Dolls.

The card I have to share with you guys today, I made using Fred She Said/Halloween Emma.

I thought it would be fun to make a shaker card using a new die cut frame I got.

I also used a piece of a die cut sleeve that was torn on the side for my shaker windows. I played it out and placed the die on and ran it through my Big Shot!

 

I planned out colors for the card base, frame, and a patterned background. I used the sentiment from the set and die cut and distressed that as well

Once I had all the elements planned and played out, it was time to make shaker magic!!!!

I chose some Halloween themed confetti using bats, Jack'o lanterns, and spiders. I added some foam strips to encase my blings and then placed the background patterned paper on top, flipped it around and gave it a shake to make sure my goodies stayed in!!!

Halloween has always been such a fun holiday for me, I can remember most every costume I have ever trick-or-treated in!!! And candy................................ still one of my favorite parts!!! I had a lot of fun creating this card and so glad you stopped in to check it out!

I hope to see all of you over at Paper FunDay Challenge!!
