Springtime

The weeks are just flying by and here I am again with my DT Inspiration card for the new challenge at Glitter N Sparkle Challenge Blog.

The challenge this week is Anything Goes and I have been sponsored by one of our Sponsors

Lacy Sunshine and the Digi Image is Emily Spring Blossoms.

I think we are all waiting for spring to appear so I used spring colours for my image and a nice bright die cut front .

I used Spectrum Noir Pens to colour image which I then cut out with a spellbinders die. Patterned paper was attached to card blank which you can just see peeking through. The front was cut from pink card with a Tattered Lace die, I then slipped the main image behind the lacy pockets/corners. Sentiment was stamped and punched out, edges were inked and lastly I added some spring blossoms.

There's Magic in the Air

Today I am sharing my DT card for Glitter N Sparkle Challenge Use Some Green which starts today. I have been sponsored by Make It Crafty and the images I have used are Ella Faye also the sentiment There's Magic in the Air.

This is a lovely image to work with and I had great fun bringing Ella Faye to life.

I have used Spectrum Noir to colour Ella Faye, using spring colours of Greens and Yellows, the papers were from my stash, I recently "found" some gorgeous papers hidden away in the bottom of a drawer and as they were all separated I have no idea as to their origin but it was a great find!
I have layered three papers and added some vintage lace. All the edges of the paper and also the image were inked with vintage photo distress ink. Corners are a Spellbinders die which also got the vintage photo treatment.

Time for Love

Hi
Today I am here with my AJ page for the Craft Barn Alpha Challenge with the letter L, I have gone with the word Love not very original I know but while I was sorting out some stamps I came across a set of Hearts and this beautiful verse and a page was born.

my page was firstly brushed with pink and lilac acrylic paint I then stamped with the various heart stamps in same paint (this doesn't show up in the photo, then using various distress inks I built the layers of stamping. The verse was stamped in versafine black and lightly brushed with same paint as it was far to bright and clean for the page. In real life you can read the verse still the photo seems to have dulled the ink........sorry. I added the definition from the dictionary and with a black fine line pen I have drawn some hearts and written the words LOVE and SWALK in various places over the page. Together and Cherish die cuts were added to the page and brushed over with the paint.
Thiss page also fits in with the challenge at Our Creative Corner - Return of the Challenge.

I have chosen to revisit challenge August 1st 2013, Words Words Words, this is a great challenge, also great fun.
