It's challenge time!

Head on over to the Delightful Inspiration blog where I was inspired this week. It's a great daffodil image and it just makes me want spring that much more!! If you play this week, you get next weeks image free, how great is that? Please see second card in this post
Here is my card for the "other challenge' on CDAC. We had to use a designed to Delight image and mix two different types of patterned paper.

I used the same layout in both but mixed it up a little. The sentiment on the bottom card is from SU as are the papers. The sentiment on the first card was a freebie at TLC.
Have a great day!

It's challenge time!

Its time for the Hambo Hoedown. Those who played last week got this awesome Hero Bird image free to play with this week. You can still play along even if you didn't enter last week go here for more details :

On my card I used Basic Grey papers, glittered the medal and beak, added rhinestones, and stitched the edging with a cooper glitter pen. I chose to break up the sentiment and popped the main image :)

Designed to delight challenge

 Here is my entry for the Designed to Delight challenge. If you play along you get sent a freebie image the next week! How cool is that? Check it out here:

The image has stitching in it already so I added stitching around the outside of the card  and along the cloudy paper. This image would be perfect for paper piecing!
Have a great day :)

Hambo Hoedown. Challenge #3

Can I just tell you how much I love these stamps. The make me giggle! This week was to use a pelican in a beach theme card. You had to use blue, tan, and brown colours. You can enter here:

And here is my card:

Ok here are the details: I ripped my tan paper and sponged the edges in brown. I then glittered the edges.
The water is meant to look like waves using a border punch. I free-hand made the pier and tied twine around it (it is popped off the page) I then coloured the pelican and glittered the fish. He is also popped up. I left the sentiment pretty generic so I can use it for anything. I was going to use " your quite a catch" but I don't know where I'd used it (or give it to). I then faux stitched around the edging. Hope this makes you smile like it made me :)

A day for daisies challenge

I made this vintage card for a challenge at A Day For Daisies. The image was a freebie and just stunning as all the images there are! You still have time to play so head on over and add your card!

Here is my card.  I distressed the edges and did some tearing. I added glitter to the rose and a butterfly that is embossed. I also added the word cherish. I find that smelling a flower can bring back some fond memories, so I thought this would be fitting :)

DYSU-dots challenge

I am entering this into the DYSU challenge blog found here:
http://www.doyoustackup.blogspot.com/
The theme this week is dots. I was making a card using Glitterbabes freebie stamp and thought I would enter into this challenge as well  :)

I added rhinestones in the middle of the flowers and on the "I"  in the birthday sentiment. Sorry about the picture it was dark outside when I finished it up :)

A day for daisies challenge

This is my first ever entry at A Day For Daisies challenge blog.

The challenge was to use metallics in your card. Wow-did I struggle with this one. I originally had used the freebie digi offered this week but I found it hard to use such a delicate image with the hardness of metals. So I opted to use another image from them. Here is my card entry with lots of metallics :)

Card is silver cardstock, and mermaid had both metallic silver added to her tail as well as her eyelids. Enjoy!
