Flower Power

It's Wednesday! So time for another challenge at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge Blog.  Penny's challenges are always Anything Goes and prizes are awarded from one or more sponsors.  Stop by the blog to check it out! (pennyschallenges.blogspot.com)

This week, I used a digi set from Oddball Art  named "CoolHippie Flower Power Peace Van." When I saw this set, that includes both a plain and a decorated van, I knew that I wanted to use it to make a card with a great freebie sentiment, "You Add Color To My Life" from Desert Diva. Added a small rainbow upcycled from an old piece of stationery and puffy stickers that I recently found at Hobby Lobby to decorate the inside sentiment. The sentiments on the front of the card are computer generated. Am entering the card into several challenges including Power Poppy's Creative Confetti "Half and Half" [where an image is cut in half, with one half colored. My take on the challenge is a bit different as I have two images… one is colored, one is not] and the Do-Al[l] Challenge that requires we show something twice on a project. [I'm hoping that the two vans will qualify, even though when colored they are no longer identical.].

The new Butterfly Challenge focuses on the letter "Y".  My first entry for this challenge features a lovely digi from Beccy's Place that I made into a tag, colored with Spectrum Noir markers and white gel pen. The card includes the color Yew (in the small butterfly and sequin flowers) and the theme Image ("You" in the sentiment). Note- you can find the freebie digi here. Am entering this into a few challenges including Simon Says Monday Challenge, "Recycle Something" [the flower sequins were cut from an old sweater that I found at a local thrift store], and Tuesday Outlawz Color Challenge Bingo [Diagonal from lower left to upper right- sequins, free space, and dotted swiss background, but its blue vs. the pink on the ribbon]

This is my third card for Bugaboo Stamps 9th Annual Monster Birthday Bash. Monday's Challenge is an "Anything But a Card" Challenge. A sweet friend crocheted a Christmas towel that I gave to my MIL. In response, I made her a packet of cards that she can send to her grandchildren. Her nine-year-old grandson loves football and is also an artist. So I made a refrigerator magnet for him. Printed off a copy of the Bugaboo image named "Football Boy" and made it into a refrigerator magnet by adding a large square of an adhesive magnet sheet to the back. I colored the little guy's skin, silver cleats and silver face mask on the helmet because those items can be hard to color with crayons or school markers but left the remainder of the image uncolored. Wanted the little artist that will receive the card to be able to finish coloring the image and then proudly display it on their fridge. [I did attach the magnet to the front of an A2 card front with repositionable tape for easier mailing.] I decorated that card front with a digi sentiment from Eureka Stamps named "Believe" that you can find here]  I left the inside of the card blank so that Grandma can use it for any occasion.

My fourth card for Bugaboo Stamps 9th Annual Monster Birthday Bash is for Tuesdays BINGO Challenge. The shape card features a Bugaboo image named "Peeker March." I don't know if Leprechauns are ever girls [in real life!] but mine is because she is being sent to a little four-year-old sweetheart named Lucy. I think she'll like getting a card on St. Patrick's Day. [Note, I colored the gold coins on the image brown to add the long hair.] My card incorporates the first BINGO column- die-cut [shape card], Gem [three green ones on hat] and ribbon [a wee bit 'o gold, of course.] The great sentiment on the front of the card is a freebie from TLC Creations.
