Seasons of Cards

It’s Friday, so time for another challenge at QKR Stampede!  Stop by the challenge, which is always “Anything Goes” and several prizes are awarded. Maybe you’ll be inspired to enter a card or two yourself? My DT card features three digis from Eureka Stamps: Butterfly & Sunflower,  You're Special, and Wonderful Day. I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Coloring System alcohol markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen. The beautiful red and gold frame are upcycled from an old Christmas card. Am entering this into several challenges, including the Butterfly Challenge (one color- Napa Red, one theme-Butterfly) and Cute Card Thursday Challenge #605 (The gold pattern in the frame sparkles a bit.)

This weeks sponsor for the Colour Crazy Challenge is Ching-Chou Kuik and I created my DT card with a great image named “Winter Cuddle.” I colored the sweet image with Spectrum Noir markers and a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen then adhered her to a cardfront made with sheet music and vellum. The snowflakes were made with a Lawn Fawn die set. The inside sentiment is from a Beccy’s Place digi set named “The Nativity.”

My final card for this post was created for the 2019 Cat Lover’s Hop. I love this sweet image from Little Scrap of Heaven named “Cat with BOOloons.” (This digi is on sale right now for just $1.) I printed the cat in grey, then added depth and highlights with Spectrum Noir markers and Aquarelle watercolor pencils. (Decided the cute kitty would be a grey tabby with stripes instead of the typical black cat.) I traced the BOOloons onto vellum, fussy-cut them, the adhered them to a few layers of patterned paper that decorated the card front with a small strip of double-stick tape.  The sentiments are from a Hero Arts Digital Set named Spooky Labels (sadly, no longer available since A2zscrapbooking is closing its doors.)
