Welcome to June!

It’s the 1^st of June… and QKR Stampede is launching its first once-a-month challenge (switching from weekly for the summer.) 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 the Eureka Digital Stamp named Time for Tea. I colored and fussy-cut the image, then adhered it onto some pretty patterned paper (that resembled wallpaper.) A fine-line permanent Sharpie marker helps me to add the stray hairs surrounding her pretty head. I wanted to add a lacy tablecloth with an embossing folder and a scrap of vellum but it didn’t turn out quite as I had planned. Although I like that her legs and the wallpaper show through a bit, I think if I used a different folder with a smaller pattern it would look more like a lacy tablecloth. The front and inside sentiments are both freebies and a little puffy heart stickers add some color to the inside of the card.

A Perfect Time to Craft 2020-Anything Goes- Challenge #6-2020

Since it’s the first of the month, I also get to share my DT card for the May Sheepski Designs Challenge. This month’s theme is “Your Favorite Colours” and since I love Christmas, I love red and green! For this card, I used a fun digi named Camouflage, paired with a cute little ladybug that was cropped from a QKR Stampede digi.  The leaves that I added to the branch were hand-sketched on sage green cardstock then colored and fussy cut.  I added a vellum oval behind the chameleon and his friend didn't blend into the background!

Outlawz Challenge- Saturday Paper Ala Mode- Encouragement            

Outlawz Challenge- Inlinks Challenge
Crafty Hazelnut’s Patterned Paper Challenge- May                                 

I recently won several digis from The Paper Shelter and this sweet little beauty was one of my picks! I decided to perch her onto a tag that I made from a scrap of beautiful paper, added a scrap of sheer ribbon, dark green die-cut flourishes and several pretty fabric flowers. The final touch was a transparent oval “Wish” sticker that I purchased from Oriental Trading Company’s after-Christmas sale back in 2008. (I remember the year, because it was just before a major move and my hubby gave me a hard time about all the craft items I had just purchased. He complained that we’d have to transport the additional boxes of stuff- and there were several- to our new home. He actually said that I already had enough craft supplies. I don’t think that is even possible, is it? Especially when the supplies were 60-70% off!)
