Double DT Cards

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

I made two cards this week, one from each sponsor. My first DT card features a beautiful swallowtail butterfly from Fred She Said. I created a shadow box base to showcase the butterfly, colored with vibrant colors, against a floral backdrop made with an upcycled calendar page. Foliage die cuts, silk flowers, and a sentiment tag finishes the card, which folds flat to fit into a standard A2 envelope.  

 

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Fred She Said (Swallow Tail Butterfly)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Front Sentiment- Cuddly Buddly Crafts (Sugar and Spice Sentiments Digi Stamps)

·   Assorted cardstock, upcycled calendar paper, and silk flowers from my stash

·   Fancy Foliage Dies- Spellbinders Our Daily Bread Designs

·   Instructions for  3-D shadow box card (found HERE.)

My second DT card for Penny’s Paper Crafty Challenge features a sweet little student from Paper Nest Dolls. Her name is Maddie and she is all ready to go o school… when that is once again allowed! I raided my scrapbook stash of paper, stickers, and back to school theme borders to decorate the card that is sure to brighten some little girls first day back to school.

Outlawz Challenge- Inlinks Challenge

A friend is having a baby in a few months. I offered to make their announcements, so am creating an assortment of cards from which they can pick their favorite. This is the second option… so far! The image is a freebie that was fun to color. I added a few computer-generated sentiments, paper pieced the little cuties blanket to add some pattern to the gatefold card, and drew stitches with a white gel pen. (I did add a sentiment on the inside of this card, but if my friend chooses this card, I’ll leave the inside blank so they have room to attach a printed announcement.)

 

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Bodil Surdal’s Freebie (Baby Bear with Balloons)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Sentiments- Computer Generated

·   Assorted background papers from my stash
