Flowers and a Sea Horse

Since it’s the 20^th of the month, I’m sharing a DT card for the August Sheepski Designs FB Challenge. This month’s theme is “I Spy… B” so all entries must feature something that starts with the letter B. I used a beautiful Sheepski Designs digi named “Poppy Field,” which includes Butterflies. I used a simple color scheme so the silhouette digi could take center stage. That said, delicate chalked clouds and an intricate die cut butterfly both nicely compliment the poppy field. The sentiment is computer generated.

I’m entering this card into several challenges including the Butterfly Challenge. This month’s theme is “B is for Bow Fronted Card.” This card features one color (Beau Blue) and one theme (Butterfly.)

2craftycrittercrazies Challenge- August 2020 #41                        

         Since I’m a DT for this months sponsor, Sheepski Designs, I’m entering this challenge just for fun!

I love anything that relates to oceans and beaches… so the current challenge at Pattie’s Creation called to me.  Artist/owner Pattie Gomez is providing a wonderful sea horse as a freebie during August. I printed the digi onto grey parchment cardstock and colored it to compliment the beautiful background paper that I picked up at Hobby Lobby. I fussy-cut one of the anchors from specialty Kraft and metallic scrapbook paper from JoAnnes, tied it onto a strip of gold cording and draped it over a curved sentiment from Imagine That. The inside sentiment is from Bugaboo.

 

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Patties Creations (Sea Horse) Digi is the August Freebie

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

·   Front Sentiment- “Swishing by to say Hi” Imagine That digi set (Mermaid Swimming)  

·   Inside Sentiment- “Wishing You Oceans of Joy” Bugaboo Stamps (Under the Sea digi set)

·   Golden wave patterned paper from Hobby Lobby

·   Kraft paper with golden anchors from JoAnnes

·   Small star with anchor embellishment created with a paper punch and small sticker from my stash

·   Other assorted cardstock and gold cord from my stash

My final card this post features a sweet new image from All Dressed Up named, appropriately “Sunflower.” I decided to color it with decorative chalks so that I could enter it into the Outlawz Crash Your Stash challenge. (However, when finished the colored image looks a bit too blah, so I have to confess that I added a bit of grey alcohol marker for shading and white gel pen for highlights.) I used a strip from an upcycled calendar that featured sunflowers. Don’t you think that the inside sentiment, from We Are 3, is the perfect fit for the card?!

·   Front Sentiment “Hello”- Scrapbook&Cards magazine Freebie
