Three Seasons

It's 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!

For this challenge, my DT card features a sweet image from Digi Doodle Studios named Lonnie’s In Love. I wanted to give the card a springtime feeling, so I upcycled a scenic calendar page that pictures a beautiful field of flowers for the background. Lonnie and his furry friend carry some of those lovely blooms across a tri-fold shutter card.  

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Digi Doodle Studios (Lonnie’s in Love)

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

·   Instructions for Tri-Fold Shutter Card HERE

·   Sentiments- Computer Generated

·   Cardstock and background papers from my stash

·   Upcycled calendar page

Crafty Hazelnut’s Patterned Paper Challenge- October 

This card is my first entry into Double D’s current Challenge named “Wreaths.” When organizing my craft room I found this wonderful image that I’d stamped years ago in a box of partial cards. I made a few decades ago with an Embossing Arts wood-mount stamp. I colored the image with chalk and markers, then added drifts of Polar White Flower Soft mixed with ultrafine glitter.  A pair of pinecones, a few fussy-cut pine branches, ribbon, free and upcycled sentiments, and gold photo corners finish off the card.

Supplies: 

·   Stamped Image- Embossing Arts (Farm Scene) Company is no longer in business

·   Colored with Decorative chalks, Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Front Sentiment- Birdscards Freebie (Merry Christmas)

·   Inside Sentiment- upcycled from an old card

·   Assorted background papers from my stash

·   Polar white Flower Soft- from Katy Sue Designs mixed with ultrafine glitter from my stash

·   Gold photo corners available from several web sources (WXJ13 13 Sheets 13 Colors Photo Mounting Corners)

·   Pinecones- Stampin’ Up Retired stamp set (Ornamental Pine)
