Hello March (Take Two)

It’s the first of the month which means it’s time for a challenge at Sheepski Designs. This month’s theme is “Girls, Girls, Girls” and I used one of my favorite Sheepski Designs digis, named Emmy’s Hat, for my DT card. I wanted it to be really girly, so I created an ornate background with a sheet of Crafters Companion patterned paper that features a wonderful frilly design. I fussy-cut around the frills so that I could tuck the top of Emmy’s hat under them. I also cut a rose from the background paper to decorate the wide brim. Additional fussy-cut frills decorate the lower front left corner and the inside of the card. Silver photo corners add a final touch of elegance and… well… bling!
PS Stop by the Sheepski blog to learn more about the monthly challenges. Maybe you’ll be inspired to enter a card or two yourself and have a chance to win some wonderful digis created by artist Andrea Norris!

Outlawz Challenges- Monday Greeting Challenge- Make it Feminine

I recently had a request from our church for Get Well and Sympathy cards and printed off a few Bugaboo images and Imagine That sentiments to quickly meet the request. I often add butterflies to sympathy cards to symbolize new life and this delicate butterfly, from a free set  I found on the web a few years ago, is one of my favorites. I printed it on vellum to add a bit of translucent realism. After fussy-cutting and attaching the butterfly to the card, I cut a body from a scrap of black paper, then added the head and antennae with a fine-line Sharpie black marker (after first sketching them with a pencil to determine size and placement.) 

I’m entering this card into several challenges including the Butterfly Challenge (two colors- Iceberg and Inch Worm, plus two themes-marker pens and a butterfly), Outlawz Twisted Thursday Anything Goes (Circle in a Square- the closeup shows that I added circles of light around the candle flame with yellow chalk and a white gel pen, plus a little rhinestone sparkling in the center), 2craftycrittercrazies Challenge (butterflies are one of my favorite categories of “critter”!), and Digi Doodle Studios- Something Beginning with “F” (Flower and Flame.)
