The 15th of the month finds me making a DT card for the challenge at QKR Stampede. 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?
I printed a fun western cowboy digi (or more appropriately, cowbear!) onto kraft brown cardstock.  After coloring the bear, I added highlights with a white colored pencil to make him look dusty, weathered, and scruffy. The patterned papers in the background plus a scrap of twine on the inside add to the rustic western theme.

 

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Eureka Digital Stamp (Branding) Also available in unmounted or cling-mounted
·   Patterned Paper Background from a video named Double 6x6 Wonder found HERE  
·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers, white colored pencil, Sakura Gelly Roll white & silver gel pens
·   Inside digi-Sentiment- “Happy Birthday to You” (unknown source)
·   Cardstock, patterned papers, a scrap of twine, and other items from my stash.

Am posting another card for one of my favorite holiday challenges- Beccy’s Place Annual Month of Holiday Cards Challenge! Every day in November Beccy provides a theme (most based on the letters of the alphabet) and invites participants to create cards for ANY holiday, using images from any company. And… she offers several prizes on a daily and weekly basis. So there is no reason not to get involved.
This card features a digi and sentiments from Beccy’s Place digi set on a striking but very easy to create “Triangle Fold” Base. I attempted to create the look of rich Damask fabrics on the regal trio by coloring their cloaks with deep rich shades and adding patterns with gold and silver gel pens. The final proof of their status was to add “gems” to their crowns and gifts.

Supplies: 

·   Digi and sentiments- Beccy’s Place Digital Stamp Set (Three Kings)
·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers, Sakura Gelly Roll white, gold and silver gel pens
·   Triangle Fold Instructions can be found HERE
·   Galaxy Patterned paper and crown sticker- Hobby Lobby
·   Cardstock, metallic papers, gems, and other items from my stash.
