    I am honored to have served as a Guest Designer for Beccy Muir at Beccy’s Place and am now one of her “Contributors” (which means that she provides me with digis or clear stamp sets several times a year and I get to create cards or other items with them!) It is always fun to see the images Beccy invites me to use and this time my two cards feature silhouette images and sentiments from Beccy’s new digi set “Rainy Days.”  I gave the cards a “Spring” feeling, by using a pretty freebie rainbow that I’ve had in my collection for several years.

   The silhouette on the first card features a cloudy sky background, a few sparkly rhinestone raindrops and photo corners in four rainbow colors. I love the sentiment on the inside and have a feeling I’ll be using it often. I embellished it with a few scraps trimmed from the rainbow on the card front, plus a sunshine sticker and a spray of rhinestone raindrops to compliment the bright and colorful card.

Supplies: 

·   Silhouette digi and insides sentiment-“Shine Bright Birthday Girl” from Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Rainy Days)

·   Rainbow freebies (in two sizes, half and quarter circle) from cornishkat.blogspot.com

·   Photo corners available from several web sources (WXJ13 Photo Mounting Corners)

·   All other items from my stash.

    The second card features a silhouette of a sweet couple in pre-smooch mode!! (I love that the young lady has one leg lifted. That cute pose is a perfect fit for the sentiment.) A weathered wood window, a scrap of acetate and strips of foam tape help to add some texture and depth to the card. And heart stickers add some bling.

      I’m entering this card into several challenges including Outlawz- The Winner Takes It All by ABBA (my card fits the line in the song “I was in your arms Thinking I belonged...”)

I made this final card for a favorite challenge, named Snippets, which encourages me to use some of the mounds of scraps that I just can’t seem to discard. The herringbone background, made with strips of scraps, goes together pretty quickly, is one of my favorite ways to showcase a sentiment digi. Two heart-shaped rhinestones provide a bit of sparkle and complement the pink and grey color scheme.
