   Good Morning! I was having issues with our server yesterday, so am getting my Guest DT cards posted a little late for today’s Outlawz Sunday “Songs and Rhymes” Challenge inspired by a poem about Fairies from artist Cicely Mary Barker. (I’ll bet you’ve seen Cicily’s beautiful art, which you can explore more in-depth HERE!)  

   My first card features a free digi from Sheepski Designs, named “Pollen Fairy.” I love how she is gently petting her friend.. and sharing a bit of bling with him in the process. (Fairies do love glitter!)  

 

Supplies: 

·   Digi- “Pollen Fairy” is a freebie from Sheepski Designs (To obtain this freebie, join the FB page HERE. Then you can find the digi HERE.)

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

·   Front Sentiment “Happy Bee Day” from SnapClickSupply.com digi set (Sweet As Can Bee Word Art)

·   Background Scene is a freebie from The Graphics Fairy (Beehive Flowers)

·   Yellow vellum, Stickles (in several colors), and other items from my stash.

     My second card for the Fairies challenge at Outlawz features I raided my many folders of “treasures” to find  a background (an upcycled card front of a beautiful roses with gold accents) and a  frame upon which Ellie can “perch.” Computer generated sentiments and a flurry of pretty butterflies finish off the card.

·   Digi- “Ellie” from The Paper Shelter

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

·   Sentiments- Computer Generated

      The current challenge at The Paper Shelter is a yummy one- CHOCOLATE! I enlarged one of their cute digis (to fill the corner of an A2 card) and printed it onto peach colored card stock. After coloring and fussy-cutting the digi, I started on the card shape- a Diorama Card. However, after putting the card together, I didn’t like the light-colored paper I’d chosen. Instead of starting over, I decided to cut off the front flap so the card became a stand-alone frame. I cut an A2 sized piece of black cardstock, cut out an oval shape, and adhered it to the front of the card. After taping pretty chocolate colored patterned paper to the inside of the card, I adhered the digi to the left front corner of the frame. Then came the really fun part… I swapped out the butterfly on the digi with… CHOCOLATE!  I created a Hershey’s Kiss from a scrap of card board onto which I adhered silver foil upcycled from a handful of Hershey’s Kisses which were… um… consumed in the creation of this card! The thin vellum label was upcycled from a large (7 oz.) Hershey’s Kiss that my DH gave me for Christmas last year. (He really does know the way to my heart!)

     I’m entering this card into several challenges including Park Hopping-My Happy Place (there is a park in PA, the home of Hershey’s chocolate, that has a monster roller-coaster and three restaurants that offer… you got it… lots of options to enjoy Hershey’s chocolate!)  

   

Supplies: 

·   Digi- from The Paper Shelter (Little Butterfly)

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

·   Card Shape- Surprise Diorama Card  (altered as in details noted above)

·   Patterned paper and  other items from my stash.
