     I created this cute card as my final entry into Di’s Digi Stamps: Clean and Simple Challenge. This card might not look like a CAS card, but for me, a person who loves fussy cutting, embellishing, and layering, this is pretty basic! The wonderful colored background image is a freebie from Di’s Digis FB Page. (You can join HERE, then access the freebie by typing Halloween Moon into Di’s FB search bar.)

    I traced the ghost from the printed digi onto a scrap of vellum, then trimmed the original ghost. After coloring the pumpkin and bunny, I attached the vellum ghost. The process took a little planning but otherwise went together quickly.

     A sad note- Di Carubia, artist/owner of Di’s Digi recently announced that she is closing her website and offering 60% off her current inventory. You have until Aug 31 to shop her sale HERE. The good news is that her Etsy Shop will remain open HERE,)

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge- Anything Goes  

      I love sunflowers, so I made this card for a current sunflower challenge. I used a digi from a Beccy’s Place set that provides several great “panels” for many occasions. I’m in the process of uncluttering my home, so had fun using items I’ve had in my stash for a while.  Scraps of ribbon and burlap, patterned paper, and brown Nuvo Drops add color, patterns, and texture to the finished card.

    I’m entering my card into several challenges including Colorful Options:Yellow/Green (sunflowers display both of these colors!), and Not2Shabby: August Sunflowers (a single beautiful sunflower takes center stage on my card.) 

 

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Sunflowers from Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Hello Sunshine)

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

·   Nuvo Drops- Copper Penny (Adds texture to the center of sunflower)

·   Front Sentiment “Thanks so Much” from Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Card Panels)

Love Those Pretty Papers Challenge- Aug 2024: Summertime  

     I made this card for the current Outlawz Sunday Challenge. Based on the poem, “Red Wheelbarrow.”  I was inspired by the poem’s name, and my card features a perfect from Fred She Said. Since I needed to color the wheelbarrow red, I decided to turn my card into a Christmas card. I colored just the wheelbarrow on the digi, and also colored and fussy-cut Christmas greenery from a Dover Publications coloring book page. After cutting a slit along the front edge of the wheelbarrow, I slid sections of the greenery on top of the spring flowers in the original digi. Christmas gifts from a Beccy’s Place set, colored and fussy-cut, provide embellishments. The sentiments are from a favorite Beccy’s Place digi set, except that changed the format of the inside of the card by adding a brightly-colored upcycled “MERRY” to the “Make it Merry” sentiment.

      I’m entering my card into several challenges including Papercraft Challenge: Polka Dots (both the ribbon and gifts on front of card are polka dotted).  

Supplies: 

·   Wheelbarrow Digi- Fred She Said (Wheelbarrow)

·   Gift digis from a Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Here Comes Christmas)

·   Inside Sentiment “Make It...” from a Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Here Comes Christmas) and “Merry” upcycled from an old card.
