Teddy in a Stocking

 

 

 Welcome!  I am back with another tag and card made with the same tag.   I used a digital image Teddy from A Day For Daisies that I colored with Copics and added some stickles to the image.   The tag was finished with a GKD sentiment and a knotted ribbon.   To make the card, I used a White CS card base, a striped paper from Pebbles Pad Welcome Christmas, and a layer of textured handmade Red Paper ( purchased).  The tag was attached to the layers.

Be Happy

Merry Poinsettia

It's cold here!! Great time to play inside.  My card is for challenges including Sketch Saturday and A Day for Daisies Challenge, the sponsor this week at SS. I printed the ADFD image Christmas Flower which happens to be a freebie this week.  I colored the image with Copics and Pencils and cut with a square die and rounded 2 corners with corner punch.  I selected  pattern papers from Pebbles Welcome Christmas pad to complete the card.  I used Cheery Lynn die to cut the word Merry and Cuttlebug EF for embossing the red strip. Oher supplies: Memento Bamboo Leaves ink, Yellow Beads in center of flower, White CS

Bluebird of Happiness

Digi Sketch

Sometimes a card comes to me quickly and out of nowhere.  I combined several inspirations and ideas in this card.  First, I have several digis from A Day For Daisies that I have not used and wanted to play with one of them .  I played around on Photoshop with the digi Free Hand Bird with Musical Notes to color the image using shades of blue and then cut it out using an oval die letting the bird's  tail extend out a bit. Using copics B0000 and B21, I added some shading to the image. Inspired by the musical notes on the bird, I decided to stay with a musical theme. I embossed a mat of blue CS with Cuttlebug Allegro EF and colored the edges and raised design with Memento Summer Sky ink. I placed this on a card base of the same blue CS and added the image following the sketch to the right.  I stamped a sentiment from Flourishes Kid's Play set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink that kept with musical theme.  Remember the song Don't Worry, Be Happy?
How about the Bluebird of Happiness?

Challenges:
A Day For Daisies Blog: Make a monochrome card. Guess their new release called Blue Birdie got me thinking of Blue Birds and thus the subject of my card.
Digi Sketch Challenge: Sketch challenge on upper right with a theme shades of blue. Tied in with my thoughts of a blue bird.

Spotlight on Gathering Flowers

Welcome!  This card was made using the Spotlight technique and a Digi from A Day for Daisies called Gathering Flowers.  I printed the digi twice leaving one in black and white and cutting and coloring a circle from the other image for the spotlight. I used a pink cardstock from scraps and a pattern paper from GKD Berries and Vines paper pad as mats for the image.  I embossed the pattern layer with Cuttlebug EF Polka Dots for texture. I finished with a White Cardstock Card base and a Pink Satin Ribbon with the sentiment from Annabelle Stamps Whimsey Flowers stamped in Memento Rose Bud ink.  Copics and Markers used for coloring.
