Glitter Glass Butterfly

October 12, 2012

Hello, friends! It’s Friday and I have a gorgeous butterfly from A Day For Daisies new release, Musical Butterflies, to share with you. I think the musical notes on the wings are so elegant. The butterfly I used, Freehand Butterfly 3, is 50% off, and one I wouldn’t hesitate to pick up again. It’s gorgeous!

I printed the image twice and covered the bottom image with glitter glass. The 2nd layer I colored with Copics and lined the wings with glitter glass. It’s hard to tell in the pictures, however, the texture is wonderful.

I used the Linen & Canvas Impression Plate (Papertrey Ink) and Tessatina Border and Prim Poppy (both Memory Box dies) to keep my card CAS. I think this would make a great sympathy, birthday, or thinking of you card.

Want to see what the rest of the DT came up with?

Hope you all have a wonderful day, thanks for stopping by!

After the Show – Silent Film

October 5, 2012

Happy Friday, Friends! If you came here from ALICE’S blog, then you’re on the right track! I have a very cool card to show you today, it’s part of the OCT Club Kit called Silent Film. How would you like to win the whole kit? Read further down to find out how.

It’s also challenge week and the challenge was to use neutrals and one color. I was going to use blue, but then thought, how generic is that? So I used a light salmon color instead, just for the shirt and tie. The film strip is washi tape and since my other love is photography, I just had to use it!

To win this kit, we’re doing a blog hop and the next blog you need to visit is BRONI. You won’t be disappointed, her work is such a treat to see!

One lucky commentor will win the October Club Kit! There are 3 ways to enter the drawing.

1) Comment on all the designers’ blogs & leave a comment on the ADFD “October Club Kit Hop” blog post
2) Become a follower of ADFD’s blog
3) Like ADFD on Facebook or share the hop information on your FB page

For each of these 3 things, you will get one entry. Leave a separate comment letting us know which of these you did on the ADFD “October Club Kit Hop” blog post.

Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful weekend!

There Is Music In My Soul Today

September 28, 2012

Happy Friday, Friends! I have a gorgeous song bird to share today, isn’t it a beauty? I had so much fun creating this card as I love birds and music.

I wanted to keep this simple and sweet and let the image speak for itself. I used Copics on Neenah Solar White card stock and a gorgeous embossing folder, Whimsy (Lifestyle Crafts), for this card. I inked the edges to add some depth and spritzed my seam binding with water and scrunched it up for the bow.

There’s also a new challenge of Anything Goes at A Day For Daisies. The challenge I gave myself was A Touch of Elegance and I used the seam binding and pin to accomplish that. Be sure to play along as it’s an easy challenge to play with! Thanks for stopping by!

Sassy Flower Fairy

September 14, 2012

Happy Friday! I hope everyone has had a good week. I’m so excited to share an adorable new image called Sassy Flower Fairy, which is party of the September Club Kit 2012. All the images in this kit are so sweet and it was hard to pick just one for today!

The challenge this week was to use a tag, so I made a card with a pull out tag to use as a topper or a bookmark. For my card, I used Wildflower dies (Lifestyle Crafts), Library Pocket die (Taylored Expressions), vellum, a Pergamano butterfly I made a long time ago, Copics, and of course, some Stickles!

For more info on the Club Kit, you can read about it HERE. Don’t forget to take a peek at the $2 deal…she’s a cutie!

Be sure to see what the rest of our very talented DT has to share, they really rocked it!

Have a fan-tabulous weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Schoolhouse

August 31, 2012

Happy Friday! Today I’m sharing a card from A Day For Daisies that uses Happy Schoolhouse. How sweet is this schoolhouse?

This schoolhouse looks a lot like one my sister lives in. It’s an old schoolhouse, out in the middle of nowhere, that’s been converted into a house and is really cool.

I printed the image on to a Fabriano Medioevalis card and water colored the image with Tim Holtz Distres Markers. I love this happy scene!

Check out what the rest of the DT cooked up for you!
