Spring Time

An ATC today, I am not making nearly enough of these, have to get more organised.  This one features an image called "A good mood" and is from Tory Tale.

Sadly where I live we have now entered Autumn, which is an absolutely gorgeous time of the year here, warm days, cool night and the leaves turn to the amazing colours.  But I would so much prefer I was entering into spring because that would mean summer is around the corner.

For Mum

A card for Mum, featuring "Elephant raining love" from A Day for Daisies.

Coloured with copic pens and diecut with a stitched square die and layered onto coloured cardstock.

Then I sort of went a bit crazy with dies, the flowers, branches, bird house and bird are all dies, the sentiment is stamped and punched.

Katniss Sparkling

I am a big fan of the Hunger Games, have read the books and seen the movies.  There is just something about the resilience of the young people in the story that resonates hope for future generations.  The young will grow and take over one day, let's hope we have taught them well and helped them along the way.

The image on this card is from Sassy Designs and is called Katniss.  Coloured with copic pens, fussy cut, layered onto black cardstock, with a lot of different glitter products. (for anyone that is not familiar with Katniss, she is the main character and her beautiful gowns are made to appear on fire when she twirls.)

MHK Designs March Challenge

So very luck\y to have been asked to do a Guest Designer spot at MHK Designs.  I was given a photo for inspiration a wonderful stamp set, MHK Bunny Love and French Country papers.
 
The stamp set included three different images and 4 different sentiments, my card is featuring 2 of the images and one of the sentiments.  I have used 2 of The French Country Papers which consists of 18 different papers

I took my inspiration from the bunnies, window and flowers in the photo.  The little mushroom was added so that I could match up some red from the photo.

The little rabbit on the front of the card, has been printed 3 times, one copy coloured and gittered, then all 3 copies glued together to make a chipboard style element.  A window die has been used on the front of the card, The frame has been printed with one of the French Country Papers.  Some patterned paper for the heart edging.  Lots of flowers, leaves and butterflies together with a stamped sentiment completes the front of the card.

When you open the card, the inside has one of the stamp sentiments and another of the images, also coloured with copic pens.  The background is one of the French Country papers.

I wonder how others interpreted the photo, hop on over and check them out at:

 Happy Dance

For my Happy Dance card, I printed the image on white cardstock twice.  Once with the words Happy Birthday and the other image I coloured with copic pens and fussy cut, leaving the musical notes out, then layered the coloured image on top of the non coloured image, that way the notes are clearly seen.  I then added a diecut to the top of the card.

Cool Bunny

 For Cool Bunny, I added some extra palings and typed the word Greetings with the heart onto the palings, coloured with copic pens and fussy cut.  Layered onto distressed pink cardstock with double sided tape, the ears have been lifted with dimensions.  Little flower and bow coCraft Your Passion - Anything Goesmpletes the card.

The sponsor at Digitally Sweet this month is Limited Runs.

I chose Jack in the Box for my scrapbook page.  I have used lots of different filters for the background, added a 40 to the Jack in the Box and photos of my daughter through the years.  Hopefully she will get a laugh out of the page, as she will be overseas for her birthday I will have to post it on Facebook for all to see lol.
