Card for Delia

A call went out from Dustin Pike to make a card for a 10 year old girl Delia who is battling Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Dustin made free Owl digi to use since this is one of Delia's favorite things, please go to Dustin's blog for more information and if you have the time to made a card for Delia please do so. I use the sketch from Midnight Madness Challenge #40

Be Mine

I found this beautiful image by Selina Fenech www.selinafenech.com/freestuff.html (copy to open she requested no direct linking) and it was free and it just seem like another perfect one for the many valentine day card challenge.

 

I had problems with the antennas when coloring, cutting and gluing after a while gave up and cut them off. Am entering this card at Flutter by Wednesday - #96 Theme of Love,  Creative Card Crew - Valentine Penny's Paper Crafty -Valentine/Love Ooh La La Creations - #47 Love Simon Says - Love,  Delightful Sketches #16 - Love

Enjoy V Day Diva Style

Finally, life settled down abit and am able to get another card out, I guess with Valentines day around the corner lots of love/hearts challenge. I really love coloring and playing with images which is an unexpected surprise and boy do I love to cut. Todays image is another freebie from Tellen's Place, Challenge #5 is Valentine Theme + 5 hearts,I started out using the sketch from Our Creative Corner, the intention was to create a bar scene with a door behind the diva but the card took on  a life of it's own.

 

 I will also be entering this card in the following challenges,

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge Valentine/Love , Raise the Bar Challenge #4- Heart to Heart Talk,  Crazy 4 Challenges C23 - Valentine, Tuesday Taggers - Love Theme, C.R.A.F.T Challenge #37 - digi colouring, The Pink Elephant - Mushy Gushy Valentine

Tellen's Place

Okay I got to Tellen's place while blog hopping and immediately fell in love with the challenge and not only do I get a free digi (wasn't quite sure initially what this was, since most people normally say they are digi scrapping, so many scrapbooking lingo to keep straight) to play with but I also get to play tic-tac-toe.

 

Since I have never painted a digi before I made 4 copies, I had some Studio G fresh chalk that I bought from J when they were on sale for $0.25 didn't know what I was going to do with them or what you did with them but I bought them any way, my reason was they were cheap and in scrapbooking section so I should need them. I had a hard time getting the skin tone they way I wanted after 2 tries got the skin somewhat right but then I had nothing to get the shade of the hair anywhere close to where I wanted which result in a trip to M since I had a 50% off coupon (probably just an excuse). In the art section I picked up a box of 100 Fibracolor Markers for the grand price of $12 after discount I felt they were worth a short and the colors worked beautifully, did not soak through the paper and went on smoothly.

I had the coloring about where I wanted (well to the best of my minimal artistic ability anyway) so I decided to cut it out (just love to cut things out with my cute little Cutter Bee scissor, this is a must have for any crafter) but accidentally cut the jump rope by the loop which now meant I was picking ribbon, so go down or across. I had no clue what dew drop was, did a goggle search and still wasn't sure so when down, ribbon-punch-button. For some reason, I couldn't figure out what punch was, even though a had  my row of punches looking right at me then I finally had a light bulb moment. So decided on the Martha Stewart landscape punch which I bought from M on clearance but never used. So punch is set, ribbon is a go and my digi is painted looking pretty with a button as a buckle so ended up with this hope you like it. Also submitting this card for the ABC-Challenge blog for N= New digi, punch, chalk & color pen and Creative Belli Blog - Ribbon use for the jump rope.

  

So now that I have done 2 cards, I am absolutely in love with making them, so will definitely be doing more.

Thanks for stopping by.
