Monica chose a lovely challenge this time, it is called Secret Garden and must feature flowers.
We have two sponsors, Samaflora who is giving some hand made flowers to two lucky winners, and Unky who is our brand new sponsor and provided the gorgeous images we have used - you really need to go see the rest on the Quirky Blog too!
For my first card I used Aurora Cherry Blossom, I coloured her with Promarkers and die cut a frame with Spellbinders. I put some Chatterbox ribbon top and bottom of the image and the pearlescent panel the frame is mounted on has some very pretty chiffon ribbon printed with daisies from Crafty Ribbons.
I die cut the cherry blossoms with Britannia dies, and punched the centres with a Nellie Snellen punch, and added green to the ends, and Stickles to the middles. I haven't decided if I am going to add a sentiment yet. The frame is popped up and with the flowers this is very 3d.
Cherry blossoms make me happy, they are all about new beginnings and Spring. Our poor cherry blossom tree really suffered in the drought last summer, it lost all of it's leaves so early and we are hoping for signs that it has survived and will blossom this Spring.
I have entered this card in the following challenges:
Craft Mojo - Spring flowers (March)
ABC - G is for Girls (Sat)
Allsorts Challenge - Spring is coming (Sat)
Passion for Promakers - Make it digital (Tues)
The Technique Twist - Faux frames (Sat 15th) (Winner)
The East Wind Challenge Blog - Use a digi (13th March)
My second card features Vintage Dolly Girl Mon Amour Sitting in the Flower Garden, and I set her in her secret garden behind a green fence and gates die cut with Spellbinders DLites, and sitting on some HOTP paper representing a picnic blanket. I added some Prima blooms, and a die cut sentiment using a die free with a magazine. The image is coloured with Promarkers (I haven't mastered clothes yet, the hair is getting better) and die cut with Spellbinders.
I have entered this card in the following challenges:
Feeling Crafty - Use a digi and bling (March)
I Love Promarkers - Use die cuts but no punches (Wed)
That Craft Place - Anything goes (Sun)
Stamping for the weekend - Sparkle and Shine (Fri 14th and I really hope it wasn't me that posted too many entries last time, my memory is awful)
