Quirky Crafts GD - Mid-challenge Reminder

Hello, everyone! As a Guest Designer at Quirky Crafts this fortnight, I have made another card for our Let's Play Dress-up - with Ribbon challenge. We want to see children or animals in costume. I hope you can join us! We have two fabulous sponsors: Bugaboo Digi Stamps and Crafty Ribbons.


I chose an adorable image from Bugaboo Digi Stamps called Flower Bird and coloured it with my Prismacolor pencils. I tried a new technique called Fold-out Window Card that I learned in Stretch Your Dies Online Card Class (I won this class; thank you, Laura!). It was really fun to make! I finally used my Spellbinders Blossom Two dies - I've had these for over a year and this is the first time I've used them! On the front of the card, I added a triple-looped bow, made from EK Success ribbon, and three yellow gems. For the sentiment, I stamped a Clearly Besotted stamp repeatedly on a gold strip and then affixed along the bottom. On the inside of the card, the image was die-cut with my Simon Says Stamps Stitched Rectangle.  I stamped a sentiment from Newton's Nook and added three gold dots, one was die-cut using my Nellie's Multiframe Circles and two made with handheld hole-punches.


My colour combo was inspired by Colette's Cosmic Colours Challenge #11 and I think I managed to use five of the six colours.

  

Please join us at Quirky Crafts for our Let's Play Dress-up - Plus Ribbon challenge. I think you'll have fun!  Thank you to Quirky Crafts for having me as your Guest Designer! It was my pleasure!

  9. Love this Kitty, a great shape & that image is so sweet!
    You asked about my art journal....mine is from Dylusions & is approx A4 size but they do a smaller one with pages of 5 x 8 inches & the quality is brilliant. Beware though, it's soooooo addictive lol!
