BEAUTIFUL NEW RELEASES AND A NEW CHALLENGE AT "A DAY FOR DAISIES"

Yip, it's Friday again, and time for Tammy's new releases at A DAY FOR DAISIES.

This week we have had the most BEAUTIFUL ballet images to showcase, and this is one of the cards I made with a sitting ballerina ...



This, and a host of other beautiful, related images will soon be available in the shop .... and there is a $2 bonus buy for you too - you'll love that one! (there are some handy links at the bottom of this post for you to use)

The image was coloured using regular coloured pencils, neon coloured pencils and OMS, in my special technique, and some beads and sequins have been stitched directly onto the card, using invisible thread.

The image was cut out on a Nellies Choice Oval die and a spray of roses and a lush pink organza bow added. The background papers are all off cuts from my "too nice to throw out" box, and the silver corners are stick-ons.

Then, as a bonus, there is a new challenge on the blog ...

Theme: "A fresh coat of paint"
A new year and a clean slate, lets give our cards a fresh coat of paint! Get away from last years colored pencils and markers and dip our brushes into wet, fabulous, paint! Try something new!..............and this is the card I made ...




I coloured my ADFD imge using four different shades of brown and bronze eye shadows, using a cotton bud (Q-tip)! Isn't it fabulous! And then, because I love the bronw and turquoise color combination and don't often get to use it, I added blue embellishments like the beads, and ribbon etc.! I think i will try this technique some more, using different colour eye shadows, to experiment what the outcome will be.

If you would like to try "a fresh coat of paint" and to take part in the challenge ... please to jump over to the challenge blog, where you can get more details. (there are some handy links at the bottom of this post for you to use)

I would love to see how you interpret the challenge... and I challenge you to try it - I won't even mind if you try my idea of using eye shadows .. it's not that difficult to do and the blending of colours is a cinch!
