A DAY FOR DAISIES 'COLLECTION OF FAVOURITES' BLOG HOP

 

Today is the first day of our ADFD Blog Hop - a celebration of all of the beautiful images Tammy has created over the years. As a special surprise for Tammy, we have a combination of current and former DT members participating in the hop. Her inspiring art and generous heart have touched us all. We want to take a moment to show our gratitude and thank Tammy for the blessings and joys we have received as members of the ADFD DT.

Our theme is “A Collection of ADFD Favorites” - so each DT member’s blog you visit will share something she has created with one of her favorite ADFD images. The hop has hidden prizes - a commenter from each hidden prize stop will win a choice of one image from the ADFD Shop! You won’t know where the prizes are hidden, so be sure to leave a comment at each stop of the Hop! Our Blog Hop will run from 7:00 a.m. eastern standard time on Saturday, February 25, 2017 until 9:00 p.m. eastern standard time on Tuesday, February 27, 2017.

In addition to the Blog Hop, we invite you to share your Favorite ADFD image in the final ADFD Blog Challenge. The linky will stay open until Friday, March 3rd. All prize winners will be announced on the ADFD Blog on Saturday, March 4, 2017. We hope you will join our celebration of the thousands of images Tammy has created. Rules for the challenge are posted on the right sidebar of the ADFD Blog - the last spot of the stop! 

My favourite image is 'Paper Doll Mazie' that I coloured with my Copis.

I also used the following to create my card:

pink cs mat

pink ribbon

bows

digital sentiment

DAISY BIRD BATH - A DAY FOR DAISIES

My A Day for Daisies DT showcase card features the beautiful image called Daisy Bird Bath that I coloured using Copic markers and a white gel pen

I felt my CS card didn't need much more than a blue cs mat, a ribbon and a peel off sentiment that seemed so appropriate for the image.

TENDER THOUGHTS - A DAY FOR DAISIES

The darling image featured on my DT Showcase card today is called "Tender Thoughts" and is available in the A Day for Daisies store here.

Once printed, I used Copics to colour her,  and used a cream coloured cs mat, as well as a cream satin bow.

The sentiment is a well known children's prayer, and I thnk it is just perfect for the image.

The swirls are sewn on pearl beads (each one individually, with invisible thread)

A DAY FOR DAISIES - SCOTTY MISTLETOE C

My DT showcase card today features the image called Scotty Mistletoe C from the

 A Day for Daisies store

I printed the image onto white cardstock and then cut away his coat so that I could add a scrap of tartan dp underneath.  He has a little gold bow, just perfect for the festive season.

A DAY FOR DAISIES :: BIRDS FOR BREE

This beautiful image from the  Day for Daisies Store, called Birds for Bree reminds me of my childhood in Durban, South Africa, where we'd visit Central Gardens to feed the pigeons.  Dad would buy a packet of seed from the vendor sitting at the gate, and as soon as you'd opened the packet the pigeons would descend from the surrounding statues and monuments,  and sit on your shoulders and hands to feast.

I coloured the image using my Copics and Graph'It markers, and a white gel pen.  I kept the card clean and simple, as I wanted to showcase the image, without any fussy distractions.

I also used the following for my card:

white cs card base

corner punch

gems

twine

digital sentiment
