Id like to show you a calendar I made with a Shelly's Images image called "Duck Pond"

This very life;like image of the duck is a digi available from the Shelly's store and I coloured using colour pencils and OMS
I printed the calendar myself, using MS word, and embellished using a couple of feathers from my stash, and a little mosaic tile.

SHANNON'S SENTIMENTS SATURDAY CHALLENGE #28 : GRADUATION

The card above is my card for the Shannon 's Sentiments Saturday Challenge, where you are asked to make a GRADUATION CARD, and to use the paper tearing technique. I have used the sentiment from Shannon's store and make the little embellishments myself. The sewing is also real machine sewing, not faux stitching, and the printed paper is torn instead of cut.

This is the time of year for graduations (in the US) and graduation cards are such fun to make. Why not create one, and add it to our challenge on the blog?! Click here to see the rest of the DT's fabulous creations and to enter the challenge.

A DAY FOR DAISIES : I HAVE TWO CREATIONS TO SHOW YOU TODAY!

This week my card, featuring the image called "Tall Tower", comes from this group in the new set:

I printed the image onto white card and coloured using Copics. The flowers were embellished using nail art stick-on gems. Marianne Dies (flourishes) were used to cut out the flourishes, and I attached some deep orange cardstock to the back. stick on gems for nails were also used to embellish the flourishes.

A grouping of orange flowers was used at the top of the card. Cuttlebug corner dies were used for the base of the card.


The images you see above are not the only new releases today, there are a few more sets, just as beautiful as this one! Click HERE to see them all.


My second card features an image which will be part of the June Club kit, and is one of the plump fairies - ain't she cute?

I coloured the image with Copics, just two colours, and added the frog from another set (Snow White), a sprinkling of glitter, a shiny ribbon and bow, an a little bit of embossing - and there you go - a pretty enchanted card, if I may say so myself!

PATTIES CREATIONS : CHALLENGE # : FATHERS DAY OR WEDDING CARD

I'd like to share my Wedding card with you, as inspiration for the latest challenge on Pattie's Creation Design Challenge:

My image is from Pattie's Etsy Store, and although it's not strictly "wedding" I think it works perfectly as a wedding card. The image is Copics coloured and I added a piece of tulle and some flower sequins to represent the veil. A spray of flowers represents the wedding bouquet.
The silver corners are Cuttlebug dies and I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the background, to represent the wallpaper.

Now it's YOUR turn ... what WEDDING OR FATHER'S DAY CARD can you create for this challenge?

JUST REMEMBER, if you use an image from Pattie's Creations, you will get an extra entry to win!

Stop over at her Etsy Store and browse around. There are FREEBIES too.
The challenge starts now and ends Thursday, June 6TH at 1PM CST (Central Standard Time).
