A PERFECT TIIME TO CRAFT - CHALLENGE #3


The March Challenge over at A Perfect time to Craft Challenge blog has just started and this month our wonderful sponsor is Sasayaki Glitter

and my card features the sponsor's image called "Anita Gardening"

I coloured my image using Copics and a white gel pen.  The bg paper is from a South African company called Penelope Dee.

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
