The Outlawz Monday Greetings Challenge

 


The theme for The Outlawz Monday Greetings challenge is FLOWERS. As you can see, there are lots of pink flowers, so rather than use the pink I decided to go with LOTS of flowers for my card, which features an image from the prize sponsor, Fred She Said.


I repeated the flower image 5 times to create a border, and coloured it with alcohol markers

I also used the following to create my card

white CS card base

white CS background, embossed

digital sentiment

THE OUTLAWZ SUNDAY SONGS & RHYMES CHALLENGE

 

The new challenge over at The Outlawz Songs & Rhymes Challenge has just started, and this is the song to inspire you

Catch a falling Star
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day
For love may come and tap you on the shoulder
Some starless night
Just in case you feel you wanna' hold her
You'll have a pocketful of starlight
 
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away (never let it fade away)
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day (save it for a rainy day)
(Save it for a rainy, rainy, rainy day)
For when your troubles starting multiplying
And they just might
It's easy to forget them without trying
With just a pocketful of starlight
