The Outlawz Sunday Songs & Rhymes Challenge

 

 

This card was created as my DT inspiration for the Sunday Songs & Rhymes Challenge at The Outlawz that started today.

Here is the rhyme to inspire you

Daisy Time

See, the grass is full of stars,
Fallen in their brightness;
Hearts they have of shining gold,
Rays of shining whiteness.
Buttercups have honeyed hearts,
Bees they love the clover,
But I love the daisies' dance
All the meadow over.
Blow, O blow, you happy winds,
Singing summer's praises,
Up the field and down the field
A-dancing with the daisies.
 
The words "Hearts ..... shinng gold" inspired me to create my card with an image from the prize sponsor, Patties Creations.
 

 
The image is called  Hearts and Flowers and I coloured it with alcohol markers


To create my card, I also used
white CS base card
pink CS background
gold foil CS heart and corner die cuts
sewn on gold beads
gold cord bow

Spring's Vivid Carnival

by Elizabeth Squires

Spring's vivid carnival shall soon prevail

She'll be frocked up in the brightest attire

her floral shades so striking of detail

Gardens being clad by stunning avail

flowers displaying such a colorful shire

spring's vivid carnival shall soon prevail

Every aspect of the rainbow there to sail

glorious blooms that we can admire

her floral shades so striking of detail

The wow factor e'er innate in her trail

a seasonal dressing of which we'll not tire

spring's vivid carnival shall soon prevail

Great visuals she'll pleasingly nail

on paintings in a sensational palettes fire

her floral shades so striking of detail

Seeing what the fashion will entail

we'll be gobsmacked with is garb's quire

spring's vivid carnival shall soon prevail

her floral shades so striking of detail.

PATTIES CREATIONS DESIGN CHALLENGE #30 : MAKE IT GIRLY!

It is with a little sadness that I post this DT card for Pattie's Creations ... it is the last one of my term at Pattie's Creations!

I have had wonderful time whilst on Pattie's DT, had the pleasure of getting to meet some wonderfully talented crafters, and w3ill forever be grateful to Pattie for giving me a chance, a complete newbie, serving on her first DT. Thanks Pattie - and of course Sandi - I hope I didn't let the side down.

Enogh snivelling from me ... and now onto my creation for the GIRLY! challenge:


I used a combination of coloured pencils and oms, copics, pastel gel pens, and glitter gel pens to colour the image. I used a fancy corner punch for the corners and a selection of DP offcuts. The stickers are puffy, almost transparent, from a set that I bought years ago! The flower (isn't it gorgeous?!) has always seemed to big for my other cards, but here it just seems perfect. I am so glad that I finally found a use for it!

Now that you have seen my card, are you going to enter the challenge too?


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 started on Friday, 9 September and ends Thursday, September 8th at 5PM CST (Central Standard Time)

Pattie has some fabulous images in her store, so it should be too difficult to find one just perfect for your GIRLY!creation!
