It's raining flowers

Hi everyone. Hope you're having a good day. Mine's been ok, but still no stamp-mojo. I actually looked at the daily dare blog in hopes to get inspired, but still couldn't bring myself to create something. Then looking at the Whiff of Joy challenge I remembered I never photographed and shared this card, which fits their challenge of "flowers" but since I made it a little while ago, I am not going to enter it in the challenge.

The card uses the image "willow with umbrella". It was colored with alcohol markers (prisma and copics) and cut out. In place of the raindrops I added flowers which I punched out with my flower trio punch. The designer paper is from DCWV and the sentiment from SU (vases in vogue). To finish off the card I added some stickles and larger flower and did some paper piercing.
Hope you like the card. Now I'm off to check out next week's digital tuesday challenge because I definitely have to do that one. Maybe that'll help me find my mojo.

Just a little side note: Friday 7/31 is the last day you can download the digital stamp oasis image "a happy winter" for free. After that it will only be available for purchase. You can find the freebie image here.

Digital Tuesday #17 - Simplify

Hello and a happy tuesday to all of you. I hope you are having a wonderful day.
Today is tuesday and that means another Digital Tuesday challenge!! Anjou is our challenge host this week and she wanted us to make a clean and simple card, which means fewer layers and fewer embellishments. I have to admit I was so happy for that challenge, because lately I haven't felt like spending a lot of time on a card.

For my card I used a digital border image from Creative Memories. It is a free one and I found it googling. Here's the link to the site if you are interested, they have a lot of freebies.
Anyway, I just printed it on GP white card stock, adhered to basic black and then adhered to the white card base with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment (SU - happy harmony) inside the frame, then added stickles glitter to the small dots, added a couple of prima flowers with a button center and thread. That's it, very simple and very quick to make.

I want to thank you for visting my blog today, and I do hope that you get a chance to play along this week. Dustin Pike is the sponsor this week, and he is giving away 3 of his cute digis!!!

Digital Tuesday #16 Christmas in July

Hello and a happy tuesday! I love the challenge Amy chose for us over at the Digital Tuesday challenge blog.

" Christmas in July"

Because many times I wait until the last minute to make my christmas cards. And that can get hectic at that time of the year!

I made a pretty simple card as I seem to have very
little time for my hobby these days. The image (a limited time freebie from Digital Stamp Oasis) was printed at 3.5 x 5 inches on GP white card stock. I colored it with copics. Then I ran the top and bottom of the paper thru the big kick with swiss dots embossing folder. Adhered to basic black card stock then to sahara sand card base. To finish the card off, I added the sentiment (SU - warm words) with the oval punch, added the snowflake punchouts and a little bit of stickles.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today. Be sure to check out the other gorgeous Design Team samples and maybe play along for a chance to win your choice of 3 digital stamp oasis images.
Oh, and the image I used is a freebie from digital stamp oasis throughout the month of July. You can download it here.

Two challenges

Since it's only a little over 6 months until christmas I decided to share a holiday digi stamp with you all today and thru the rest of July. Click on the picture for a larger view then just save it on your computer. For the card I made I printed it at 3.5x5 inches size. I'd love to see your creations with this. Maybe you can leave a comment with a link to your creation?Here is the card I made with it. I followed the sketch from Friday Sketchers but ended up flipping it around. The card also qualifies for the Christmas in July Challenge over at the Whimsy Stamps Challenge. Papers used are GP white, real red, and taken with teal. Image was colored with copics.
