A Cute Girl....

Hello friends!
 Today's project is a card made to meet the criteria of several challenges.  I started with an adorable digital image which I colored with my colored pencils.  I'm still working on my coloring skills, but I think I'm making a little progress.  I mounted the image on several different colors of cardstock and added a lace border punched with my Martha Stewart border punch. The butterflies and tiny red flowers are punched and mounted and I added a lot of bling in the form of tiny stick on gems.  A button and bow border across the bottom finished the look I was after.
Here is the sketch I used for inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches.


                                                    

The flower inspiration came from Little Scrap Pieces and Cute Card Thursday and the button and bow inspiration came from Dutch Dare.  The image is a freebie from Digi Darla's' and isn't she cute?!  I am just learning to work with digital images and I think I am going to love it!

Here is the card I made.

Color Challenge...

I love a good color challenge  and The Play Date Cafe always has one that can get my creative juices flowing.   For this project I started with the avocado green card base.  I affixed a light blue panel to the front and cut out some fun flourishes in the green with my silhouette.  I glued the flourishes to the blue panel and die cut a matching butterfly which I also embossed with flourishes using my Big Shot and a cuttlebug embossing folder.  Next I dug out my nestabilities label 1dies and  some grey cardstock and cut a sweet little shape to build upon. The edges of the shape I inked with SU Always Artichoke ink.   I punched out some paper flowers with a 'Picture Punch' and added green pearls for the centers.  I also added green pearls for the body of the butterfly.  I glued the flowers to the grey die cut and added a blue chiffon ribbon and attached this to the card with dimensional adhesives. The sentiment is stamped on grey cardstock with edges inked with the SU Artichoke and attached with dimensional adhesives.

Here is their lovely color story for this challenge.

And here is my interpretation of it.

I also want to enter this card into The ABC Design Team anything goes challenge.

Thanks for visiting my blog and I hope you have a great Easter holiday!
