Bullfrogs & Butterflies

Here is my card for the weekly progressive challenge from Designed 2 Delight (D2D).

Thanks to Faith for the digi stamp.

The digi is colored with copics.  Distressing Ink was used to highlight the quote.  The flower is from my stock as well as the gold brad in the center.  I wanted the colors to come out on the digi so I used the dark colors to add contrast.  The birds in the sky were added for depth in the picture.

You can join us in the progressive challenge each week by going to Delightful Inspirations.  Faith offers a free digi the first week of each month.  If you miss the freebie, you can purchase the digi at Designed 2 Delight to get started.

Balancing Ladybugs

Definitely a card that screams "SPRING"

Thanks to D2D (Designed 2 Delight) for the digi stamp.  

The stamp includes the ladybugs, and flower.  I added the butterflies, quote, and grass that was cut using the "Everyday Paper Doll" cartridge on my Cricut.  The grass is textured with copic markers to add definition.

I am submitting this card for the Delightful Inspirations weekly progressive challenge.  If you would like to participate in the weekly challenges, you can join at Delightful Inspirations.  You can purchase the "Ladybug Balancing Act" digi stamp at the D2D store.

This card was made for the Nana Vickie's Father's Day Challenge at Crafter's Digital Artist Center (CDAC).
Vickie provided the can of worms, net and fishing pole.  Vickie provides digi stamps to use in challenges that last 1-2 weeks.  In the 2 week challenges, the digi stamps are free for the first week. This one was a 5 day challenge to come up with a card for Father's Day or a card for men.

I am starting to branch out with my computer and digital items.  The sky, picnic table, corner embellishments, sun outline,and dark grass are all digital items painted to the desired color I wanted.  All the marker coloring is done with Copic markers (grass, can of worms, net, fishing pole, and sun).

Garden Party

This is my card for the Progressive Challenge by Designed 2 Delight.  Thanks again Faith for a very cute digi stamp.  I made this card 2 times.  On the second card I added green Flower Soft on the grass and yellow Flower Soft in the centers of the flowers.

The card bursts with spring colors using copic markers and copic glitter markers to the flowers, bee and of course the cherry on the cupcake.  The saying is from the Mice Day set offered by D2D at their store for $2.50.  The background blue and green are digital.  I really like using the new version of the digi's D2D is offering leaving the design white for coloring in using digital backgrounds.
