Just a Flower

This lovely flower image free from Glitterbabe is to be used in the CDACPC13 - 3rd Series Progressive Challenge.  When entering the challenge you receive 5 digital images, to use.  If you enter a least one in the challenge you will receive free images for the next part of the challenge.  If you find you can't do this, you have the opportunity of buying in again for $1.00.  This part of the challenge runs until March 14th.
I have used the flower in 3 sizes, layered them with pop dots and added a Making Memories Metal Sticker in the Center.  The flower is mounted on a die cutout from Spellbinders.  The background pieces of the card were run through the Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots Folder.  Then the three sections of the card were glued together to form a T-Pee Card.   (The card looks quite red in the photo, but it is actually a bright pink.)

Spring Butteflies and Flowers

This card is for the Series 3 CDACPC13 Progressive Challenge.  This image from Crafting With Jack does make you think of Spring and of the flowers that will soon be blooming.  The background is DP from Color Bok.  I first stamped the butterfly on a transparency, embossed it with gold and then mounted it on a piece of shiny white cardstock that I had stamped with a pad using Tim Holtz Alchol Inks.  I used pop dots behind the butterfly to make it sit above the flowers.  The larger flowers are from Pettaloo, and even though they are meant to be colored I left them white to fit into the background.  The top flower is from my stash.

Strange day to-day it blows and the snow falls, but does not stay, then it is bright and sunny, I guess it is just telling us that winter isn't over yet!  Just a few more weeks of curling left for this season.

A Child's Happiness

This little girl with her tattered cat reminds me of my granddaughter and her cat which I have mended many times for her.  It has lost most of its plush coating and some of the stuffing, only has one eye, but is still a keepsake.  This card is for the CDAC Progressive Challenge Series 3, #13.  This delightful image is from Lia Stampz .  I have colored with copics, used a Martha Stewart punch on one side, and added embellishments from Dollarama to the lattice work.  The sentiment which is framed in a die cut from Nellies is computer generated.
