DSC # 138 NEW Monthly Challenge

Hi Everyone, my DT post today is for -

A New MONTHLY challenge at

 Digitally Sweet Challenges

the Theme is 

Anything Goes

sponsored by  Imagine That ...digis by Kris

Kris gave us fabulously happy kits to choose our images from, I've used Ladybug/Daisies Planter and birthday sentiment from the same name kit, with flowers and sun from the Sunny Days kit, the bloomiful sentiment comes from the Lily's flowers kit. I designed it in PS then printed it out. I just added Stickles to the sunglasses and the daisies and 3D gloss to the eyes. A simple but so Happy card for a my friends Granddaughter.

 I just noticed that the made card looks a sunny card even with dark clouds in the background.

50th birthday

Hi Everyone, today is a card I made for the niece who is going to China. It's her 50th birthday this week and I decided to use my Cameo and a file from Shirley's Templates, she gives the most beautiful freebie cutting files and has beautiful cutting files for sale too. I decided to use a 5 x 7 size card which was fortunate as so was the cut file LOL. The photo was taken just before I sent it, and would you believe it it was the first darkish day we had had in a couple of weeks, so the photo doesn't do it justice.

Girly

Hi Everyone, here I am again with another DT card for a Deedee's sponsored challenge, this time it is a colour challenge at Creative Moments Challenge my offering is a bottle of nail varnish! well not quite, LOL, but an image from the "Beautiful Lady" kit by Deedee's Digis, I used one of the outline images in the kit and coloured it in PS to match the colours required for the challenge. The inside paper is also from the kit recoloured to match. The sentiment on the top is also from the kit. I added it to my Cameo and cut the outside and the inside so easy to put together then, they actually match LOL.

Butterfly

Hi Everyone a DT post for Deedee's Digis today, she is sponsoring a challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches, I decided to use the sketch from TMS as I had to make a card for my niece, and, with colours which will match an outfit she wore to a wedding I decided to use the FlutteringBy kit from Deedee's.

I used the outline image of the Butterfly and Flower which is included in the kit and coloured it in PS to match the paper. All designed and printed out in PS. I layered the butterfly with 3 layers on the outer wing and 3D'd the sentiment, also from the same kit.

I thought it appropriate, as my niece has a farewell and birthday party this weekend as she off to China in a couple of months. It should have been in a week, but my Great niece has been chosen to dance for the UK in a Dance competion, she has told me which one, but senior moment and all that! and the finals are in July, of course she couldn't back out of it, so they are leaving in August. This card is to wish her luck.



Papers are all Pink Petticoat, which I have neglected for too long.

Christmas Ornaments

Deedee's Digis are sponsoring a challenge at Craft your Passion  - Anything Goes and this is my DT offering, as I have been doing a few Christmas cards of late I decided to do another of the "cool" Ornamental  Contempo from Deedee's.

I used a Tattered Lace border embossing folder to make the background.  The striped paper is from the same kit, which I embossed with the same folder.

I used my Cameo to cut out the ornaments, I can't get over how fine it cuts out, can you see the hanging hooks, soooooo fine. I added tags done in PS, added pink card for the background layer and added green bling to the centre and ribbon to match.

Quite different colours for Christmas ay? but so bright and cheerful. In fact I think I'll send this to my Great Nephew who is in Australia, I think it would be just the thing for the OZ Summer Christmas.

Washi tape

Completely Christmas - Washi Tape at http://suzysmarty1.blogspot.com/

Hi Everyone, Deedee's Digis is sponsoring a challenge at Completely Christmas with the theme "Washi Tape". As it's a DT post, I didn't have any washi tape that would be suitable for Christmas so decided to make my own in PS! Faux washi tape - yep!
I downloaded washi templates then downloaded Deedee's Digis "Blue Christmas" which has fab papers. (I won't blind you with what I did in PS, but you could go to the link below this post, it's where I learned it.)
The frame and washi are one layer with the sentiment added as a 3D element, Stickles added to the pattern and sequins added to the washi tape tree. I'm quite pleased with this effect.
