WWC 236 Heidi's "All About Occasions" challenge

Hello there, it’s time for another Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  Heidi is our hostess this week with an "All About Occasions" challenge.

 

 I've made a Birthday card today to share with you.  I decided to challenge myself to use up some of the ephemera and stickers I seem to be hoarding.  

I started with a square panel and added some embossed lines and then edged the panel with some red ink.  I took some of the beautiful watercoloured flowers from a Cocoa Vanilla Ephemera pack and added it with some dimensional tape to one corner.  I then added a sticker from Mbellish - packs of stickers and other embellishments produced for a local stationery company (Paper Plus).  The little enamel dots I used were from the same company.  I was happy to use up some of my stash.

I'm entering this into the Wednesday Simon Says Stamp challenge - Anything Goes. 

Come join in the fun.  Check out the projects that the artists at Watercooler Wednesday Challenges have created then take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post. We’d love to have you join us.  You have until Mondays at 5 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (Tuesdays at 11.00am NZ time) to link up your project.

A Day for Daisies

How appropriate for the Northern Hemisphere that our sponsor over at Die Cut Divas is A Day for Daisies... a really spring like name for a digital stamp shop.  A big thanks to them for sponsoring and kindly providing some images for the Divas to use.

I chose to use an imaged called "Pearls in My Hair" to make my first card of the month.

Arlene has chosen a theme of "Use at least one embellishment"  How easy is that to do!  I coloured my image with Copics and then trimmed it to fit the centre of my die cut frame, trimming around her hand and the bird.  For my embellishments I used pearls and gems in her hair and a sticker flower and leaves and another gem.  Embossed my background for texture.  CAS as is my usual.  

Hop over to the DCD blog and see what Hannah and Arlene created.  The images from A Day for Daises are simply stunning and over the month, you will be very inspired.  Add those embellishments and come join us.
