613 Avenue Create #71-Anything w/ Twist Make Your Own Challenge

Hi, friends!  First, let me say Happy Mother's Day to all mothers. I hope you have a blessed day.
This week's challenge at 613 Avenue Create has the twist of Create Your Own Challenge using this chart:

   

Here's my card using Sassy Studio's Holiday Wreath:

I'm slowly but surely getting some holiday cards made - yea for me!! Here's the formula I used: Column 1: Image & Sentiment; Column 2: Die Cut; Column 3: Stickles; Column 4: Sequins; Column 5: Twine.

I colored the image using colored pencils and baby oil (a substitute for Gamsol - read about it on the internet). I cut out the image using an oval Nesties.  I added Christmas Red Stickles for the berries, and paper pieced the ribbon.  The die is popped up on the DP.  I then added Baker's Twine and sequins after stamping the small sentiment inside the wreath.

I'm entering these challenges:  Challenges 4 Everybody #41 - Anything Goes; The Glory of Christmas Challenge #33 - Anything Goes; and Crafty Hazel Nut's Christmas Challenge #176 - Let it Shine.

613 Avenue Create #63-Option Create A 2D or 3D Flower

Hi, there!  The new challenge at 613 Avenue Create is, as always, Anything Goes. The option is to create your own 2D or 3D flower - fun, right?!  Here's my card using Scrapper's Delight Rainy Days Digi 1.

The digi is so cute.  I used color pencils and gamsol again.  The borders are from my stash.  I added the rain drops using a retired CTMH stamp. The sentiment is CTMH also.  The corners of the image panel are rounded with a Fiskars corner punch. I lightly shaded the area around the image with chalk. The DP and cardstock are stash items.  I made the flower using a small Fiskars punch and put a sequin in the center.  All edges are distressed with CTMH ink. Finally, I used a Corner Chomper on the card base.

I'm entering these challenges:  One Stitch at a Time #204 - Use a Digi; That Craft Place - Flowers and/or Mother's Day; Sister Act Card Challenge #48 - Anything Goes; and Challenges 4 Everybody #39 Anything Goes.

Hope you have a good day :)

613 Avenue Create-Anything Goes-Option Use Your Stash

Good morning, Crafty Friends!  Today's challenge at 613 Avenue Create has the option of Use Your Stash. Our sponsor is Rick St. Dennis.  I've used the Daffodil Single Image digi. I have need for lots of birthday cards in the upcoming months, so I made a birthday card.

I colored the digi using colored pencils and gamsol.  I'm getting to like this.  I die cut the image uncolored, dusting the cut with chalk before removing the image from the die.  Then I colored another copy of the image, fussy cut it, glued down the stem and popped up the flower.  The die cut is popped up also. I distressed the edges of the flower, the die, the DP and the card with ink. The ribbon  (American Crafts) looks a lot lighter than the flower in this picture, but they actually match nicely.  The daffodil has a light coating of clear Wink of Stella, and I added some rhinestones from Recollections. The sentiment and DP are CTMH.  The cardstock is K & Company.  Absolutely everything is from my stash!!

I'm entering these challenges:  Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge -  always Anything Goes but must cover your card blank with patterned paper; The Card Concept - Floral (my style is Clean and Layered); Natalie and Amy's Challenge #18 - Flowers.
