Lil Patch of Crafty Friends #56

Hi Everyone

It's time for a new challenge over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends. 

The sponsor for this challenge is 

I used the cutest image. This could be used with sentiments  of: I'm Sorry, Happy Birthday, Mother's Day, Hello, and I'm sure you can think of others.

That bouquet of flowers is so cool and this cutie looks like she's giving you that bouquet. 

Her name is:  Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime - Just For You

I added some daisies and leaves to compliment that bouquet. 

I also picked up a new die frame with leaves in the corners 

and thought Winnie looked great in this frame. 

She looks like she is in a jungle of sorts 

or maybe she is at the flower shop buying that bouquet..

My background paper has a very faint design but it too has leaves and a few flowers on it. 

A perfect design to go with Winnie

Birthday Wishes

Hi Everyone and welcome back

Its the first Tuesday of the month  so that means its my turn to post over at Craft-Dee BowZ

A really good friend of mine is celebrating her birthday today,

 so the card I am showing you today is the card I made for her.

Since Beccy's Place it the sponsor over at Craft-Dee BowZ for April, I decided to use one of the images I have in my treasure trove of digital images.

(It's an oldie but a goodie, not available anymore)

I decided to use a floral image since we are in spring - it is spring isn't it??

 It's still cooler here in N.KY but supposed to get warmer and wetter. Oh well its not snow. LOL

I love this floral sprig. I actually used 2 sprigs, one is flipped to give me a mirror image. 

Then I arranged these to make it look like a really full bouquet.

That sentiment is a die cut,  I cut one in that light purple and I cut another in black. 

Then I mounted the two in an off-set manner.

Here is a closer view of my bow.

 I made 2 single loop bows, one a little larger than the other and stacked them. 

I just love this look and its so easy to do.

If you are bow challenged, like I used to be,

order a Craft-Dee BowZ tool here and you will be an expert in no time.

Let me show you the inside of this card.

The flower is just a portion of the original flower sprig, I needed to make the inside look great as well.

Craft-Dee BowZ Challenge - April

Welcome back

It's April 1st and there's no fooling here. LOL   

Today it's time for the April monthly challenge over at Craft-Dee BowZ

April Sponsor - Beccy's Place

Beccy has a super array of digital kits and you are sure to find something to suit your needs.

Let me share my card with you

As I looked at this old pump I thought it would look great next to a tree. 

I used an embossing folder to add the tree. I colored the tree sponging brown to the trunk and limbs areas and used my Distresed Crayon - twisted citron - to paint the green on the leaves.

Let me show a closer view of the pump.

I love this image. Also, see those leaves falling, well I got a blob of green in 2 different spots so I just added some leaf shapes and made it look like leaves falling, no mistakes, just opportunities. LOL

Also I added some stones to the bottom of the image just to fill up the space at the bottom. 

Craft-Dee BowZ has the best bow making tool

I made a layered bow and added some leaves to the knot area for added interest.
