March Craft-Dee BowZ Challenge

Hello everyone

March 1st........Boy, the months are clicking by, aren't they. Well it's time for the March challenge over at Craft-Dee BowZ.

For your inspiration, I have a card that is made up of mainly paint chips.  You know, those paint swatches we see in the paint department, you know - the ones we bring them home and probably put in a drawer and forget about.

Well, I received some paint swatches to use on my March Craft-Dee BowZ cards and decided to make some flowers, not knowing if it would work. Well here is the end result of that attempt. The three largest flowers were made using a die.


I cut one of the swatches down into thin strips to use as an accent. Glitter on the white space between the colors makes for a perfect addition of glitz.

Speaking of accents - what would that card be without a bow. I decided to use a single loop bow  and of course I made it with  my Craft-Dee BowZ tool. That tool makes the perfect bow!!!


The card - oh the card,  lets take a peek at the whole card


Next time you are in the paint department, pick up some paint chips and get creative.

    Hello everyone,
    Oh my, spring is 3 weeks away and I know we are all chomping at the bit for it's arrival, I know I am. However I bet we have a late spring this year, and I sure hope I'm wrong on this one. I know I am looking forward to spring because my creative muse seems to hibernate in this cold weather. I seem to want to curl up and get under covers to stay warm.

    Since this is a new month,you know that means, it's time for a new challenge over at Craft-Dee BowZ.Let me share my inspiration project with you.


    I used a designer paper because I loved the sentiment that is printed on the side. It looks like the words are glued on but nope thats just the way the DP came.

    I just received that pretty flower stamp and thought it would look great positioned next to the sentiment. After I stamped it on the DP I decided to paper piece the blooms. Used another DP for the paper piecing. Next I added a pretty rose glitter on the flower outline and those large pearls were the perfect fit on the center of the blooms. I added a pretty green glitter to the swirly stems and on that stamp there are dots that add so much interest, so I covered them with tiny pearls to finish this off.

    Rejoice

    Hi Everyone,
    Thanks for stopping in today and welcome to March. I am really looking forward to spring, warmer weather and green grass and pretty flowers but we are once again getting more snow Sunday into Monday.

    Easter this year is celebrated on Sunday April 21. So you will be seeing quite a few Easter cards on various blogs for a while. I decided to get an early start.

    The Craft-Dee BowZ monthly challenge starts today. Hope you visit and you may see some inspiration and ideas for your card making. The Craft-Dee BowZ designers were given an Easter theme for all of our projects for March. Let me share the card I made for the Challenge post.

    I used my Craft-Dee BowZ tool to make a 4 loop bow. The ribbon I used is not a wired ribbon this time but the bow is very full, and it was easy to make using the Craft-Dee BowZ tool.

    Here is a closer view of that bow.

    Stop over at the Craft-Dee BowZ blog and if you like entering challenges, the theme every month is Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow.We'd love it if you'd enter one of your beautiful cards or a scrapbook layout or whatever you'd like to submit. It just needs a handmade bow.
