When You Wish Upon a Star

Hello Everyone,

As I started to write this post I had a scary thought.

Six months from today, we will be celebrating January 1, 2020. 

WOW what an eye opener that is.

OK now that I got your attention, LOL, 

I want to share with you my cute card, 

and no it's not a Christmas or a winter card.

I have a friend that celebrated her birthday, yesterday, and as I made this card,
for my Craft-Dee BowZ post

I thought it would make a darling birthday card.
So my friend will be getting this card for her birthday when we get together

It's time for the start of the monthly challenge over at Craft-Dee BowZ
The sponsor for July is none other than

Her  digital images can be found here 
She has lots of cute images.
Please take a few minutes and check out what she has to offer

I am using
Moon Fairy Snow Globe
from her snow globe collection
You will have to check them out, they are all adorable.

As I was coloring the image it made me think of  the song
"When You Wish Upon A Star"
so that's how I came up with the sentiment

Here is a closer view of that image

My bow has 2 components for this card. Bakers twine and a sheer dotted ribbon bow,

First I made my sheer ribbon bow (just a single loop bow)
and next I made the bakers twine bow  (about 6 loops).
I stacked the twine bow on top of the ribbon bow and tied them together
The twine bow just needed a little umph
so I used that sheer bow to give the finished bow
 that little "added extra something". LOL

Of course bows are so easy to make using

Bugaboo is back as the sponsor over at Craft-Dee BowZ this month, 

so I chose a cute bird image - Bugbird01

I thought he needed some feathers so I added some purple ones to give him a little flair. This cutie is sitting on a branch so I added more leaves and some pink felt flowers.

My Bow - well I used the great bow making tool from Craft-Dee BowZ and I used some seam binding to fashion a bow. This bow was made by stacking two double loop bows It makes a great looking full bow. Here is a closer view

That bow was made using this great tool

Craft-Dee BowZ Challenge for July

Hi Everyone,
This is my second post for today. I always have 2 posts on the first of the month announcing the 2 challenges that I am involved with. If you are looking for my Sparkle N Sprinkle Challenge post, just click here.

This month the challenge over at Craft-Dee BowZ is ANYTHING GOES WITH A HANDMADE BOW. That's my favorite theme, it leaves it wide open for anyone who wants to enter the challenge.

Sunday, was the birthday of a wonderful friend of mine. So I made her birthday card and decided to share it with you and all the visitors over on the Craft-Dee BowZ blog.

I decided to make Linda a step card. I used designer paper on the left panel and then I cut a transparency into an oval shape. 

Next I stamped Silhouette Grasses on that transparency with Olive Green Staz-On. I overlayed it onto the DP and then applied a 1/8" tape around the front edge and covered the tape with gold leafing to make a very thin frame. 

Next I cut another oval in blue cs for the back step. I cut a Catalina Wreath using white cs. I added a little color and some glitter and kind of pulled it into an oval shape and attached it to the blue oval.  Linda loves dragonflies so I cut one from vellum, colored it and attached it in that oval. I attached the blue oval to the back step. The front step holds the sentiment and I stamped it in Faded Jeans Distress Ink and I attached that as well. Next I added a small blue panel on the face of the card in front of that sentiment. I embossed it just to add dimension and added glitter for the added visual effect. 

My bow was made using the Craft-Dee BowZ tool, and to finish it off I made a pearl stick pin. 

Well I am taking this card and a gift to Linda this evening.

Tomorrow is the 1st Tuesday for the month and that's my regular monthly post date for Craft-Dee BowZ, so please stop back. I have a interesting project to show you. The theme on our posts at CDB this month is a beach theme, so that's a hint of what you will be seeing.
