Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #253 Spring

Welcome to Crafty Cardmakers challenge #253 Spring. As usual, anything you care to enter is fine, a card, scrap layout, mixed media piece or some home decor. It must, however, meet the challenge theme.   
                  Judy is hosting the challenge.

What can be more exciting than the coming of spring, new growth, rain instead of snow, higher temperatures, longer days!  I know all countries do not have to go through a massive change in temperature but ask my aching bones from shovelling snow for 5 months, slipping along sidewalks, dressing in multiple layers and walking the dog no matter what. Spring is always so welcome.  On another note this spring has brought us something different, please take care out there and stay safe.

OK on to better things:

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #252 Green

                                                Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #252 Green

                               Chanya is hosting today's challenge and the theme is Green!

 Sentiment
I choose this delightful digital fairy image from Creative Fantasy Art Designs titled Fantasy Fae Stamp26. I coloured the image with Copic markers, used a Spellbinders die for the frame, added some ribbon for the upright border and punched a couple of butterflies! I used another die-cut to frame the Stampin Up sentiment.  Quite pleased with the result and do hope you join us in another fun challenge.

A Grandson & wife are expecting twin daughters in March and I decided to start making some cards in advance in order to give them down the road.  All so exciting. I made a card way back when using this same Doodle Pantry image  (long retired) (see here), so I now have two.

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #249 Black & White

 

                                       Challenge #249 Crafty Cardmakers:  Black & White

 Welcome to 2020's second Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers and the challenge is 'Black and White' As usual, anything you care to enter is fine, a card, scrap layout, mixed media piece or some home decor.  I am hosting the challenge and I am looking forward to seeing what marvelous creations come our way!

I chose an image by Tiddly Inks titled 'Wryn - Grow a Little Love', coloured her with Prismacolor, markers and used designer paper (Stampin Up's 'Urban Underground) for the card background. I made the flower from punches & a die and added 4 rhinestones in one corner. The LOVE die cut (Stampin Up's Big Shot Expressions Thinlets die) finished it off.
