Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #254 Easter

Marlene is hosting today's challenge, Easter.

As usual, anything you care to enter is fine, a card, scrap layout, mixed media piece or home decor, as long as it meets the theme.

I chose a wonderful digital stamp from Beccy's Place for my Easter image. This image is upgraded from a previous version but both are wonderful.  I love the bunny, he is just so much fun.  The image was pre-coloured so I just added additional shadows to it. The flower die was a gift from a dear friend. Hope you like!

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:

 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.

                                       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.
