Mosaic Background Card

Happy Friday!

It's time for this week's 

Polkadoodles Craft Challenge!

This week the DT was asked to create cards ...

1. Christmas

2. Any Polkadoodles Image

3. Make a "mosaic effect" with at least 3 different backing papers

as the card background.

Judy: My mosaic effect card was created using 3 papers,

a pre-colored tag and embellishments from the

Baked With Love - Gingerbread Digital CD Rom Craft Collection.

I created the background by cutting squares from the 3 patterned papers 

with a square punch and adhering to a piece of card stock

in a diamond fashion.

I hope you'll join us this week for the challenge!

We love to see your creations!

Forever Wedding Card

Hi there!

Today I'm over on the
Dies R Us Inspiration Blog
sharing my latest DT project.

At this time of year most crafters are creating
Fall/Autumn/Halloween/ Holiday projects, but my daughter
is "Tying the Knot" next week so I was inspired
to create a wedding card.

Let me show you how it came together!

I gathered dies, a 5x 6.5 inch card base, 2 printed papers

and a piece of white card stock, a of colored card stock, 

a piece of vellum. ribbon, mini roses.

I adhered the solid card stock to the card base.

The printed papers were cut to rectangles and added.

A small strip of solid card stock was place to cover where the 2 papers are together.

I added the ribbon to the left side.

My die cutting was done next using colored and white card stock.

The vellum was added behind the canopy and couple.

I adhered the die cut rectangle to the card base

and added the canopy and couple with foam tape.

The sentiment was adhered with wet glue.

I added the mini roses and decided at the last moment

to add some flat back pearls.

I added a bow.

 

Each of the dies I've used are linked

to the Dies R Us Store below.

Cute As A Button October Designer Inspiration

Hi there!

I'm here today with some

Cute As A Button

 inspiration for you!

This month I created, yet, another altered frame

with an image from the

Wizard of Oz Bundle.

I think you'll all recognize this one as the Tin Man.

This is the last image in the bundle for me to use.

I've showcased the other 4 in previous posts.

They are some of my favorites and I love

playing with the inexpensive frames I use for altering.

I colored with Prismacolor Premier Pencils nd fussy cut.

The background paper is decoupaged to the frame.

I used some die cuts to embellish thproject.

I created the flowers with heart die cuts.

The inspirational quote is from The Wizard of Oz.

I hope you like my project and

 that you'll check out this bundle

along with all the other  products available at

Cute As A Button!

And, don't forget to join us each month for the Blog Challenge

and the Facebook Progressive Challenge.

Oh Night Divine

Today I'm featured on the

Beccy's Place Blog

with projects I created using on of this month's new releases sets from

Beccy's Place Store.

Oh Night Divine

So, my take is done with unconventional holiday colors

and I added sparkle with glitter papers,

glitter glue and sparkle pens.

My color guide is below for my coloring medium

Prismacolor Premier Pencils.

I fussy cut the images and embellished with die cuts.

I loved creating these projects and hope you'll

check out this new digital stamp set.
