Digital Tuesday Challenge 'Child's Play'

Hello and welcome to another Digital Tuesday Challenge.  This week's challenge is called 'Child's Play'.  Simply make a card or project with a  youth image on it and be sure to include at least one digital element.  Our sponsor this week is Pink Gem and they are giving away three digis to one lucky randomly chosen winner.

To make my card, I used the Pink Gem image 'Josh on Bike'.  I printed the image twice and cut out and popped up both his hat and the puppy up on dimensionals.  It's really cute in real life, but it's hard to see the dimension in the photograph.  My sketch is by There She Goes (TSG166) and the paper is Lime Twist 'Fly a Kite'.  I felt the stars in the paper went well with the stars on the boy's shirt.  The sentiment is from Inkadinkado (The Mickey Mouse Set), and the inside of the card reads 'It's Your Birthday!'.  Two types of ribbon, a photo corner, a clip, twine, and brads were added for embellishment.

Definately Decorative Ferns

Hello.  I had some rare spare time today so I decided to make a more masculine birthday card, since I'm always short of those!  I pulled out a very old retired Stampin Up! set called 'Definately Decorative Fern's' and stamped it twice:  once in Mellow Moss ink, then, without re-inking the stamp, I stamped it again off to the side of the first image.  I then added another retired Stampin Up! image from the 'Upsey Daisy' set for my sentiment.  A wooden button, some ribbon and brads, and wa-la!  My card is done!  The green designer paper in the background is also retired Stampin Up! from the Patterns Pack II Collection.

Have a great day! Amy

Digital Tuesday Challenge: A Recipe

Hello and welcome to another Digital Tuesday Challenge.  This week's challenge is a Recipe:  Use the following 'recipe' on your card/project: 1 image, 2 papers, 3 flowers, and 4 gems, and be sure to include at least one digital element too!  Our sponsor this week is MyGrafico and they are giving away one digital stamp set and 20% off an in-store purchase to one lucky randomly chosen winner.

To  make my card I used a Pixel Paper Print image from the 'Monkey Girl' set.  My Sketch is by Sweet Sunday (Sketch 163) and my papers are by October Afternoon.  I actually had a hard time with this challenge because it was difficult for me to add all the embellies.  I wanted to stop after only one flower and not add any gems at all.  I'm very clean and simple when it comes to designing.  But I like the end result.  If your wondering how I have '3 flowers' if you only see one, I'm counting the flower in the image as one flower, and I layered a smaller flower on top of the big flower.  I just couldn't handle putting THREE flowers on my card.  LOL!  I also printed the image twice and popped just the head up on dimensionals.
