A few challenge cards...

Over at Glitter n Sparkle this week, the challenge is to 
"add a sentiment"... and I was lucky enough to get two images!

This first image was my fave - sooo cute! (Janessa and Kitty... from Digi Darla)
I tried to give her a really soft, subtle, gentle feel...
and so used my watercolour pencils. 
I punched some flowers and butterflies
and die cut the flourish and the label shape in the middle...which I also embossed with my swiss dots.
As the image reminded me of my niece... 
and her love of cats, the sentiment did too...  I have had it on the pc for a long time, 
and never used it! 
Because I didn't want to use a backing paper for this card, 
I selected a pearlised card...I think you can just about see the sheen. 

I would like to enter this into the following challenges...
Crafty Catz - anything goes - 6 March

Left of centre - die cuts - 13 March

Make it monday - anything goes - 2 March



This was the second image I got this week - Happy Lil Boy...from Digi Darla.
While the watercolour pencils were out, I used them for this image too...
think I need to pick up some more promarkers...I love using them - but only have about 
20 of them...and never the colours I seem to want! :)
Maybe I will try copics... hmmm..
Anyway - I digress...
The backing papers are dovecafts papers
and I used my fancy scissors to cut that edge on the thin 
stripey paper along the bottom border.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges...
Creative corner - green - 6 March
Delicious doodles - one for the boys - 5 March
Paper crafitng journey - make it manly / boyish - 12 March

What a really pretty girly card. Love the simple colour pallet, everything ties together so well. The character image is adorable and coloured wonderfully. Great texture and use of diecut elements.

Oooh that first card is such a wonderfully girly card with all those gorgeous die cuts making it so feminine. And that second card is just perfect for a little boy with that sweet image, colors and dp. Thanks for playing in our Add a Die Cut/Punch challenge at Digistamps4Joy!
