Tulip Time

It is beginning to look like Spring here in Northeast Ohio. We have temps in the 40's and 50's most days and the flowers are starting to bloom. I am anxious to see the tulips and daffodils.

My project for the Sisterhood of Crafters challenge beginning today is a card featuring punch art tulips. 

I started with a light pink base card and added a light blue mat. Each of the flower petals were inked with a matching color of ink to create the shadow.

The petals of the flowers were created with the wing of the bird punch and the stems were fussy cut. Popdots were to used give the flowers dimension  The flower pot was made with a 2 inch square with the sides cut at an angle. Last I added a simple white satin bow and sentiment.

I hope you will hop on over to the Sisterhood and take a look at the beautiful inspiration projects from my sistahs, then enter your creations.

Have a great day!

Birds & Daisies

Hello everyone! I am excited to share my newest creation with you for the new challenge at the Sisterhood of Crafters, hosted by Darlene.

Dar has chosen the theme of "Birds" for her challenge today. I can hardly wait for all the beautiful Spring birds to show up. Last month, I did catch a glimpse of a beautiful cardinal against a background of freshly fallen snow on some of our warmer days.

Just think before long, the chickadees, goldfinches, bluejays and robins will be singing their songs to announce Spring's arrival.

So with that in mind, here is my creation for this challenge.

The background paper is from DCWV and features daisies. The image is from a pack of images by K & Company. The sentiment is from one of the Hampton Art stamp sets that I told you about last month and once again the beautiful gold edged green satin ribbon is from Reasonable Ribbon. My friend, Judy, gave me the blue and yellow card stock that I used to mat the image.

So why don't you head on over to the Sisterhood and join in the challenge? My sistahs have some gorgeous inspiration projects to share with you.

Have a great day and Happy Crafting!

Sunbonnet Bouquet

The new challenge at Crafting With An Attitude began today and for my inspiration project I chose this adorable image called "Sunbonnet Flowers" from Bugaboo for my focus.

 

The image was colored with Spectrum Noire colored pencils. I chose this polka dot designer paper from the Paper Studio basic pad for the background and then adhered a piece of orange lattice designer from the same pad and cut with label die. (Sorry, I forgot to write down the name & company for the die.) After fussy cutting around the image, I used pop dots for dimension and added some silk flowers to the  flower pot with white pearls for the centers. Then using my 

1 1/2" scalloped circle punch and a 1 3/8" circle punch, I created the mat for the sentiment. Last I wrapped some green twine around the card twice and tied in a bow.

I remember when I was a little girl anything with sunbonnets was in style. For example: quilts, pillowcases etc. I am so glad to find digi stamps such as this.

That's my project for today. Why not head over to the Crafting With An Attitude challenge blog and enter? You could be our next winner.

Until next time,

Hugs from Ohio,

Terri
