A Little Raper Piecing

Here is my entry in Crafter's Digital Art Center's (CDAC"s) Progressive challenge.  It uses the umbrella image from Nana Vic Digitals.   I haven't done any paper piecing lately so I thought this would be the perfect image to do it on.  The sentiment is from Quote Garden and I really like what it says.  If you haven't been to the CDAC site lately, you are missing some great challenges.

This is the card I made using the Petaloo flowers.  It has three pannels as the thbackground which have been embossed with three different folders.  I then highlighted it with chalk.  On top of that I used the PriscillaStyles bike digital image on a Spellbinders shape.  My ric-rac trim is also by Petaloo.

 

Here is a closeup of the beautiful flowers accenedt with a Petaloo hat pin.

Seasonal Fun

"Seasonal Fun" is the theme of one of the challenges at Crafter's Digital Art Center (CDAC).  It is open until the end of the month so you might want to enter.  My card reflects the  weather in Tennessee.  The grass is beginning to grow and all the small animals are beginning to come out like this little turtle.  You have to look closely in the grass as he is trying to stay protected as he ventures out.

My little turtle, who is dressed in its Easter finerly is from Pricilla's Styles.  He is colored with Copic markers and the sentiment was cut from a old birthday card.  The butterfly following the turtle is a sticker.

A Sympathy Card

This beautiful angel is from Shelly's Images.  I  placed her on a diecut from Cheery Lynn Designs called Waltzing Matilda.  The entire focal point was then put on a card which had been embossed with a folder.  I decided not to highlight the embossing.  The image was colored with Copic markers.  As an added embellishment I put some white flowers in the corner.  I think this makes a great sympathy card.  This card is being entered in CDAC's Progressive Challenge.
