The theme for this week's One Stitch at a Time challenge is 'Use a Digi' - come along and join us. It was my turn to choose an image for my two team buddies, Ali and Josephine, to use so I hope they like the one I chose. It's called Lady Bug by Stitchy over at Stitchybear Digital Stamps Shop. I coloured it with Promarkers and after cutting it out and rounding the corners I coloured the edges with Distress Ink. I embossed a sheet of white paper with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and matted it on to a piece of Papermill's orange pearlescent card. The only embellishment is a Create and Craft wooden flower which I'd coloured with my Promarker before adding a yellow flower gem from my stash. The small card blank is by Craft UK.
The sponsor this week is Joanna Sheen but please check out the OSAAT blog for full details of prizes.
I'm entering this card in to the following challenges:
Tammy's Scrapin Corner - Anything Goes
I Love Promarkers - Anything Goes
Cards Galore - Anything Goes
The Poodles Parlour - Anything Goes
Pink Gem Challenge - Flowers
One Stop Crafts - Anything Goes
I have to say that the challenges for this week are a little thin on the ground for 'normal' cards. They all seem to be Halloween,Spooky or Christmas challenges!! I hope this little card cheers everyone up.
I'm only making cards for the OSAAT design team at the minute. I'm still not crafting as I normally would - I don't like to be upstairs in my craft room with no-one downstairs. I'm spending a little time in the afternoon in my room but I don't get much done. Thanks again for all your best wishes and lovely comments. The support I've had over the past few weeks has been fantastic.
A really lovely card Hazel - very clean and simple. Hope things are getting a little easier for you.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love this image and i love the embossing. Very pretty card. I agree about the challenges this week, halloween, halloween or halloween! I am glad you are back crafting albeit not as much as before but it will take time. Hope things get easier for you each day and it is great to know you have a great family behind you. Take care. Hugs, Jill x
