Today was a good day for me to create!
I made a few cards for some of the current challenges from different sites.
First- at OWH http://operationwritehome.org/our-daily-bread-design-march-challenge/ the OurDaily Bread Design challenge for March--use scallops. This challenge helps get our cards to the troops; ODBD pays for up to 2 boxes to be mailed...as long as we post our cards for the challenge! Great reason to join this challenge!

Challenge #117 is to use the movie, The Sound of Music as inspiration or use music or instruments on a card.
A few weeks ago, Sheila, at She's a Sassy Lady, shared how she embossed plastic packaging so I decided to try it with the Cuttlebug music notes embossing folder. It looks odd in my picture, but in person, it is an interesting thing to add to a card...nice texture! The mountains are from Amuse and the sentiment is computer generated and punched with SU punches.
And then just because I was feeling creative-
here are a few more cards:
I used 2 new dies from MFT-I cut the solid buildings die in yellow then the die with the tiny windows- with black. I used some small rhinestones to mimic stars at nite. The front row of buildings is popped up using SU dimensionals.
And then I made another card with my favorite brothers! I printed this digi image from Mo Manning smaller than my card from yesterday and used a different color scheme.
And then 2 more cards with the cutie gal from Mo Manning... she is fun to color and I love her spunkiness!
Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!
Take care and craft on,
Diane

ReplyDeleteAwesome group of cards...I need to try that plastic thing sometime!
ReplyDeleteGreat scalloped card. I love all those colors together.
ReplyDeleteSo many awesome cards! I love Mo Manning's images - my kids loved her books when they were small too :) Embossing the plastic is such a neat look (I imagine a bear to photograph!) and I totally want to try it too! So glad you could come play with us again at *hiccup* Drunken Stampers :)
