This card was made for Digi Darla‘s Card challenge # 4 “Think Spring”. I downloaded the freebie stamp “Garden girl” . Digi Darla has asked us to think spring and this stamp was perfect for this challenge. I used some nice green and orange colors and added paper flowers. I also added faux stitching to the card. Thank you Digi Darla for the free stamp.

Here is an easter card I made using Michele’s paper-piecing technique. I printed out the dress on designer paper and also cut out her arm. I love this technique because it really makes the stamp pop out. It was easy to do and will definitely be making more cards like this. I used a new Wyrn tiddlyink digi stamp and colored her in with copic markers and used prisma pencils for the background color.

So it’s pretty slow at work today so I decided to check out some crafting blogs. I found Michele on Tiddlyinks Challange blog and fell in love with her card so I decided to check her out. She has really great tutorials on her blog and I wanted to share one of them with you. I haven’t tried it yet but I can’t wait to get home and create a card using this technique. In this tutorial she shows you step by step on how she does paper- piecing with her digi stamps. Check it out here. Enjoy and don’t forget to show Michele some crafting love.
Here is another card I made for the Cute Card Thursday challenge 205 ” Winged things “. I used Silver fairy from Wee Stamps as my digital image. I printed two images and cut out the wings of one image and adhered it to the image I colored in with my copies. I used Stampin Up card stock and misc designer paper. I embellished it with a pink bow.

So here is another card I made for two new challenges. The layout of the card comes from the sketch challenge on Dutch Cards. I’ve never made a card using a sketch so this was fun to do. The second challenge is distressing on DYSU. I’ve used two types of distressing on this card. I distressed the sides of the paper using my bone folder and I also added distressing ink on the sides using a sponge. As for the image it is the Wryn collection from tiddlyinks. The paper comes from Stampin Up’s designer collection and the stamped saying is also from Stampin Up. The flowers are from wild-orchards Crafts.
Other challenge I have entered this card at is Paper Pretties
