Creating with a Quirky Flower Theme

If it's your birthday today, I hope it blooms with wonderful surprises! That is the sentiment inside my DT card for Quirky Crafts Challenge blog today. I got to play with a digi image called Peekaboo Lulu

from Bloobel Stamps. I colored her with Copics, then cut out the inside of the circle fro which she is peeking. After backing the image with purple paper from my stash, I cut a circle slightly larger than the image and "framed" her with it. Besides the flowers in the patterned paper, I adhered an assortment of jeweled flowers around the border. (Can you tell that the thee over at Quirky Crafts challenges is FLOWERS?! lol

A line of lacy border, a handmade bow and my birthday greeting finishes off my card. I hope it inspires you to create with flowers this month and enter the challenge. There are three sponsors in May, which means more bang for your buck, or rather more chances to be a winner. Besides Bloobel Stamps, the challenge is sponsored by Ike's Art and Delicious Doodles.

Happy crafting!

Think Pink!

Today brings a new challenge at the Outlawz Monday Greetings challenges. The theme is to use PINK on your project. I love a funny card, so I created my project for our anniversary. I reached into my magical bag of craft supplies and pulled out a sticker sheet with funny speech bubbles. I thought this one was very appropriate!
After coloring my image, a Dr Digi called "Made for Each Other," I "pinked" the heck out of my card, first with a sewn-border piece of cardstock and then with pastel pink-embossed paper. That nice fat bow finishes off the color theme. I added a few jewels, and those hand-drawn stitches coordinate with this lovely couple's own stitches.
All in all, I think he'll like it!
Dr Digi is one of this week's sponsors, and he has some fun images with which to play. I always have a difficult time choosing an image--there are so many! I hope you'll check the store out and fine some inspiration there, as I always do.
And whatever you create this week, add pink and link up with the Outlawz Greetings challenges for your chance at some free digis. And as always, crafters, have FUN!
