Imagine That Digistamp March 2017


This month I have used "Frogs in Love" just for a general card to show your love for someone.  This month I have used my prismacolor pencils instead of Copics - needless to say I am still learning how to use them!  Thank you Imagine That Digistamp for this digi set.

Aussie Digital Artists Open Challenge #2


For this month's challenge, I have decided to showcase a digital stamp from Ericraft, this month's challenge sponsor.  This stamp is called "Merry Cocky".  I love using Aussie stamps as our Christmas is in the summer season - no snow for us Aussies!  I have also used some chipboard from Scrapmatts, another Australian company.  The holly sprig I coloured with Copics but the bauble was already in that shade.

From the Heart Stamps - Free Stamp of the Month March 2017

This month's free stamp is Lucky Lil Birdie.  She is so cute and great for St Patrick's Day cards (if you celebrate the day) or for any card where you want to wish the recipient Good Luck.  Thank you From the Heart Stamps,  for another cutie freebie!

The Outlawz March 2017 Progressive Challenge


This month we have a beautiful image "Spring Window" from Beccy's Place. From a fellow Australian I thank you Beccy for this digi.  When I saw the window, I thought straightaway I must use bricks as a background and I could not resist adding a few cats, my favourite pet.  Thank you for looking at my card and don't forget to check out Beccy's Place.  She has some lovely digital stamps and lots of technique tutorials on her website.

Gerda Steiner Designs - March 2017 Progressive Challenge


This month's challenge is using Bee Strong image kindly provided by Gerda.  This is another attempt with the Prismacolor pencils, not sure how I am going, maybe it will be back to the Copics next month.

Stamps by Aurora Wings Challenge #45 Sprite Delight IV - March 2017


 

Thank you Mitzi for this beautiful little Pansy Sprite. This is my first attempt at colouring some digital stamps with Prismacolor pencils.  I think I will need more practice.

Scrapper's Delights Inspirations 16th March 2017

For my inspirational card for this fortnight's Inspiration Thursday, I have used Fantasy Mushrooms 1  http://scrappersdelights.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=89_161&products_id=742 as the background and the free image Easter Bunny in the foreground mounted with foam tape. As I forgot on my progressive challenge piece for March, I have used the DT Optional Twist Theme recipe of purple, 3 flowers and ribbon. Don't you just love those mushrooms.  There are many digis in the store that would look great with them.  Why not go over to the store now and check them out http://scrappersdelights.com/store/
Thank you for checking out my blog and I hope you and your family has a Happy Easter when it comes around!

Scrapper's Delights Thrifty Thursday 2nd March 2017



This month's Progressive Challenge freebie at the Facebook Scrapper's Delights* Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/376140345820051/  is "Easter Basket" and as inspiration I have added Baby Boo Bunny Boo to my creations.  This image is available at http://scrappersdelights.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_3_75&products_id=666
Bit of a story to go with this creation - I was getting into the Easter mode and thought the bunny suit would be nice in pink and then when I finished my card I realised I was working with Baby Boo Boy, not Baby Boo Girl which is also available in the store http://scrappersdelights.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_3_75&products_id=667
Well not all girls have plaits do they and boys look good in pink?  Baby Boo Bunny Boo has such a cute face, he/she could be either.  What a versatile stamp1
To save face I also made up a new Easter card and this time I used blue.  I hope you like my creations and get into the Easter spirit and create some great Easter cards with Easter Basket and all the other Easter digis available in this section at Scrapper's Delights http://scrappersdelights.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=89_95
