Creative Card Crew Handmade Flowers & Robyn's Fetish!

 
For My design card for the creative card crew, I used the digital image from Robyn's Fetish called simply Apple Cider. I printed my digital image out and then colored and shaded with my copics. This card's image is actually 2 layers for dimension.  My card stocks are bazzill and Graphic 45.  My handmade flower was made by cutting 2 circles (one smaller than the other) and wadding them both up. (You can spray lightly with a fine water mist if your cardstock is too heavy and it relaxes the card stock enough to make it easy to manipulate)
A brad was then added to the center.  This is one of my favorite flowers as it is sooooooo easy!

We just had a DT call and we have added 4 new designers to our fantastic team. The new ladies are:

Shanna

Margaret

Jan

Kelly

We are so proud to have these talented ladies join us and I know that you will enjoy seeing their work.
This challenge is sponsored by Robyn's Fetish. They make awesome digi stamps and digi paper as well. Check them out and give them some Creative Card Crew love!

Our challenge this time is Hand Made Flowers. You can make them in so many different ways. As you can see, there is a lot of diversity in the ways that we made our flowers.

Midnight Madness Sketch #116


For my design card for this week at Midnight Madness, I used this cute digital from Kenny K. I needed a card for a younger family member and thought that this one was just perfect for the sketch. I colored & shaded my image with copics, my papers are some oldies that I wanted to use up. My flowers were by prima, and were even already colored.  I used those spellbinders as well as some SU ink for the edges.  After I was done coloring her, I cut her out and added a layer for dimension.

For my Pixie Cottage card for this week I used this adorable pixie stamp called Pumpkin Fairy Hannah by Sandra Hammer.  I used papers and card stocks by Debbie Mumm, that I purchased last fall and didn't have time to get to yet.  My pearl swirls are by Want 2 Scrap (and are an example of the swirls in my blog candy giveaway).  My image was stamped with momento ink and colored and shaded with my copic markers.  I used crystal lacquer on my pumpkins, and (SU)dazzling diamonds on her wings,wand and on my leaf embellishments.
