Delightful Challenges & Father's Day Theme

For my Father's Day Theme Delightful Challenge DT card for today, I used Wendy's adorable stamp called You Passed Set.  It is simply perfect for my husband who drives a little convertible periodically!  My stamped image was printed out on my HP printer and then colored and shaded with copics.  Circle and Square Spellbinders were used for my background and image.  My cardstocks are by Core'nations and Canvas Corp.  My sentiment is also one of Wendy's "Have a Fantastic Day"

  

This week's challenge is DAD.

We're asking you to create something for your dad or any man who has a special place in your life.

Creative Card Crew Challenge of Dies/Punches and our sponsor Delicious Doodles!

For my DT card for this challenge I used one of our sponsors images carlled Hydranga and Butterfliy.  I printed out my image 2x.  After cutting out the center, and edges of both of my images, I colored them with my Tim Holtz distressed markers.  Using my spellbinders, I cut out both the black backgound image as well as my surrounding blue cardstock.  I then layered all of my images and backgrounds.  Crystal lacquer was added fo my frame and background and then allowed to dry overnight.  The result was my beautifl dimensional image.   Using my rectangle spellbingers, I then layered my back grojnd butterfly paper and added pink coordinating ribbon.  I have to say that this is one of my favorite cards in person.  The results were very elegant.

This fortnight we are sponsored by Delicious Doodles

They have so many fabulous images and one lucky person will win their choice of 4 digi's!

Our challenge for the next fortnight is to use punches and/or dies on your project.

Delightful Challenges, Stash It, Lovin the USA and Pampered Paws Digital Paper!

For my Delightful Challenge DT project for today, I used Wendy's adorable digital called Lovin the USA Bongo.  My cute little doggie was printed out on my printer and then colored and shaded with my copics.  My designer doggie DP was also one of Wendy's designer paper packs called Pampered Paws Digital Paper Set!    I used ribbon and solid cardstock from my stash!  My ribbon started out white but I colored the ribbon with one of my brown copics.  I especially like to do this, not only because I get any color I want but it makes the ribbon a little stiffer.
