Hello....welcome to my world, or a small part of it anyway...lol. I have created a spring themed card today using Sweet Sunday Sketch #105 and a hyacynth digi from "Delicious Doodle", that had I purchased at Stitchy Bear Stamps store.I love their artists! I used Bazzill cardstock; which I cut into six pieces each, embossing the white with Cuddlebug folder "Textiles" (one of my favorites BTW). I placed them on a lavender side opening card, I had cut with my Fickars trimmer and scored with my Scor-Buddy.
I colored the digi with Derwent colored pencils and baby oil. And because it represents spring, I used Glossy Accents to randomly create dew drops on the leaves and petals. Glossy Accents is great to create dimension too. I then diecut the image with my Spellbinders classic circles and backed it with a scalloped circle in violet, also cut with Spellbinders scallop circles.
I cut a half inch strip from the violet cardstock and punched the edge of one with a Fiskars edge punch. Fiskars has a terrific selection of edge punches, (I think I own them all...opps did I say that outloud?!? LOL).
I then cut a slightly wider strip and punched one edge with the Martha Stewart "Spring" punch.
They were both mounted horizonally across the card, and the focal image, pop dotted and placed off center on the right.
I added a few dew drops (I purchased on ebay) under the word "spring" with glossy accents as my glue (unfortunately the glossy accents created a little mess around one of them [ I have to blame something, It sure can't be my fault can it? ;)) ] And then placed another dew drop to the right of the focal point for balance. Lease note I intentionally did not carry the top strip all the way to the right, to make it visually interesting.
All in all I was satisfied with the "clean"(chuckle, chuckle) results (CAS that is).
I am entering this card in the following challenges...
Sweet Sunday Sketch #105 Feb 25 I WON!!!
