(EDIT:  Remember to leave me a comment on this post to be eligible to win  a $3 Shelly's Images Gift Voucher ... 

Winner will be drawn July 18th)

Hello Everyone!

I hope you had a fabulous, safe July 4th.

Thursday means another fun challenge at Shelly's Images and starting today, our challenges will be changed to TWICE a MONTH ... the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month.  Remember there is always a new Technique/Tutorial Tuesday prior to those TTT challenges.

Today's challenge theme is:

"WHAT THE TEXT?"

(use text/sentiment on your card/project)

Since I am the Design Team Lead for today's challenge at Shelly's Images, I have the pleasure of inviting a SPECIAL GUEST DESIGNER.  So, without further ado, I'd like to introduce you to SASSY (Sue).

SASSY'S SECRETS

Sue is from the UK and her design work is gorgeous!  I especially am inspired by her quirky stories and vintage creations.  I always come away with a big smile on my face after visiting this 'Sassy' lady!

FYI ...

You'll want to be sure and pop over to Sassy's Secrets and leave her a comment because she will be giving away a $3 Gift Voucher for Shelly's Images Store to ONE LUCKY commenter ... and ... I WILL BE DOING THE SAME so be sure to leave me a comment too.

Before I show you what I have created with today's featured image, here's a sneak peek at Sassy's creation ... it is GORGEOUS and you  can see more photos when you visit her blog.

NOW .. just so you know ... I went a bit crazy and made TWO projects for today's challenge which makes this posting even longer (sorry).

Using the featured image "DAISY 1".   I have manipulated it a little bit using WORD to showcase two flowers vs one, and I have placed Shelly's "Thinking of You" (coming to the store soon) in front of the flowers.  SU watercolor pencils and blender pen were used for coloring and I added a touch of Momento 'Bamboo Leaves' green ink onto the tips of my yellow Prima flower.

My 2nd creation is a 4"x6" TAG card with a pocket front.  (I will be doing/posting a tutorial for this "tag style" card within the next couple of weeks.)  I have printed, colored and cut out "Daisy 1" in order to place the stem down inside the pocket along with my homemade tag using a Crafty Secrets image.

The inside of my tag card showcases Shelly's 'Daisy 1" image again for my sentiment.

So there you have it!
