NEWS to share . . .

Happy Monday fellow bloggers!  

EXCITING NEWS to share with you today!  

The lovely Holly Young over at Squigglefly has asked me to join their team 
and I was honored to say YES! 

Challenge Badge
So ... let's get started!  This week's challenge is GET IN SHAPE!
Now I must admit, I don't make very many 'shaped' cards so this was a bit of a stretch for me but a truly FUN ONE!!!   I've used the fun image named Plant A Seed of Love as my focus image.

I've used my new Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers for the coloring (still practicing) and sponged around the outer edge using Tim Holtz broken china distress ink.  I used the largest Spellbinder 'Beaded Circle' die for my base card and a Spellbinder 'Classic Circle' die for the main panel.  Kaiser pearls were my only embellishment and a SU 'Bermuda Bay' marker was used for the handwritten sentiment.

Inside View
I hope you'll take the time to pop on over to Squigglefly and check out the amazing artwork the rest of the Holly's Hobbyists DT has to share with you today.  For links to ALL the DT members at Squigglefly, please click on the tab right below my header.

Time to get busy on projects ... I got a bit behind with being down with that nasty flu bug and I'm STILL playing catch up!  Hope you are healthy & having fun!  Till next time . . .
And as always . . .

  6. So glad to have you on the SFDT Darlene! What a first project! Love the die you used - I don't make many shaped cards either and my largest dies aren't big enough! Love the sentiment that you hand-wrote and you have coloured the flowers up so beautifully! Look forward to seeing more of your fabulous designs!
