Jar with Heart Candy

Hi everyone!  Today I had fun playing with my stash, and have a card to share inspired by some fun challenges.  For this card, I combined images from two different digital set by Doodle Pantry--  Bottles & Jars and Heart Candy Ants.  

Before merging the candies in the jar, I colored each heart  with the help of Microsoft Word.  Then I merged the sentiments on top.  After coloring the jar's lid with Copics, I cut the image out and layered it on top of the heart die-cut with dimensionals.  Embellishments include a Prima flower, lace and a sentiment from MDS.

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:

CDAC Inspiration Challenge Group January through March --  color challenge

Bearly Mine Challenge #71 -- Hearts Galore

Party Time Tuesday's Challenge PTT#105 -- Anything Goes

Shopping Our Stash Challenge 87 -- Valentines, Hearts, Red, Love, etc.  (I used lots of hearts.)

Mary Kate's Hat with Heart Dangle

Happy weekend, everyone!  Well, it's time to start making Valentines so I spent part of the day playing with some sweet digital sets -- Mary Kate's Hat from The Digi Garden and Heart Dangle from Clear Dollar Stamps' Dangle set.  I love how these two sets look merged together.  I added some digital paper-piecing:  coloring was done with Copics, colored pencils  and a pink souffle pen.  The sentiment is from Doodle Pantry's Love Sentiments, and the cloud background is from My Grafico.

A New Baby!

New Beginning are always exciting especially when it's a new baby!  Tomorrow the family is gathering for a baby shower for my niece who is expecting her new little boy in February.  I thought this image by Deidre Mosher Designs would be perfect to make a card to go with my shower gift .  I colored the image with Copics and paper pieced the maternity top.  I incorporated some new dies -- Spellbinders Wonky Reckangles and a Die-Namics Fishtail Flag -- into my design; embellishments include pearls and daisy buttons.

Vintage Tub

Happy Friday!  I have a fun card to share today that showcases a new Doodle Pantry digi -- Vintage Tub.  I thought it would be fun to put something in the tub so I merged one of my favorite DP birdies -- Bird Bath Joy Color Plus  with the vintage tub.  Coloring of the tub was done with Copics and a silver Spica pen.  I also added some digital piecing to the towel.  Although it's not visible in the photo, I colored the bubbles with Copics; then went over the bubbles with clear dimensional glaze for some sparkle and shine.

The birdie is a pre-colored image -- to make it my own I shaded the wings and body with Copics and a silver Spica pen.  The background digi papers are from DP's Baby Basics Color Plus.

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:
