MAKE THINGS BEAUTIFUL {POP Challenge 18 - Determination}

This month our theme for Challenge #18 at Path of Positivity is 

DETERMINATION

Ambition is the path to success,

persistence is the vehicle you arrive in.

William Eardley IV

I used the following beautiful image from The Pickled Potpourri - just click on the name of the image below to take you directly to The Pickled Potpourri's Online Shop:

Make Things Beautiful

I have up-cycled another empty 5-Roses Tea Box (yes we do consume a lot of tea). The folded circle embellishments were created with circle punches.  The bling is from my stash. The image has been coloured with Derwent Pencils and a Blender Pencil.   The design papers are amongst other from FabScraps, The sentiment comes with the image.

   

We are extremely pleased to announce that Linda W. is our GDT for the September challenge. Linda's work is beautiful and her ability to colour is amazing.  

The sponsors and prizes for this challenge are:

• A prize package of a $7 gift certificate to the Pickled Potpourri Designs store (good for any digital product), from our guest sponsors this month, for the post or project that the DT deems most inspiring of the bunch.
• Three digital images from Ike's Art for a person chosen in a random draw based on all entrants.
• One digital image from Creative Bug Digital Stamps for each person chosen as a DT Delight.

There will also  be:

• One digital designer paper (made to order in a few different ways) from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles for one lucky voter who leaves a comment.
• One digital sentiment for every single person who enters the challenge.

CIRCLES {DigiStamps4Joy Challenge 99}

{Digi Stamps 4 Joy DS4J: DT Project Challenge #99}

Another design team project for our current challenge over at DS4J's challenge blog. The theme for this fortnight is CIRCLES.  I decided to upcycle an empty Five Roses Tea Box (only available in South Africa). Its a lovely little box to gift some home baked goodies in.

I have used the flower from the following set from DigiStamps4Joy:

1. 3D FLOWER SET

The flower was printed on design paper and then fussy cut.  The circle shapes behind the flower have been drawn with templates and then hand cut.  The folded circle centre of the flower has been created with a scallop circle punch  The folded corner embellishments have been drawn with a Doing Life template, cut out and then folded.  Here is the tutorial for them. The bling and design papers are from my stash. The sentiment is from CREATE WITH TLC.

Looking forward to seeing your 'CIRCLE' creations. So hop on over to DS4J's challenge blog and link your Creations to Challenge #99.
