DYSU #69 - Be Inspired by the D.T!

Hi all, over at DYSU today we have a bit of a different challenge for you lovely bloggers!

We are asking you to ....
.... CASE the D.T! So, take your inspiration, CASE, share, and Have Fun! Go with the flow, and see where your inspiration takes you! We of course would love to hear from you lovely peeps if you do CASE us, so do drop by the D.T. and leave some smiles :-)


I was very lucky and got to play with some lovely images from our generous sponsors. So I made two cards for todays challenge!

My first card is using a beautiful image from A Day For Daisies, called Fashionable Feather.




The image is so striking, with her feathered head piece, it reminded me of peacock feathers, so that was the colour scheme I chose. I coloured her with Promarkers and Flexmarkers.



I cut her out using nestie ovals, and layered her onto some new memory Box papers.



The card base is from Craft work Cards, and I stuck some patterned paper onto the base from My Mind's Eye, and cut around the shape.


Here's another close up to show the glittery shine from the stickles I added.
The sentiment is from Uniko Studios Extra Time stamp set. Finally I added some buttons, twine and gems.

I was so inspired by myself (ha-ha!) I decided to make another card! This time using the very sweet image Me and My teddy from Little Darlings.




I have coloured him with Promarkers and Flexmarkers, and very simply cut him with nesties, layered him onto some patterned paper from my scrap box, added a WMS sentiment and some gems and voila!


He was such a sweetie to colour, now I just have to find a sweet little guy to give it to!



Finally, I have one more card to share, using one of our fabulous sponsor's images. I have used a background from The Paper Shelter, called Tango, and layered this onto some red and blue Core'dinations card.



The little butterflies are from a stamp set by Kanban, and the paper roses and gems from stash.
