I'm sew HAPPY...a little late

Friday we started a new challenge at Digi Haven

However, I got caught up in LIFE challenges instead and I am now posting 2 days late, so sorry...

But, "Better late and still share my card, rather than give up on my idea and DT commitments"

 

Our theme for this fortnight challenge is a Color Challenge

Use at least 3 shades of Green

 

We are being sponsored by Beccy's Place

 

 

Here's my card using the Quilted Heart which you can find HERE

 

 

I chose to do a little paper piecing for my card

I started by printing the image onto a light green cardstock, cutting out the Quilted Heart

I did a second printing on darker green gingham pattern paper, this time only cutting out the squares

I colored the little squares with a medium shade of yellow / green Copic marker - YG06

I machine stitched the heart onto the white A2 card - which was rough in a few spots

Hence, the well placed white bow and my pop of RED heart

I finished with tiny white buttons

 

So thank you for understanding my lateness on the post, but there is still plenty of time to PLAY

Check out the How to Play tab HERE and all the Design Team INSPIRATION HERE

 

I invite you to join us and "Get Your GREEN On" for our Fabulous Color Challenge

You & Me...

SO SWEET!

My post today is a card I made for a Crew Call (Design Team call) over at
Technique Tuesday

To enter the Crew Call, you are given a list of 2012 Techniques to select from. 

You than create a submission using the technique you chose and enter that creation.

I decided to use the Faux Tile technique for my submission.

I chose a digi image from Beccy's Place - Strawberries, which you can find HERE

I used the following COPIC markers to color my image:

Colorless Blender 0, C-1, C-3, G000, G02, G05, R22, R27, R29, Y00, Y02, Y17

My piece was than cut into random 1" x 1", 1" x 2" and 2" x 2" pieces to create the tiles

I sponged around all the edges of each tile with Grey Wool ink

Sentiment from Studio g, inked with Memento - Tuxedo Black ink

Finishing touches include: black adhesive rhinestones, metal tag attached to ribbon with safety pin

 I love the way this card turned out and really enjoyed doing a technique card for a change.

Make sure to check out the blog HERE, if you are interested in applying for the Crew Call
