Partial Die Cut Technique

Over in the Yahoo Group called Paper Crafting Friends we were challenged to Partially Die Cut a project. After many failed attempts I finally came up with this and turned it into a card! 

Split Negative Technique

My first attempt at the Split negative technique. It was all fine and dandy till I realized I did not have the proper color of pink in my embossing powders. Otherwise I am pleased with how it turned out.

Spring Dance

I decided while I felt I was gaining some card making mojo back that I would whip another card up for the Digistamps4Joy challenge! For this card, I used up some of the scraps in my paper scrap box, made flowers, added a bow, some buttons to the flowers, a little liquid pearls for the polka dots, and for my bling I added some glitter to the ballerina skirt!

Love Spring

I have been cleaning out some old digi images this is a Dustin Pike image that I had colored up with my copic markers and turned into greeting cards to replenish my card stash that has been dwindling since becoming a pen pal last September. The card for today is using this adorable elephant who I believe is telling us he loves Spring!

Spring Cleaning

I just love this image and have had it colored for years always trying to find the perfect card to place it on. Yesterday, I just let myself go and started creating a colorful card using this image and some old scraps of paper I still had on hand. I cannot bring myself to buy new papers till I use up all I have. When you need certain colors it makes it more difficult to decide where you are heading with your project. Since it has been such a beautiful week of Spring I went with bright flower paper and and flower embellishments. I added the bright sunny yellow bow and a product called liquid pearls for the adorable soap bubbles. The challenge over at Digistamps4Joy is Buttons, Bows, and Bling so I added the extra bling on the opposite corners for a little cheerful sparkle!

Wish me LucK! I also joined these challenges:
