SS8 Challenge- A2 Cards for Purple Roses Box

Hi!

I finished the cards for the purple rose box I created for the Sisterhood Sundays Challenge #8.

 I thought I might link them up to the challenge as well, since they took me an extra 2 days to finish. I hope it's allowed by the challenge! :)

They turned out wonderfully!

This time, for the blossoms I used the Floral Fusion die from SU, crumpling and distressing the petals with Pale Plum ink. This makes them a bit more mailable than those Spiral Blossoms from Spellbinders!

All of the cards are the same inside:

Sorry about the bad lighting! It is getting dusky out now.

Here is another look at the box I created for the A2 cards:

I have decided to give this set of cards to my Aunt Tamy. She is the sweetest woman you could ever meet, always there for you, always smiling. I know this set will touch her heart!

Here is the inspiration peice from Sisterhood Sundays once more, so gorgeous! I know I will use it again and again!

Okay! Hope you enjoy them! Thanks for taking a look!

Have a wonderfully crafty weekend!

D2D Big Surprise Bear Get Well Card

Hello!

Happy Tuesday!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Delightfully Digital Challenge and party this last weekend! I had fun talking with all of you, and checking out the creativity! I can't wait to do it again next month! It really is a lot of fun giving away free digital stamps!!

I made this card for my neighbor, who requested a bright and cheery card for her grandmother who had hip replacement surgery recently. She also wanted the card to convey her sympathy and well wishes.

I chose the D2D digi 'Big Surprise Bear' because he looks so shy and concerned, like we would feel visiting someone in the hospital. And he brought flowers too! :)

I watercolored him with SU! markers and a water brush, then popped up a second layer for poshness!

I left the inside blank so that my neighbor could fill it with love and get well wishes.

She loved it! I hope her grandmother does too!

That's all I've got for you today!

Have a good one!

Sherrie

D2D Artist's Challenge & Pal's Paper Arts Color Combo

Hey there stampers!

I hope you are all having the most wonderful day!

I actually have a card to share today that serves two purposes! First, is the Delightful Inspiration's June Artist's Challenge, and secondly, the Pal's Paper Arts Challenge #46.

The image is called 'Potted Flowers' and is available for sale in the new Designed2Delight Digi Shop!

After printing the image on watercolor paper, I used my heat gun to set the ink, and watercolored the image with dye inks and my aqua brush. I ran the colored image through my Cuttlebug with a Lables 2 Nestie, and aged the edges with Chamomile Tea Dye Ink (as is the whole card).

The patterned papers are a combo of Thoroughly Modern and Razzleberry Lemonade dsp's, stitched to a distressed Very Vanilla, and adhered to the Suede card base. The colors are so warm and uplifting, so I thought 'Get Well' was appropriate.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
