I've been into doing CAS cards for a couple of weeks now and I've almost forgotten what it feels like to add on an entire bouquet's worth of flowers to a card! But the challenge at Digi Haven this week is "Days Gone By" and they'd like us to do something Vintage so I scoured around and found this gorgeous digital freebie over at Graphics Fairy (click here for the freebie). Remember that one of the things you must do for the Digi Haven challenge is to find and use a freebie which will be available throughout the week of the challenge. This one is permanently available. Oh, yes, -- they are also having a DT call and I am soooo tempted to apply because I just love the whole idea of using freebies found on the web to enter the challenges. We'll see. It isn't like I'm not already serving on enough design teams. :-D OK, here's the card:
The image was already colored so I fussy cut it and layered it onto the pea soup dp, then layered that onto a lacy square doily, die cut from pale lavender dp. Don't ask me who made either of the dps -- they were just scraps left on my table which needed to be used.
All the flowers are roses from Prima and the leaves have been punched from a sheet of sparkly foam. Sounds weird, I know, but it looks really great IRL, and not bad in the photo, either. Finally, instead of pearls or gemstones which would have worked well with vintage, I thought the purple ribbon with the little gold stripe was the perfect thing so I tied a tiny bow for the doily corner. No sentiment because I haven't decided how this card will be used.
Challenges:
A&T Emerald Faeries -- Punches/dies
Can You Digi It? -- Purple, please
Cheery Lynn -- Use doilies
Eureka Stamps -- Anything goes
LEJ Designs -- Vintage
Lollipop Crafts -- Anything goes
Shopping Our Stash -- Use any sketch, old or current
The Cutie Pie -- Borders and frames
So, half your weekend is gone. I hope you've been using it for fun and enjoyable activities. No point in stressing on your days off. :-D Thanks for the visit, and I'll have another post tomorrow, then start the week with DT cards and new challenges for you. Hugs and Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
