Entertaining the Bunny & Bird

      It's time for a new challenge at Creative Knockouts and this week we have everyone's favorite "Anything Goes" for you to use as the theme.  Our wonderfully generous sponsor is KLM Designs.  Unfortunately, I just found out that the image I used, "Reading Gnome," is no longer available in the Etsy store.  :-(  But there are so many darling images over there that you could browse all day and fall in love with at least 50!  lol

     I merged the sentiment with the image before printing.  I colored the image with my ProMarkers, then cut it with a Tonic Studios scalloped die.  I chose scrap bits of blue dp from the basket, using them for the background and the top corners.  I'm pretty sure they all came from a Recollections stack.  The bow was hand-tied using crinkle ribbon, also from the scrap basket.

Spring Daffodils for a Birthday

      Can you believe April 1st is here?  No joke, no trick.  :-D  That means it's time for new monthly challenges and my first DT post is this one for Pattie's Creations.  Our theme is always "Anything Goes," which makes it very simple for you to participate.  :-D  

     The image I used is from Pattie's Creations and it's called Potted Spring Daffodils."   I colored with ProMarkers, then cut both the image and the sentiment with dies from Spellbinders.  I used scraps of dp for the background and tied a bow using crinkle ribbon (which was also a scrap from the basket.)

Winter Birthday

      It feels so good to be back coloring up Conie Fong digis!   I was on a break for nearly 2 months and I really missed them.  :-D  The one I used today is called "Emily with Penguin" and she comes in 2 different versions, this one and one with braided hair.  The set also has Christmas sentiments but, as you can see, she works well as a 'non-Christmas' winter image.

     She's been colored with ProMarkers, then cut with a stitched die from Die-namics.  I framed the image by cutting a diagonal scrap with the same stitched die and layering the image into it.  The "icicles" above the image were made by using a scrap bit of CS from which I had cut a large sentiment using a Memory Box die.  That was for another project but as I was about to toss out the leftover bits, I saw icicles and held onto the scrap.   A few days later, and it was perfect for this card.

     I printed the birthday sentiment, then cut it with an Avery Elle die.  The bow was hand-tied using some very old crinkle ribbon and I added a small, metal brad.

     Remember, at Conie Fong we have two challenges each month; one is for completed projects (like this one) and the other is for coloring of images only, without having to turn them into a card or other project.  Come play - all you need is a Conie Fong image to enter one or the other!

     Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie
