Last Day for Die Cut Divas January Challenge!

Hey friends - if you haven't entered four projects in Die Cut Divas January Challenge, you can still play up until 9pm Pacific Time today. We're using our new stuff so join us - any new item works; just remember to use a die cut &/or embossing folder in your design. You can see inspiration from the end-of-month part of the Diva team HERE.

Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;

Astro Designs black; scraps of green

Digi stamps - Sunbird Spark Garden Fairy

Dies - Poppystamps Scalloped Pinpoint Frames

Memory Box Little Dragonflies (retired)

Other - SSS sentiment strip; Recollections gems;

Copic markers; Hero Arts Sparkle lacquer

Sunbird Spark is giving a $20 CAD gift card as the prize for our random winner.

I printed off the fairy image (a new digi file for me) and trimmed to a rectangle. Colored with Copics and added sparkle to the fairy wings. Blended some blue ink around the edges of the "sky". Next I die cut a black pierced mat (the scalloped frames set cuts inner mats) and adhered it behind the fairy panel. Added it to an ombre A2 card. I did cut a trio of dragonflies from a scrap of green, added a gem to each head and sparkle to the wings. Adhered them around the fairy scene. A printed sentiment finished the card.

Since my digi stamps are newly used, I'll add this card to Darnell's January NBUS Challenge #82.

For my bonus I used another new Sunbird Spark digi, also printed and colored with Copics.

The file comes with the girl image plus 3 items for her to hold & some sentiments. I printed them all then chose the bouquet and "just for you" sentiment. I fussy cut the girl and the bouquet image then layered onto a die cut oval. Used a sketch I spotted recently at Card Chaos CAS(E) where side panels are torn & added to an A2 card leaving a space down the center. The patterned paper is from BoBunny's Love Letter 6x6" pad that I've had for years.

That's it for today, friends! I'll be busily watching Justine Hovey's Summit - enjoyed the Thursday & Friday sessions that I could finish. Will do more later...

Thanks for stopping by & have a crafty day.
