SHEEPSKI DESIGNS BLOG CHALLENGE #8 - SPARKLE & SHINE

Well here we are with Challenge #8 for.....

SHEEPSKI DESIGNS BLOG CHALLENGES
The theme for this challenge is....
SPARKLE & SHINE
You can read the rules....
HERE
So here is my DT inspiration for you!
I used Andrea's image 'WINTER ROBIN'

You can purchase it

HERE

I coloured the image using Copics.

I used a 5.5 square base card then used several layers in gold glitter and red card and a Christmas themed designer paper. I added a strip of the stripe paper across the bottom and added a red bow.

I die cut an oval around the image and used foam pads to fix this to my card front. I added a sentiment tag in the bottom left corner, the one piece that wasnt red but it had Robins on

so it was appropriate lol.

I hope you like what I did with the image and it will give you some inspiration.

Thank you for visiting today.

Happy crafting!!

This challenge -   

ANYTHING GOES with optional twist INLAID DIE CUT

This is my inspiration project for you.

Hope this will give you lots of inspiration.
I started off with a 5.5x5.5 base card.
I layered the front and inside with paper from the ENGLISH GARDEN paper pad
from CRAFT CONSORTIUM
I die cut the 'inlaid die cut' using a die from my stash.
Pretty butterflies and flowers.
I stamped a 'thinking of you' sentiment and die cut it with a banner die.
Finally I placed a blue self adhesive pearl in each corner.
Hope you like what I did and it will inspire you to join in with our challenge.
Remember its an 'Anything Goes' challenge and the 'twist' is always optional.
Thank you for stopping by today!
I sure appreciate all your visits.

Happy crafting!
