SUNNY DAY CRAFTING CHALLENGE #14

Hello!!

I was asked to join a new DT this week at

SUNNY DAY CRAFTING CHALLENGES

The theme is always 

ANYTHING GOES

So without further ado here is my DT inspiration for you...

I made a birthday card using papers, dies and embossing folder from

SARA SIGNATURE COLLECTION ENGLISH COUNTRY GARDEN

from CRAFTERS COMPANION

I love this collection!

I embossed a 6x6 white base card

Then I used one of the edge dies and a sheet of the paper from the 6x6 paper pad.

It was half wood effect and half patterned.

I made a double bow in pink glitter ribbon 

Put 3 white pearls opposite the bow

Die cut a flower using one of the flower dies from the collection.

Stamped a sentiment using a freebie stamp in my stash.

Hope you like my card and it inspires you to join our challenge.

So here is my inspiration card.
I love white on white.
Always looks clean and crisp just like the first snowfall.

I used a white 5x5 base card and layered the front with a slightly smaller mat
that I had embossed with a sheet music embossing folder. I also embossed a strip of white card to fit across the middle of the front of the card.
I cut out some pretty die-cuts using dies in my stash and placed them using 3D foam pads to give a bit of depth to these. Then I die-cut a little winter scene and placed that over the top of the other die cuts using 3D foam pads again. Finally I used a little silver glitter glue.
Lastly to finish off the card I placed a sentiment in the top left corner.

And thats my DT card for this time.
