ANYTHING GOES.
You can read the rules....
HERE
 So here is my first DT inspiration post and I am very excited about this!

My DT inspiration card for you!

I used the image FREESIA VASE which you can find on the Etsy shop.

I coloured the image with Copic markers.

I cut a 5x7 base card and layered it up with papers in a pale yellow.

I used glue gel on the image topper to add dimension.

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

Thank you for visiting today and I hope you will visit our other DT members to see their inspiration too.

And here they are in case you get lost lol.

SUNNY DAY CRAFTING CHALLENGE - SPRING

Hello once again.

A new challenge at SUNNY DAY CRAFTING begins today.
**The challenges are now monthly at SDC instead of weekly.**

The theme this month is...

SPRING with an ANYTHING GOES option.

So here is my DT inspiration for you....

 I made a 6x6 base card, cut an apperture out the centre front.
I die cut a bouquet topper from a small pad in my stash.
I placed this on the inside on top of a base layer.
I used sticky foam strips to place the topper to give dimension.
I put a 'Spring' sentiment under the aperture on the front.

I hope you like it and you will join in with our challenge.

Good luck!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy crafting!!

Today sees the start of another new challenge at

The challenge this week is...

SCRAPBOOK LAYOUT

There is also the option to create a different project if Scrapbooking is not your thing.

Well I didnt think it was mine, and still dont lol.

But I wanted to give it a shot and see.

I had no idea what I was doing!!

I just laid everyting down on the main background paper and hoped for the best!

I really do not think I have picked up the concept fully of what I am supposed to be doing.

This was wayyyyyyyyy out of my comfort zone!

But I tried...and here is my result!

I have been told for a first attempt I did an excellent job.

I think they were just being kind LOL.

But thank you for the support, it is appreciated!
