GD AT CREATIVE CRAFT COTTAGE

Good morning one and all!

Today I have the pleasure of sharing my inspiration project for
CREATIVE CRAFT COTTAGE

The theme for the challenge is
3 OF A KIND
and I used
WAKING UP BIRDIE
a cute image from
 ROBYN'S FETISH

Here is my GD inspiration card

I used the following....
6X6 Base card.
I cut 2 mats out of papers in shades of grey, one being a wood effect.
I used the same papers to make 2 sentiments.
I coloured the image using COPICS
I placed some tiny flowers over the flowers in the image
and placed a pearl in the centre of 3 of the flowers.
I die cut some leaves and arranged them to give the appearance
of vines growing on the bird house.
I cut a thin strip of paper to make a 'stand' for the bird house..
I die cut a little fence and placed it at the bottom...
The I die cut some grass and placed it along the base of the fence.
Then I placed some tiny white flowers among the grss.
Lastly I placed the sentiments, one at the top, the other to the right
just below the bottom of the bird house.

LET'S CRAFT & CREATE #113

Hello and good morning!

Im here with a new challenge post for
LETS CRAFT & CREATE
which starts today.
The theme is
BREAST CANCER AWARENESS/PRETTY IN PINK

There is a lovely prize of some beautiful Petaloo flowers to be won!

Here is my inspiration card

I cut the card using my Silhouette Cameo.

I purchased the file from the Silhouette store.
I cut it out in white then adhered a piece of pink cardstock to the inside
so as to show through the support ribbons.
I cut out a pink support ribbon with a heart on it...
then cut it out again slightly bigger in white to give a shadow effect.
I didnt think it needed anything else.

And thats my DT card for this time.

I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.

Please do visit our other DT members to see their fabulous creations too.

Thank you for stopping by today
and we look forward to seeing your creations in the challenge.
