Fall with Digi Haven

Another fortnight has come and gone for Digi Haven, but with that brings a new challenge
 

Our New Challenge Theme:  Fall

Here's my card...

using a sentiment from our sponsor...

Floppy Latte Designs

There are some really great samples on the blog from the rest of the Design Team
I hope you will check them out and be INSPIRED!

I have to say that making a card with only a sentiment was an interesting challenge
I think having some really great papers and embellishments is a must

My card came together quick...
All papers from my stash
I even found ribbon and buttons from my stash that matched the papers
It's AMAZING what I can find in my crafty space hidden in bins, boxes and bags

Come play along with us and show off your FALL cards
Remember...You must use a digital image and check out the How to Play tab

Looking forward to seeing what you link up
Thanks for coming by today - Catch the Frenzy! - Karen
 

Something Old for Digi Haven

 

Today begins a new fortnight challenge at Digi Haven

 

Our theme is for this challenge...

SOMETHING OLD

The Design Team had fun playing with the toy images from our sponsor - Floppy Latte

You can find them under this section - All Things for Babies/Children

 

My Design Team card for this challenge is this moving parts card...

I have to admit that I have been making this type of card for at least 20 years

I just don't know what they call it now days... back in the day, I don't even know if it had a name?

Maybe someone can enlighten me!

 

I made a BABY BOY card

If you pull on the right hand side of the card, the message swings up from the inside

 

The is a very easy card to make and a lot of FUN to give to someone too!

Let me know if you would be interested in a tutorial

8 x 8 paper pad by October Afternoon - Farmhouse

I printed the images onto a Vanilla cardstock and used Parchment ink to cover the images

This came out really nice and evenly colored - it photographed a little more pink than it really is

I added a bit of color to the images using my Copic markers in BG34, E71, R22, Y17

The images are cut out and layered for depth

I finished the card with patterned paper on the ends, a button and ribbon

 

I hope you enjoyed my card today - make sure to check out the rest of the Design Teams cards

A whole lot of wonderful creations, inspiration and sharing going on

I invite you to play along with us this challenge - we have two sponsors

Beautiful Butterflies for Digi Haven DT

Our new fortnight challenge at Digi Haven is BUTTERFLIES

 

Sponsored by Floppy Lattes

 

Here's my Gatefold card using Butterflies and Flowers

 

 

My card is a 6 x 6 Gatefold card using celery colored cardstock from my stash

The patten paper is also from my stash - really old scrapbook paper I never got around to using

I colored the image using my Copic markers in the following colors:

V000, V06, V12, BV02, YG03, YG23

I layered the image on top of celery and lilac cardstock

I finished the card by adding 2 dimensional butterflies, lilac ribbon/bow and some gems

 

The inside of my card has an old sentiment from Close to My Heart

 

 

 

I hope you will be able to join us - check out the rest of the Design Teams inspirational cards
