I'm sew HAPPY...a little late

Friday we started a new challenge at Digi Haven

However, I got caught up in LIFE challenges instead and I am now posting 2 days late, so sorry...

But, "Better late and still share my card, rather than give up on my idea and DT commitments"

 

Our theme for this fortnight challenge is a Color Challenge

Use at least 3 shades of Green

 

We are being sponsored by Beccy's Place

 

 

Here's my card using the Quilted Heart which you can find HERE

 

 

I chose to do a little paper piecing for my card

I started by printing the image onto a light green cardstock, cutting out the Quilted Heart

I did a second printing on darker green gingham pattern paper, this time only cutting out the squares

I colored the little squares with a medium shade of yellow / green Copic marker - YG06

I machine stitched the heart onto the white A2 card - which was rough in a few spots

Hence, the well placed white bow and my pop of RED heart

I finished with tiny white buttons

 

So thank you for understanding my lateness on the post, but there is still plenty of time to PLAY

Check out the How to Play tab HERE and all the Design Team INSPIRATION HERE

 

I invite you to join us and "Get Your GREEN On" for our Fabulous Color Challenge

You've stolen My Heart - Digi Haven Challenge

Another fortnight challenge begins today - Friday 19, 2013 over at DIGI HAVEN

 

Our theme is ANY ANIMAL

and

 I am OH SO EXCITED to share my card with you today

 

Our sponsor for this challenge is MY GRAFICO

Our Design Team was able to play around with the WOODLAND ANIMALS set,

Which is totally ADORABLE and I fell in love with the cute little RACCOON

He has STOLEN MY HEART!

 

I started with teal 6 x 6 cardstock, layered with designer paper from Authentique - Celebrate

 

I printed the image at approximately 5 x 4 and copied it several times to get all the layers for piecing

 

The sentiment is computer generated by me

 

To finish the card I added a red heart punch for this cutie to hold, goggle eyes and rhinestones

 

I hope this card has stolen your heart as well

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today - I hope you all have a FABULOUS weekend

My hubby and I will be attending the Paul McCartney concert at Safeco Field - Seattle tonight
