Challenge #52 at Digistamps4Joy

YES, it's time for a new challenge at Digistamps4Joy - Challenge #52 - 

"Create a tag OR incorporate a tag on your papercraft project". 

I decided to create AND sort of incorporate my tag on this flat card. I've made this type before as it works quite nicely by making a little pocket on the front to slip the tag into. I used the TEA TIME CORNER image from the Digistamps4Joy STORE and coloured it in with SN pens, then added the requisite "bling" to the tablecloth. Do pop into the DS4J BLOG and see what the other DT members have created for this challenge, and then enter YOUR creation in the InLinkz to put yourself in line for winning a prize!

Digistamps4Joy Challenge #46

The DS4J Challenge # 46 is LIVE and is running FOR ONLY ONE WEEK, which means you only have 1 week to wait to see if you are the winner with your entry!!! The theme is "WHAT IS YOUR WEATHER", and we want you to make a card showing the type of weather you are currently experiencing in your country, and believe me there is some weird weather going around at the moment!!
Digistamps4Joy has some super 'weather' images in the STORE in case you need one! Here are a few examples of what we have for this challenge ...

Hope to see your entries there for this ONE WEEK challenge!

Final entry for CDAC Challenge - Hot Cactus

This is my third and final entry in the CDAC Digital Drawing Challenge (closing 25 May 2012) for the theme "HOT". Would love it if you voted for my drawings after the 25th.

And here is HOT CACTUS. Shame poor fellow. I would 'melt' if I had to stand in the hot sun all day!

So that's it. Hope you like them. They will be going into the Digistamps4Joy Store as soon as the CDAC Challenge is closed.

Second entry for CDAC Challenge - Chillis

This is the second entry in the CDAC Digital Drawing Challenge (closing 25 May 2012) for the theme "HOT". Would love it if you voted for my drawings after the 25th.

Here is the stippled real-life drawing of CHILLIS, one whole one and one cut in half. I added the half-chilli so that when I coloured it in there would be something more interesting than just a red chilli to colour in!

CDAC Digital Drawing entries - Chilli Dude

I found a little time to do some drawings as entries in the CDAC Digital Drawing Challenge (closing 25 May 2012). We are allowed to enter 3 x drawings, and the theme for this round is "HOT" - interpreted anyway we wish! I actually wanted to draw this really hot 'dude' but he ended up looking like a scary person, so threw that one away!! Instead, I reverted to the cartoon drawing method, and 1 stippled real-life drawing. So here they are. Would love it if you voted for my drawings after the 25th.

 

This is CHILLI-DUDE. The first thing that came to mind with the word HOT was a chilli pepper, so as I threw the cool dude drawing away, and converted the chilli into a mod, muscle-toned dude! The sentiments are part of the set. 

These are the new releases in my Digistamps4Joy Store on Sunday 13th May 2012. Click on the name to take you directly to the store item.

Water Lily

I've Got Attitude

 Bell & Doves

Here are 3 cards made by DT members to show off the new images.

Meet me 'online'

This digistamp was inspired by my new little 'kitty' called Caleb, who is like my shadow! If he is asleep near me and I get up, he wakes up and follows me, then lies down as close as possible to me. He has also developed the habit of lying behind my keyboard while I'm typing, and while this may be fine now, he certainly won't fit in that space in 6 months time! Anyway, I coudn't resist taking this photo, designing a digistamp from it, and making a card!!

Patties Creations Challenge #33 - Birthdays or Thanksgiving

Pattie's Creations challenge #33 is now active, with the theme of "Birthdays or Thanksgiving", and with all the super images in her SHOP, it is very easy to take part in this challenge! So head on over to her BLOG and enter your card as we'd love to see what you have done with the Patties Creation images! Ok, now for my card as part of the DT.... I used the Pocket Watch image, as I needed a card for my daughter's birthday coming up soon, and, as she loves everything vintage, I thought this image was perfect!

Country barn

My 5th card for the CDAC Progressive Challenge #6. What an unusual image, this time from Ginger Loft . I have never used a 'scenic' digistamp before, so I actually enjoyed colouring this one with my watercolour pencils, as it felt as if I was painting! Thanks for the super image, and here is my card. Plain, no fuss, no bling (mmmm), but a super end result.

I love winter time

No, "I" do not love winter time, but this cute bear certainly does! My second entry for the CDAC Progressive Challenge #6. This gorgeous image is from Designed 2 Delight and as this image lends itself to lots of bling, guess what, I used LOTS of bling!!! Even the MS punched lace border is covered with a clear glitter.

John 15:4

I made this easel card for the CDAC Colour Challenge #24, using the digi provided and the two colours of green and purple - always one of my favourite combos. The digi was coloured in with pencils, the colours smoothed with a wet paintbrush, and the whole image cut out with a Nestabilities shape. The paper, ribbon, lace, and flowers are all out of the stash.The Bible verse just seemd to pop into my head when I made this card, so added it.

Flissy fairy

This is a card I made with a free digi from the CDAC colour challenge #23 with which we had to make an orange and green card. The digi was coloured in with pastel gel pens, and all the leaves were punched out of 3 shades of green tissue paper. If I breathed too hard, all the loose leaves blew off the table! The rest of the paper is out of the stash, and I added clear glitter glue.

Baseball digi

CDAC has opened a new digistamp drawing challenge - "masculine images". Probably not the easiest category, but certainly one where I often battle to find digis for the men in our lives. So here's my first contribution, a little bit of playing with the word baseball. Hope you like it! And, as I often struggle to find a digistamp that fits a DL sized card nicely, this one works a treat!

Sunbird digi

This is the second digi I drew and tested out. I'm not 100% happy with the image, so will probably be redoing it a little. Nestabilities circle cutout, coloured with COPICS and water-colour pencils, paper, ribbon, and flowers from stash. The card in real life still looks nice though!

Something Cute

Challenge #26 on Phindy's Place is ... make something cute. What fun! I could not resist the "flowertop fairy mushroom" image, so bought it, and what a super image it was to work with. So, here's my "cute" card.

Because the purple background paper I chose, came with the stunning glitter embossing (top right), I decided to keep the card very simple. The fairy was printed onto a light green paper, and the edges were stippled with purple and blue, to blend into the background of the card. I added lots of clear stickles to the wings. On the left is a piece of very wide purple ribbon, onto which I sewed some olive green organza ribbon which I gathered and scrunched up, then tacked onto the wide ribbon. Here and there I glued a few green glitter gems. And that's it! The close up of the fairy (below) shows the wing bling, and the colouring with my fluorescent gel pens, and Copics for the hair and skin (haven't quite mastered the hair technique yet, but was my first time with Copics, so be patient with me, I'll get it right soon!).
