Hello Crafty Friends and Happy April 1st, also known as April Fool's Day here in the States. This year is moving along at record speed and I hope you're experiencing the full effects of Spring.
Today begins a new challenge month at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog and we have 2 amazing and generous sponsors: Birch Press Design and Newton's Nook Designs. The Challenges are Always Anything Goes with an Optional Twist. The twist this month is Die Cuts/Punches.
For my team project, I've used the Tulips Stamp Set from Newton's Nook and also included die cuts to tie the optional twist into my design.
I've colored the image using Spectrum Noir Tri-blend Alcohol Markers; I should have used the Copics as these markers are drying out and probably need to be put in the bin. The plaid paper is from the "Summer Splash" 6x6 paper pad by Pink & Main, the fancy edged nesting oval dies are from Hero Arts, the enamel dots and string are from my stash,
The sentiment and main focal panel have been popped on foam pads for dimension. I think this card just sings SPRING! We hope you'll stop by the Challenge and join us this month by sharing your creative and inspiring makes.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna
