So Thankful

Be sure to visit Monica at Monica's Craft Corner

Arlene thinks the flower is almost neon and belongs to an upbeat modern girl.  It wasn't exactly the effect she was going for, but found she really liked it.  She sends a big thank you to the sponsors.

Thank you to each of our sponsors and to each of you who entered a challenge.  Come back tomorrow for a new challenge here at the Die Cut Divas.

Wishing you the best

Dawn here with a sweet puppy to wish you the best.

I have taken some liberties with Hannah's sketch

 

I used a circle for the centre and the diamond behind.  Used Spellbinder dies, a Simon Says Stamp die and stamp set for my banner and in the corners, a La-La Land die.

Just a few more days to enter our challenge.  See you there!

In the Christmas Mood

Marsha is a procrastinator. She puts off making Christmas cards until the last minute.  But this cute Bugaboo image, Christmas Carolers,  might even get her in the Christmas mood.

Some great sponsors for our blog.  

Be sure to visit time and time again.

I fell in love with Bugaboo's Sun Bonnet collection of images and I found one I hadn't used before, so here she is, ready for trick or treating.   The feather was a gift and I just had to use it, a wild feather after my Copics got hold if it.  The tips of the feather are greenish at the ends.  I used a gray T Copic marker on the pumpkin container.  Patterned paper solved my diagonal background and I somehow made purple and green and orange coordinate.  But HEY, check the color wheel.

COLOR WHEEL - TRIAD Violet (Purple), Orange and Green

Check out the wheel below and you can see a simple wheel showing triads.  Red, Yellow and Blue represent a triad.  So even though I simply chose purple as a color to surround my witch, it actually had some color theory behind it, painters' color theory.

Trick Or Treat

Hello all, Monica here with my second post for the sketch challenge on the Die Cut Diva's blog. Today I went with this sketch...

Today I decided to represent One Happy Cut. Our other sponsor is Bugaboo and you see can see my first card here that show cased both sponsors.

My card...

I started my card by die cutting the jack-o-lantern face twice, then inlaid the yellow bits into the orange pumpkin. Stamped the sentiment and added some clear wink of stella to the yellow pieces. I adhered my layers onto the embossed base. To finish the card I added some washi to the opposite corners and added a bow to follow the sketch.

Here is a closer look at the little details...

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!!

The image is Flower Puppy from Bugaboo stamps and colored with Copics. The image is cut out using Spellbinders Labels Eighteen.

Hi there.  Dawn here to share some inspiration for the sketch challenge....

Our fabulous sponsors this month are

 A $15 gift certificate from

Bugaboo Digital Stamps will allow you to choose 
seven free digital stamps. 

and here are the sketches again...

I chose the landscape design for my card.

I coloured up my image with Copic markers and then used a very light colour behind for my background.  Took some striped PP and then used my dies to make the frame.  Finished with the three pink gems.  I will put the sentiment inside as it was such a cute image, I did not want to distract from it,

BUGABOO AND ONE HAPPY CUT

I went out of my comfort zone with this design.  I love this Bugaboo image and thought green was the Xmas color for this lass.  The Spellbinders die-cut is so unusual that it's always fun to design around.  But this time, I didn't have to design.  I used one of Hannah's sketches for the month.  

Be sure to join in the challenge - choose a sketch and go with it!

U R Cool

This month at Die Cut Divas is a sketch challenge. We hope you join us, our sponsors are

Bugaboo stamps and One Happy Cut. 

There are two sketches to try I chose the one below for my card today and I am showcasing both sponsors.

Here is my take on the sketch.

I colored my Bugaboo image with copics and cut it down to size. Adhered it to a black piece of cardstock. Before putting  the cardstock panel onto my pattern paper I punched holes in it for the apple brads. Once all the layers were glued to the base I die cut my sentiment and added it to the card. 

I'm hoping one of my three boys will enjoy working the word puzzle! 

Thanks for stopping by and have great day!!!

Bookmark

Hi, Michelle here today! I've brought you a bookmark today to share using Bugaboo Stamps Rottweiler Trio-and taking this sketch:

and making it a bookmark by taking a few liberties with the sketch-

I colored this image in Copics and realized that my home printer isn't compatible with my markers, so there are a few smudges, but it's a bookmark and won't be seen except by me!

If you would like more information on the materials I used, please join me at Just A Nutter Paper Crafter!
