Be Yourself - )Floppy Latte - OSAAT

(aka Challenge 124)

Hi there all you lovely people!  It is Sunday, which means that beginning of another challenge at One Stitch at a Time Challenges.  Our theme is 'Use a Digi' - so other than that, the doors are wide open for your own creativitiy to run free!

This week's sponsor is

 and that image I got to work with is Funky Floral VI by Floppy Latte Designs.  I thought I would have a play with the image in Craft Artist Professional to see what I could come up with....and this is it!

 I used the image once as line art and converted it from black to white, enlarged it, and added it to the background.  Then I printed the image as black line art (as it would be out of the tin so to speak). The image made me think of peacock feathers a bit, so I went with the purple and teal color scheme with pink accents - using Flex Markers for the coloring of course.  The only non digital element is the flower next to the sentiment and the coloring of the smaller image.  I think the overall effect turned out very nice - I hope you agree.

I am going to keep this short and sweet, as I forgot to schedule my blog post ahead of time and am now running late!

Do be sure to visit the main blog, and if the mood strikes you, show the other design team members some love!  Their creations are beautiful!  Also, link up your own digi image projects for a chance to win a set of digi stamps(if you use a Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps image in your project) or to win $3 to spend in the Stitchy Bear shop if you use a non SBDS image.

I would like to enter this creation in the following challenges:
Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge #196 - Bright and Cheerful
Crafts and Me Challenges - Anything Goes
Operation Write Home Midweek Throwdown - Encouraging Challenge
ATCs and Cards with Attitude - Anything Goes
Simply Create Too - Use it Two Times (at least)


Right, the longer I ramble, the later this post gets, so I will shush and post this now.

Take care and I hope to see you back soon!

OSAAT - Summer Breeze

Hello everyone.  This is my first post as a participating design team member for the team at One Stitch at a Time.

The theme for the challenge is Anything Goes and it is being sponsored by Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps - and the image I got to work with is 'Window' by Priyanka.


Here is my design team card....

The image is colored with Flex Markers.  I cut out the image, including the fencing, the lattice work and the birds.  The image is mounted on a card from a Hunkydory kit.  I repositioned the birds in the image around the birdhouse on the backing paper.  It is difficult to see in the picture, but the fence is mounted on foam so it is sticking out a bit.  I added some Dazzlers flowers for a bit of bling and dimension, and a bit of vintage ribbon on the edge to balance the whole thing out (and also because the flower pattern on the paper does not continue on that edge as the original was A4).

Please do pop over to the main blog to see the work from the rest of the design team.  Don't forget that it is an Anything Goes Challenge, so it should be easy to come up with a project to link up!  I can't wait to see all your lovely creations.
