31 Day Card Challenge!

Hi Everyone!  This month I am joining one of my crafting/blogging friends on a 31 day card challenge.  Mary Kate from Emkay Designs thought that this would be something fun to do and has come up with a list of 31 different challenges, one for each day of the month.

.

I have the cards for Day One and Day 2 to share with you today.  Whilst playing along with these challenges each day I am going to try and use up some of my paper/cardstock scraps and old stash.

Day One's Challenge was to make a card using Black and White plus one other Color.

I went with yellow and the very cute image On a Wing and a Prayer 3 from the Digi Garden

The Black and White Dotted Paper, the Bee Happy Scrabble Tile Stickers and the Scalloped Border are all leftovers from some Echo Park Paper Collection Packs.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-

Cutie Pie Challenge #28 Use a Digi

Eureka Stamps #8 Friendship

Challenges 4 Everybody - #4 Anything Goes

Sentimental Sundays - #122 3-2-1 Recipe (3 Colors, 2 papers, 1 Digi Image)

Day Two's Challenge was to use the Color Combination of Mint and Chocolate.

I used a piece of Green Shimmer Cardstock for the backing of my image panel which is the closest I had to mint green.  The chocolate chip papers are from Stampin' Up these papers are from 2009/2010 when I was a SU Demo and I have had scrap pieces sitting around since that time.

This card uses another Digi Garden Image, called Edward is a Prince.  I have colored Edward with my Tria Markers and added a touch of Silver Kindy Glitz and a Silver Dew Drop to his crown.  The light wasn't the best taking these photos, so I may try again in the morning to get a better shot.

I am also entering this card into the following challenges:-

Card 2 - Passion for Promarkers - Week #169 For a Man/Youth

Crafty Sentiments - Happy Birthday

Try it On Tuesdays - Lots of Layers

Tuesday Morning Sketches - #166

Use it Tuesday - #40 Use your Scraps (Choc Chip SU Paper Leftovers)

Pile it On - #40 For a Child

PTT#77 Color/Picture Inspiration

Hi Everyone!  This week's color and/or picture inspiration Challenge at Party Time Tuesdays is sure to cheer everyone up as it is using lots of different shades of yellow and the picture is a gorgeous close up of a sunflower.  I find yellow always makes me smile and my creation for this week's theme did just that too!  I think it is because of the sweet image from the Digi Garden I was using and the fun shaped card and sentiment I added with it.

For my card I have used the Beehive Shaped Card Cutting File which also comes with a number of Bee Inspired Sentiments and other items from The Cutting Cafe.  I haven't fully set up my new cutting machine (Sizzix Eclips) to use SVG Files yet so I have cut this file by hand.

The adorable image from the Digi Garden is called On a Wing and a Prayer No 3.  The Digi Garden is our Month Long Sponsor so be sure to pop by each week to the PTT Blog to see all the adorable images being used by the DT.  

This week some of the DT are also showcasing images for the Stamping Boutique and products from Creating is Fun and Viva Decor.  

The flowers on my card are from my stash and I have used my Tria Markers to color the Boy and also do some faux stitching around the edge of the Bee Hive.  The touch of Glitter on the Wings is from my Gold Glitter Liner from Viva Decor.

I can't wait to see all the sunny entries we have to our challenge this week, as it will probably be the only sun we are going to see here at present!  I do hope you will join the fun.  For all the challenge info, sponsors details and for lots of wonderful inspiration, pop over to the PTT Blog.
