Card Chain Challenge Reveal for March

Card Chain Challenge Reveal for March
 
It took me awhile to come up with an idea, but it finally hit me.  I could do layers - oh yes, I CAN do layers.  I took out the two Altenew die cuts I wanted to layer, then I took out some AI images I'd stamped 
and cut on my Scan N Cut a couple days before and colored the gals with Copics.  I went looking for a friend die, FOUND IT and began putting my card together.  I had a leftover postage card die cut to back the gals and lift them off the page.  Poor gals, their legs are dangling.


Here are the challenges we could have picked.  I picked layers.  The supply list is at the bottom of the page.

A Teddy Bear gardening is among the least anticipated sentences I've ever made.  I've colored a gardening bear and he's ready to start your garden today.  He looks more prepared than I do for Spring! 
I popped the Teddy panel on foam above a Kraft card base on which I drew lines & colored some with Nuvo Drops.

Supplies:

Copic markers
Nuvo Crystal Drops - Gloss - Dandelion Yellow, Ebony Black, Ripened Pumpkin &      Woodland Green

Altenew Brightens My Day

Be sure to play in the Die Cut Divas' Challenge this month
because it's all about the Flowers!

 Altenew is giving a $50 gift certificate to the  
 winner of Die Cut Divas April Challenge

This flower is one of my favorite Altenew flowers.  I am not much into flowers, but this flower is a joy to color and just play with.  This particular flower fills an entire card and makes it so easy to put together a card and make it unique with color and shading.
  I applied barely any color, but I love it against this paper from my stash
.

 

Supplies:
Altenew Build-A-Garden: Pristine Peonies (Stamps & 2 dies)
Altenew Enamel Dots (Green Meadows)
Paper in my stash
Copic markers
