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.

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

A Big Thank You to Sunny Studio

 The challenge Theme at The Die Cut Divas for March is critters, real or imaginary!

Sunny Studio will generously contribute a $30 gift Certificate to the winner. 

There are so many cute cats in this set that it's almost unbelievable. I think I counted 10 cats.  They are also the cutest little cats.  I thought they were cute when I ordered them, but after coloring and putting them on this mini-slimline card, I used up some leftover colored pieces for a tag, which turned out adorable.  I'm using it for a birthday tag for a friend who loves to crochet - perfect for her, right?

My background piece is from the top of a cute paper pack showing all the papers in the pack.  This small piece was all I had left and oh, I love how these kitties sit on that leftover that I thought I'd never use.  All in all, I'm going to keep the card for awhile because it cheers me up.

Craft Roulette Santa Clause is coming

Just a cute little something.

Craft Roulette led me to make this card as well as two new dies.
The wheel went round and round.
Project: Card with 2 folds - Card holder has 2 folds
Colors:Jelly Beans - all the colors but silver on the card
Element: Math - I labeled the deer 1, 2 and 3 with equal sign on the reins to Santa on sleigh
Random: Markers - Copic markers used to color the snowman & Xmas lights

I just received two new dies last week and thought I'd use them for Friday's challenge.  I've never used the snowmen either from one of the Brass and Bliss snowmen sets.  I thought the Xmas lights were perfect for any jelly bean color or flavor.

Supplies:
Kat Scrappiness Happy Mail ( Mailbox) Gift Card Holder Craft Dies
Kat Scrappiness  A2 Postcard Craft Die 
Brass and Bliss Snowman Cheer stamps and dies
Brass and Bliss Winter Town Accessories Dies - Santa & reindeer
