Yesterday I did not craft. My room was such a mess that I literally couldn't walk around or find ANYTHING. It was causing me so much duress I HAD to clean it up (and believe me, I have a huge tolerance for clutter, LOL). Fortuanately this morning I was able to get right in and do the challenge for Oh Alice! which is a sketch done by the fabulous DT member Tasha along with daisies or a similar flower. I LOVE this sketch and remembered I had what looks to me like a daisy chain trim right in my stash (AND I was able to find it, WooHoo!) so I used it to create the swish from the sketch. I followed it quite literally with a few extra embellishments. The gorgeous stamp is a Sweet Pea by Elaine Cox, colored with my Copics, cut and matted with my Petite Ovals Nesties. The sentiment is from Sassy Studio Designs and the gorgeous crocheted flowers are hand made by Leah at Paper Blossoms. (I'm afraid it doesn't look like she's selling them anymore, but they're lovely!)
The daisy chain created qite a bit of bulk so both the plaid mat (Basic Grey Kioshi) and the image are popped. (Who am I kidding? You know I would have popped them anyway. LOL) Thanks for another great challenge, ladies! xxD

Oh that is so sweet, love your Alice, the crocheted flowers are perfect. I love it. Hugs
ReplyDeleteThe first things I noticed were those little crocheted flowers. They are gorgeous and fit so perfectly with this card! Great job!
ReplyDeleteHi, Donna. That card is adorable! I love those crocheted flowers (I'll have to do some of those)!!!
ReplyDeleteYour craft room sounds like mine before you "decluttered" it. I really need to clean mine -- can't find a thing; I'm using only what I can get my hands on, hee-hee!
What a unique sketch and you made it POP! Donna! :) Love the image and the colors. Very cheerful and summery.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

I just made one of those crocheted flowers the other day...
ReplyDeleteI love your "Alice"... and love all the awesome details you add to your cards. hugs
Donna,
ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable - I love the almost country feel to the card. How much do you love your Copics? Now that I'm just entering the world of stamping and I've only used Magic Pencil - I REALLY want Copics! Ugh - my hubby is going to kill me when he finds out how much those cost!!! LOL
Beautiful Card - good luck in the challenge!

ReplyDeleteDonna-
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the BG Kioshi paper. That's one line that I have a hard time using - although it's still beautiful. It coordinates so well with your project. And, I love the other 3-D objects you used.
