Black and White for Dilly Beans

Happy Friday!  You all know what that means, don't you?  Another new challenge at Dilly Beans.  Our challenge this week is Black and White and we do have a new rule.  From now on you MUST use a Dilly Beans image to enter.  Don't dispair, Megan will be offering a BOGO sale over the weekend so for every digi you buy, you get another FREE!  (Deets in the SHOP this weekend.)  I've made a fun birthday card using #465 Witch Hat Skull Stack. I've embossed the whote mat with a Tim Holtz folder, brought out the MS Drippy Goo punch and used some Tim Holtz washi tape for the first time EVER!  WooHoo!

The sketch is from The Very Sketchy Challenge for May on the Smeared and Smudged Forum.  I've actually used the Scrapbook Sketch and turned it a notch, but it suited my purposes better. 

I printed the image 4 times, fussy cut and layered up a storm.  The sentiment circles are a combination of Spellbinders and Cuttlebug.  The team had a ball with this one so be sure and check out the fab work by my DT sisters and don't forget the SALE this weekend at the SHOP! 

I'm also entering this in the Creative Moments Lots of Layers Challenge, Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes, the Nutcrafters Monochrome Challenge, Left of Center (using the LOC theme), Created With Love You Lift Me Up (Layers) Challenge and DL Art May Linky Party.

Outlawz Sunday CAS Challenge

I've joined The Outlawz online group and have been having fun participating in their challenges.  There's a new one for every day of the week.  Woohoo!  The Sunday challenge is always CAS but this week it's You Have Us in Stitches, a real struggle for me on both counts. I decided to take the plunge anyway, because that's what challenges are for, aren't they? 

I cut the honeycomb mat with my Cricut and used an adorable Jellypark image, Cute Bee Girl and flipped her in my Printmaster Program.  The sentiment is computer generated.  I hand drew a little bee and punched holes in the mat for the his flight and connected them with a Micron pen for the (faux) stitching.  then I popped the mat and called it done.  I have to say I kinda love it.

I'm also entering this in Penny's Paper-Crafty Stitching Challenge, the Nutcrafters Something Beginning with "B" Challenge, and the Artistic Inspirations Things with Wings Challenge, Moving Along With The Times Birds and Bees, and the Paper Players "In Stitches" Challenge.

Dilly Beans DOTS

Gee, as if you couldn't tell.  LOL  Our Dilly Beans challenge this week is DOTS!  Perhaps I took that a bit tooo seriously.  Lots of the adorable framed images at the Dilly Beans Shop have fun dotty backgrounds.  This time I chose #354 Amalia Framed (and flipped her).  She's easy to paper piece and I took my color scheme from the Sabrina 8x8 paper pack from Making Memories.  Just added a dotty bow and called it done.  Come on over to the Dilly Beans Challenge blog and go dotty!  Loads of inspiration and be sure to check out the SHOP where there's loads of new stamps.  WooHoo! 

I'm also entering this in the Fab 'n Funky Polka Dots Challenge, Ruby's Rainbow Black White and One Other Color challenge, Shelly's Images Anything Goes, and Nutcrafters Spots/and or Stripes.
