This to That Challenge #6~ Flowers and Bling

Good Morning everyone!

It is time for another This to That Challenge over at Cher's Studio featuring

The Digi Bistro

Carley from The Real iCarley is our blog host for this week and all the details for this weeks challenge can be found over on her adorable blog! Make sure you head over there (after looking at my card) for all the details, the other DT's projects and to link up your project.

This weeks challenge is Flowers and Bling

The DT are all using flowers from The Digi Bistro and Cher has a whole bunch of adorable flowers to choose from.

Our card could be for any occasion~birthday, fall, thank you....anything

BUT

we had to add some bling AND make our flower 3D.

Here is what I came up with.

I wanted to design a CAS card to showcase the flower.

I used the Simply Tweet set

and cut the flower out at 4".

I then broke the flower apart and cut 8 more petals to use for the 3D flower.

Here's a closeup of the flower.

I used white cardstock, sprayed it with silver and purple glimmer mist (my Bling) as well as inked the edges with purple ink.

The petals are held together with a purple glittery brad (also my Bling)

This is the video I used to make my flower. Love the way it came out :)

So I hope you like my card and will play along with us this week.

Remember you do not have to

~use a file from The Digi Bistro

~cards can be combined with stamps or die cuts

~if you dont own any 3D flowers consider purchasing a file from The Digi Bistro

I know you will love all Cher's files~ I know I do :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT day :)

This to That Tuesday Challenge #2~ The Digi Bistro

Hi everyone!

I am super excited to share my very first project as The Digi Bistro's DT member.

This weeks This to That Tuesday Challenge was to make a Side Step card using one of Cher's super adorable SVG file.
And for the Prize~~ we will be giving away three gift certificates to three lucky winners. The winners will receive gift certificates in the following amounts
1st Prize – $15,
2nd Prize - $10,
and the
3rd Prize $5.
You’ll have a chance to take one of these gift certificates and use it at The Digi Bistro store to purchase any SVG set of your choice.

I chose to make my side step with the Simply Tweet file.

I used a tutorial I found over at Splitcoaststampers and

here is my card!

 

Cher's files are just LOADED with so many super cute cuts!!

I used lots of scrap paper for my cuts (still trying to unload the mass amount I have)

All my cuts were then inked around the edges using Pigment ink in a variety of matching colors.

I used 2 brads for the sentiment, googly eyes for the birds and pearls for the flowers.

I'm not sure the picture shows this but I painted the butterflies with Creative Inspirations Paint in Winter Frost. This paint adds such a beautiful sparkle to the butterflies.

 

This was such a fun card to make and I hope you will play along!

 

Now, I guess you'll want to know how you can become one of our lucky winners? It’s easy – create a step card just like I have done. Remember you must play along to win! You can use your cricut cartridges or SVGs you may already have and then add your card to the link over at Cher's Studio. There you will find the other DT's side step cards for even more inspiration! They are amazing so hop on over, get crafty and  post your cards for entry. The contest will end Monday 8/29/11 midnight, CST and Cher will announce the winners on Wednesday August, 31st.

 

Thanks for stopping by and I would LOVE to see your side step card!!
