Craft Your Day's Away Challenge#40 DT Card

Morning Peeps.  It is Saturday so it means another super Challenge is about to start over at

 CRAFT YOUR DAY'S AWAY .  This fortnight our theme is "Mothers Day"  being as it is only two weeks away.  This is the choice of our lovely Donna.

Our sponsor is:-

MELJEN'S DESIGN

The DT team were given some great images to work with.

My 8 x 8 DT Card

I couldn't bring myself this year to actually put Mothers Day on my card as I haven't long lost both my Mum and Dad.  I have put on the sentiment :- thanks for always being in my Balcony which was a freebie from Sentimental Sundays.

The image is "Victorian Birdcage" from Meljens Designs.  The colouring medium is Promarkers and Sakura Glitter pens, although you can not see the glitter in the photograph.  I have used Antique Linen DI round the edges.  I have used "S4-319 Lattice Rectangles Die" by Spellbinders.  The dp is from the "Mariposa Stack" 8 x 8 PS-006-00056 by DCWV, it is really lovely but the glitter effect doesn't show up in the photograph and the colours are a lot deeper.  The Lace and Rose heads are from my stash.

Hope you have fun playing this Challenge and good luck.

The image I have used this week is the very cute"Garden Worm".  This can be found in the 99c section of THE SHOP . There are some super images in this section but when they have gone they will not be repeated. Oops - This was a scheduled post and I did say be quick, the 99c section has been removed for awhile (Sorry) if you liked this image. The colouring medium is Promarkers.  The lace on the hat is from my stash.  The sentiment is computer generated and doesn't come on the image.  The image has been mounted using "S4-319 Lattice Rectangles" by Spellbinders.  The fence has been cut using "Lovely Fence" by Magnolia Doo Hickey's.  The dp is "Cherry Blossoms NWCE-P-CB7" by Nitwits.  The butterfly charm is from Mei-Flower.

Marjorie/Pam/Doreen's Birthdays

All three of my cards today are for elderly ladies in my block of apartments.  I don't think they would like my usual type of cards.  I have tried something new with today's cards.  They are all using the very lovely 3 Decals Textured rub-ons book by Creata Crafts Ltd.

This one is for Marjorie's Birthday.  The Violet's are February flower in the book.  I have mounted them using "S4-294 Beaded Ovals" die by Spellbinders.  The paper lace is using a Martha Stewart punch(something I should try to use more as I have loads of punches) The Happy Birthday I borrowed from a crafting friend before I moved house and she stamped it out a few times for me.

I would like to enter this for:-

ALLSORTS CHALLENGE - Free and Easy Feb Pt2

This one is for Pam's Birthday.  The Roses's are the June flower from the same book.  I have mounted this one using "S4-293 Lacey Circles" by Spellbinders.  I have used a borrowed stamp again and another Martha Stewart punch for the lace.
