Prize ~ 2 Images

I made a card using an image from All Dressed Up. I absolutely love this image! She is called Pretty Bonnet. Isn't she just wonderful!

I actually used a stamping technique to make the background. This is where I got the idea from. It really is a terrific technique. 

I used Alt & New Vintage Flowers stamp set. I colored everything with my Copics. The clouds were made by using Stampabilities, light blue ink pad.

It really didn't take all that long to make and yet I really am pleased on the results. :)

Come and join us this challenge. Wonderful prizes to the winners.

Hugs, and happy carfting!

Scrapbook Stamp Society- Shaker Card

Hello my crafting friends,

Today for Scrapbook Stamp Society, I decided to share a shaker card that I made using Fancy Pants Bloomin Besties img179.

I have never made a shaker card before so this is my first time making one. A good friend of mine sent me a shaker card for Christmas. The plastic part looked like it had been sewn so I asked her what she did, or used to make it. She used a fuse tool. I had never heard of it before so I went to YouTube. Here is a link if you are like me and have no clue on what it is. The link you will find here.
So, I went and bought the fuse tool and decided to give it a try. I have to say, it is really easy to use and holds what ever you put inside extremely well. :)
Thank you Larelyn for the tip on the fuse tool!
Hugs, and happy crafting.
Sandy.

My Besties International Challenge- Anything Goes- Option Flowers Are Bloomin

Today starts a new challenge at My Besties International. The challenge runs through April 27th.
The challenge is "Anything Goes" with an option- Flowers Are Bloomin. You get more chance to win if you go with the option. So lets see some flowers on your projects. :)

This cute little image is Scan0118. She is from Giggle Box Dolls called, Bloommin Besties.
I had just gotten the bunny butt die cut and couldn't wait to use it. When I saw this Besties girl in a pot, I thought it would be perfect. The bunny's behind is just so big that I wanted to have it's rear end stuck in a fence. :)
We would love if you would come and participate in the challenges. There is great Besties images to be won. :)
Hope to see you there!
Hugs, and happy crafting.
Sandy.
