Snow Beary Cute

Hey everyone! How's the weather there?! If you're like me, you're still in the middle of winter! Yucky! I hate winter! The only good thing about it, is getting to use these fun winter time digi images! LOL (That's the only kind of snow and snowflakes that I like, I'll tell ya!)

We have a new challenge, and a new featured image for you, today, at
Shelly's Images! The theme this week is something new for us and a really fun one! It was Shelly's idea, and is so cool! The theme is Roll 'Em -On the Shelly's Images Blog, there's a list of elements, each assigned a number. The idea is to roll the dice (Or use the random number generator on the sidebar) to choose three numbers, then challenge yourself to use those 3 elements on your project! I wasn't sure about it, myself, at first, but it really was a blast, once I got started! I feally hope we do more of these! It was great fun!

Oh, and then, there's today's featured image, Snow Beary, available today only for a special price, in the
Shelly's Images store. Get him at the discounted price while you can! He's a real cutie!

And now, here is my project, featuring Snow Beary. I used the following numbers on our "Roll 'Em" list:

#0 - Doodling
#3 - Use 3 Layers
#8 - Buttons, Brads or Bling (I chose Bling)



My card layout uses the sketch at Inspirational Card Sketches. The image, Snow Beary, by Shelly's Images, is colored with Promarkers. I used a 0.1 fine point black Promarker, to do the doodling on the frame of the image. The blue snowflake paper is a scrap from my stash. The gold papers are from a new paper stack by Recollections, that I got for Christmas. The circles were punched with circle punches of various sizes. I added a white gliterry snowflake and a silver adhesive pearl, to add bling. My card has three layers. The image and the smallest circle are attached with foam mounting tape, for dimension.

Bloomin' Stitches

Time for a break from the Christmas cards, to show something different. It's Tableau Tuesday at Daisy's Doodles. This means the DT gets to create whatever tickles thier fancy! I went with the pretty floral card this time.

I used an image from a new set, Bloomin' Stitches, by Daisy's Doodles. The image is colored with Promarkers. I've used scraps of paper by Stampin Up, from my stash. ( I LOVE this paper pack! Wish I could get more!) The sheer ribbon is also from my stash, as are the blue pearls in the bottom left and top right corners.

My card for today uses Diamond Ring, which is today's featured image from Shelly's Images! That means this fabulous image is on sale, today only. Hurry over to the Shelly's Images Store to pick up this image for your very own at this special price!

I've colored the Diamond Ring image with Promarkers and added some sparkle with a clearstar gelly roll pen as well as highlights with a gold metallic gel pen. I found this fabulous black paper embossed with metallic gold designs, in my stash, and knew it was perfect for this image. I then layered it with a strip of gold metallic paper printed with tiny gold stars, then added black sheer ribbon with white splatter spots, down the center of the gold metallic strip. (It's difficult to see in the pic because the light reflected on all the metallics and almost blurred out the ribbon to where you can see the lines of adhesive beneath the sheer ribbon - and they look gold! LOL) The black and white patterned strip down the right side is actually for Halloween and is by Martha Stewart. It really goes well with the other papers, I think, and doesn't even look Halloween! (Yay, me, for thinking outside the box! LOL) The black and white printed paper strip is accented with metallic gold flatback pearls from Pizzazz Aplenty. above the image, I embellished with metallic gold branches punched with the branch punch by Martha Stewart, then added a two layer flower. The sentiment is a clear stamp by Studio G.

I absolutely love how this turned out! This has become a favorite image of mine!

I originally created this is an Anniversary card, but it could also be used as a wedding card or even just to say "I Love You."
