Cora, over at Digital Two for Tuesday, is celebrating her 200th blog post, which was on New Year's Eve. She asked for six volunteers to help showcase her wonderful images, and I am one of them! Cora takes vintage images from old catalogs, magazine, books, etc., cleans them up, and then offers them for free on her blog. Isn't that cool and fun??
For both of my cards today, I used one of her images from June 10. She has so many flower images to choose from, and you know how much I love flowers! For this first one, I printed the image and then cut it out with a Labels 27 die from Spellbinders. I colored with Copic markers and sponged a little bit of light blue ink over the image. I added some Star Dust Stickles to the flowers. The sentiment is from The Paper Company Studio and I scored a few lines around it. The patterned paper is from a stack I got at Michael's.
For my second card, I made a stair-step card. (You can find other stair-step cards that I've made here, along with a tutorial in one of the earliest ones.) Again, I printed the image and colored with Copics. I matted the image with some Papertrey Ink cardstock. I cut the numbers using a Cuttlebug die set. I embossed the piece on the front with a Sizzix embossing folder, after stamping the sentiment.Be sure to check out Cora's blog and see what her other guest designers have created. You will be amazed:) Thanks, Cora! (You can also find other cards that I've made previously with Cora's images by following this link.)
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
Both of your cards are so pretty. Love that image! And your granddaughter did a nice job coloring her as well. :)

I saw your beautiful cards on Digi Two for Tuesday. They're absolutely scrumptious. Love the image you chose. I have to say, your granddaughter has an eye for color. Her flowers are very pretty. I'll bet she loved the glitter you added, too!
ReplyDeleteBoth are beautiful cards Lynette! I love the die cut numbers too! Such a sweet image colored by your granddaughter too!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Lynette! These are gorgeous. I especially love the first...such simplicity, and that die is stunning! Thanks for sharing!

Wow! You have been very busy. But what great fun it must have been to have 3 of your grandchildren and DIL with you for 5 days. Looks like your 3 year old granddaughter might follow in your steps in creating pretty cards. :)
ReplyDeleteoh and by the way I love your middle name. :)
