Brrrrr!

It's my Tuesday to post a card I've made for the challenge of ANYTHING GOES WITH A HANDMADE BOW over at Craft-Dee BowZ.  For my card today I chose two images from Pink Gem Designs named Winter Chloe and Yule Log. Using the png files, I had her sit on the log.

I colored my image with Copics and used white snowy glitter. The snowflakes are made with Bo Bunny paint. The banners on the left side of the card were made with washi tape stuck on white paper and then cut out.

My bow is a triple looped bow and it tied just beautifully using my bow tool. Have you tried a bow tool to make your bows? It saves me time and money since every bow comes out great now. I no longer have wasted ribbon and I can make a great bow the first time I try with any ribbon!

The team has made some beautiful projects to inspire you to join our challenge this month at Craft-Dee BowZ where the challenge is always ANYTHING GOES AND ADD A HAND MADE BOW. I hope you've followed us each Tuesday for inspiration and you still have a few more days to enter our challenge!
                                                                                                          
                                                                                        Thanks for stopping by!

Hi all
It is Tracey here with my inspiration post for this month. The sponsor  for the challenge this month is Bugaboo Stamps

 They are offering the lucky winner 4 images as the prize
I have used my all time favourite digi  image from Tiddly Inks for my project this month. I hand cut the card shape using a dutch doobadoo template .It was nice to do a different shaped card for a change . I used a spellbinders die for the frame around the image which I enhanced with some faux stitching using a sakura gel pen. The  butterflies are made with dies from tonic.
 The flowers are from wild orchid. .The flousishes are  dies from noor designs. The bow was created using my Craft-Dee BowZ maker and you can find out how to get your own from HERE .

 

That's it from me .I hope you like my project and that you join us in this months challenge
Happy crafting

Hi, it's Marty and it's my Tuesday to post on the Craft-Dee BowZ blog!   As a reminder, our monthly challenge is always ANYTHING GOES AND INCLUDE A HANDMADE BOW.  This month’s sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps and the winner of the May challenge will receive 4 free images.  They have an awesome variety of digital stamps, and there are new releases and freebies every week.

My project was inspired by a recent vacation in beautiful California:

I used Tim Holtz crinkle ribbon for my bow and decided to color it to match my project.  I used my bow tool to make 2 single-loop bows...the bow tool makes it so easy to make any size bow, single or multi-loop...there are helpful tutorials here.  If you don't have a bow tool, click here to order one.

If you'd like to know more about how I finished my project, please head over to my blog.

Thank you for stopping by today and we'd love to see you play along in the challenge - you could be our next winner!

Tracey will be back next Tuesday with a beautiful project, so don't forget to stop by.  Have an awesome day!

Happy Birthday

Hi Everyone

It's Barbara here and boy the first Tuesday of the month (now the first Thursday) came super fast this month.
Time for my post here at Craft-Dee BowZ.

The color orange is not one that I consider a favorite of mine however as I started making this card the card base looked best with the orange color I used.So............here it is

I made a double loop bow and it worked great with this card

I used my Craft-Dee BowZ tool to make my bow.

Not sure how to make a bow, not sure the tool is something you should buy,
