I love sparkly!

I love sparkly things. Rhinestones on cards are one of my favorite embellishments. Today is my day to post on Craft-Dee BowZ where our monthly challenge is ANYTHING GOES AND INCLUDE A HANDMADE BOW.  I'm using a very cute image from Candibean for my card.
I colored my image with Copics and used some light blue chalk for around my image. The pink flower pot and flowers are actually buttons that my best friend, Lillian, sent to me.
Here's my pretty double looped satin bow. Making bows is so easy with my bow tool.  I used to be pretty good at making bows by wrapping the ribbon around my fingers, but after getting my bow tool it's so much faster, easier and I save ribbon since every bow comes out great the first time. If you make bows for your cards, you really need to get this cute and compact bow tool
Our sponsor this month is Kinda' Cute by Patricia. The prize to our winner is three images from Kinda' Cute. I hope you'll join us this month at Craft-Dee BowZ for our ANYTHING GOES AND ADD A HAND MADE BOW challenge!

Life's Wonderful moments....

Hi
It is Tracey here with this months inspiration project. I have made this pretty card this month using the new Heartfelt creations 12x12  peony papers.



The flowers and leaves on this card were created using the peony flower/ leaves stamps and matching dies also from the same collection. I used the Tim Holtz distress ink in picked raspberry to colour the flowers and mowed lawn to colour the leaves.


The cute wrap around I created on the front was made using a Tonic  Studio die set called tangled terrace window box.It is very effective on the front of cards gives so much interest and dimension


.The pretty frame around the image was a gift from my Craft-Dee BowZ boss Donna. I have no idea who made it but it is so pretty.

The pretty organza bow was of course created with my Craft-Dee BowZ bow making tool.




I hope you will create your own project and join us  in this months challenge
Happy crafting
Tracey x

The Proud USA

Hello and Kathy here, it's my Tuesday to post for some inspiration.  

For my hosting project, I created this CAS design, using an image from Polkadoodles.  The theme for this card is in celebration for our Independence Holiday.  I know that our holiday will be over by the time this goes live, but I just could not resist this sweet little image.



 Here is a close up of the image that I colored using my copic markers.


 And here is a close up of the bow, that I made using the Craft-Dee BowZ bow tool.




I hope I have inspired you and I hope that you will join in during the challenge.  Our sponsor for the this month is Kinda Cute by Patricia.  


She has some adorable images so please pay her a visit, I'm sure you will find something in her shop that you will enjoy.  Up next is Tracey.

Until next time,
Kathy

Barbara here. Since it's Tuesday, it's time for "Inspiration Tuesday" here at Craft-Dee BowZ. And since it's the 1st Tuesday of the month, it's my turn to inspire you.

I am using a new die, a heart shape and I just love it.
Also, I decided to color the panel behind the heart with alcohol inks
