Three options for making one card
a template
a set of given colours
and three themes to choose from: Friendship, Valentine's Day or Australia Day. It is possible to combine options or to use just one of the options. This is Deborah's brief for the January Card Chain Challenge. My card is a bit of a combination: a couple of colours, template and friendship as theme as it fitted all quite nicely together
Papers are from Desing House Digital, lace from Webster's and the image from Digital Two For Tuesday ... I have used the image before,I just love it. Hats and dresses are paper-pieced. Have a good start into the new week, Petra.

Vintage Women ....

.... at Digital Two For Tuesday: Fishing and Sailing Ladies
Thank you so much Cora for giving me the chance to host this week's Digital Two For Tuesday challenge. And it was a challenge! Both themes: fishing and sailing would not be themes I normally use. But once I started to think about what would be possible, I immensely enjoyed the project.

Sailing Lady:
This felt very much like ocean and cruises and luggage. I used part of the image (lady, part of the rail and life belt) and layered it onto a cruise ship background I found at art-e-zine vintage ephemera to create a travel/luggage tag. The Lady image is partially coloured otherwise the graphics is in sepia.

Fishing Lady:
This was more difficult, I am not into fishing and it was difficult to imagine what to do. Then my eye fell on a little door hanging next to my backdoor which reads: I am in the Garden. In this tradition I made a little hanging for the fishing Lady.

Here I used the complete image and framed it with cut nestability shapes and various layers of corrugated card and patterend K&Company papers.

Enjoy, Petra.

Baby Gift Tag

I needed very quickly a nice little tag for a new born baby boy. The image from Digital Two For Tuesday was just perfect for this
As the baby boy doesn't have any brothers and sisters I altered the image to just have the baby in the pram on the tag. It is printed on linen textured card, coloured with Koh-i-noors and layered on paper from Papermania and Mind's Eye. The ribbon and lace I found in my stash and the stamp is from Woodware. Petra.

Flower Lady

A wonderfully dressed Flower Lady going to the Springball
The card is cut with a Sizzix flower die. The image is from Digital Two For Tuesday, I did some 'fuzzy' cutting for the lady. The lady is coloured with Koh-i-noors and OMS and I couldn't help myself to use quite a bit of bling and glitter because afterall the Lady goes dancing ........ Petra.

Friends

A sketch from Sketchy Colors gave the inspiration for the friendship card
whereby I flipped and turned the sketch. The wonderful and heart warming image is from Digital Two For Tuesday

Have a nice weekend, Petra.

Flower Cavalier

This image from Digital Two For Tuesday is just perfect for a little thank you card - a cavalier offering his flowers

The paper is BasicGrey cut with nestabilities into a little card and various ovals. The edges of the paper are distressed with ink, the stamp sentiment is from Elzybells. I coloured the image with Koh-i-noors. Petra.

Digital Frogs and Pointy Stars

Each week 'Digital Two For Tuesday' posts two digi stamp images. The from the last challenge images (flowers and frogs) are from an old children's book. The one which 'tickled' me most was the one with the little dancing frogs. Although I am not a frog person (lol), I think they are rather sweet

Supplies:
plain white A6 card
paper - BaiscGrey, plain white card
stamps - digi stamps 'Digital Two For Tuesday', Elzybells
ink - Heine
colouring - Koh-i-noors with OMS, Copics, Sakura
ribbons - from my stash

I started with the initial digital frog image thinking it would be nice to emphasize a bit more the frogs by cutting out a second 'frog' layer. But once I had started to cut, I couldn't stop myself (lol). The moon circle turned into a sentiment circle and I also added some shiny and pointy stamped stars to the scene which fitted nicely with the Daring Crdmakers challenge of 'What's the Point'. Petra.
