Autumn Wishes - GDT Card for Art By Miran Facebook

Hello.

I've got another GDT card and this one is for the Art by Mi Ran Facebook.  I got mixed up and didn't realize their Facebook is different than their Challenge Blog...duh.  Anyway, I did manage to find time to create a second card with one of Mi Ran's delightful images, although I had to scramble a bit...hee hee.

Here's the card that I came up with.

A close-up of the image I am featuring...

Missing You - GDT Card for Art By Miran

Hello.

I was delighted to be given this opportunity to be a Guest Designer at the Artbymiran Challenge for their Challenge #41.  Their challenge started a few days ago, so I'm late in posting this...yikes.

Here's what I've created, using one of their wonderful digital stamps.

Close-up of the image I'm featuring.

This image is called Dreaming of Spring, available from the Art By Mi Ran Etsy Shop, HERE.

And so... that was my GDT card for Artbymiran Challenge.  Hope you can play along with them in their challenge?  As always their theme is 'Anything Goes' and if you like to join in, you don't really need to use an Art By Miran image, although they would really love it if you do.

Wishing You A Happy Day

Hello.

Just a short posting here to show you a card that I've just finished.  It's a front-panel side-step card.

If you're interested, you can find the template for this card HERE.

Here's a close-up of the sweet image being featured.

- Davina (#192), an Art-By-Miran digital stamp, available from artbymiran Etsy Shop HERE

I've used my markers and a few coloured pencils to colour the image--colours listed below.

Love making these flowers--they're easy to create.
If you're interested here's how.  Use any daisy-like flower diecuts/punches.  I cut them out of white cardstock.  Apply colour(s) from distress ink stamp pads.  Mist some water from a sprayer until slightly damp and the ink spread.  Use your stylus to shape the flowers.  When dry and the flowers have stiffen, apply glue to the centres and add some flocking powder to the glue.  Shake off the access flocking powder.
