SVG Cuts ATC State/Country Swap

SVG Cuts

Swap #9 

State/Country

Did you know SVG Cuts has swaps?

I didn't, but I do now.  

 This is swap #9

State or country you were born in.

 I signed up for 2 groups...

so to me, that means I make 2 different cards.

However so far I received one card from someone who was on 2 lists with me.

I have asked if this is the case but haven't heard back yet.

AnyHoo...I made 2 different cards.

New York, where I was born.

And Virginia, where live and call home.

I did it as a book so I could put more information into the card.

I can't wait to see all the cards I get from this.

CDAC Inspirational Challenge April-June

Another CDAC Challenge

this time, 

Inspirational.

Another Challenge at CDAC is 

Inspirational.

Here is the photo we are to take inspiration from...

I was given a set of images to use on this...

cause I took part in the last inspirational challenge.

There was no boat.  

To me this looks like a scene,

so I made a scene out of the images I was given,

concentrating on the colors.

The images were all on one file,

so it was do them all the same size

but they were not proportioned right. 

So instead of using the fence with the images, 

I cut one out on my Cricut.  

I also cut the clouds on the Cricut, too.

And on every card there shall be a little sparkle.

The pink spots on the butterfly are Pink Glam

and the center of the flowers are Yellow.

I have also entered this card in...

All that Stickles...use the color Yellow

you can use any image you wish.

Easy as 1, 2, 3 is simple

Use 1 sentiment

2 designer papers

3 embellishments

Here is the card I put together for this challenge.  

I used the owl image that was given to me.

Added the sentiment "happy birthday"

This is the first time I used a banner for the sentiment.  

It didn't come out quiet as well as I hoped it would.

My 3 embellishments are 

the flower,

the do dad above the owl,

and the string of gold flatbacks on the bottom.

I also added Glossy Accents to the owls eyes, but since I do this to all eyes, 

I didn't count it as an embellishment.

And if you know me, you know...

Every card shall have a bit of sparkle.

So there is Pumpkin Stickles in the center of the flower.

Now you have till the end of June to get in on this challenge.
