Diane's Daydream Designs - Sunshine and Rain

I LOVE being a member of the Dream Team at Diane's Daydream Designs!  I enjoy creating with the digi images found in the Daydream Designs online store.

For my card I used images from the Sunshine and Rain stamp set and sentiments.  I colored the images using Promarkers and Copic markers.  The background papers are from Stampin up and Jillibean Soup; cardstock is Stampin Up.  the sentiment is punched using a circle punch and then layered onto a Martha Stewart doily.  raindrops are gems falling from the clouds!  I enjoy resizing, layering, and grouping the images such as I did with the clouds and sun before inserting over the girl image.

Simple Salutations Challenge - Theme - Time!

It's Wednesday and TIME for this week's Simple Salutations Challenge at Mark's Finest Papers and Stamps!  The theme is TIME! 

For my card I chose an image and sentiment from the Timeless Friendship stamp set.  I love the look of black and white together!  I used some black polka dot paper tape from Creative Memories to add some texture to my CAS card.  I fussy cut the watch and layered it onto the card base using dimensionals.  A Martha Stewart punch was used to create a border.

We hope you'll play along with the TIME challenge for a chance to win a stamp from Mark's Finest Papers!  You can find the challenge HERE.
