My blog is called "Creative Smiles" because my designs are the result of incorporating mistakes. With fumble fingers that drop whatever they are holding - repeatedly, it takes a lot of giggles, smiles and creative patience during my crafting process. xx

Anything Goes at Jan's Digi Stamps #5

Greetings, Sweet Blogging Friends!
So glad you are here. There is a little freebie gift for you at the end of my post.
It's time for our ANYTHING GOES Challenge at Jan's Digi Stamps where a $10 store credit is given to a winner every challenge!

and

JDS is having a Design Team Call.

Details HERE.



Facebook - Shopping - Pinterest - Challenges
Jan's TEA TIME set is brand new, and has so many possibilities. I have used the Birthday Cup and the Single Sweet Pea flower to make my card:



The tea time set comes with colored options as well as Black and White. My images have been colored with Copic Markers.

After die cutting, the interior portion was inked while the die remained in place:

A slit was cut along the rim of the tea cup, so the fussy cut flowers could be placed inside the slit:


A "table" was inked in place, and the flowers placed in the slit, with dimensional adhesive popping the flowers up:



The table top and green panel were distressed with the same ink:


Close Up of dimension:


The entire white panel is popped up on this very simple, yet pretty card:


Interior:

Beautiful Sweet Peas Donna, always take me back to childhood as my Dad grew them along the garden path leading across the the farmyard and in the evening the aroma from them was beautiful.

What a very beautiful card Donna! Love the soft colors and the elegant die cute layer! Adding the slit to place the flowers inside was a brilliant idea too! What a lovely sentiment you've added to the inside and I thank you so much for your lovely freebie! You're the best! HUGS

I love this card, Donna, and your coloring and the color combo are both fantastic! Beautiful design and your combination of images is so beautiful. Wonderful idea to decorate the interior of the card as well. I'm in love with that frame die from Spellbinders. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to damage my January budget by finding it and adding it to my collection. :-D

Sheryl said...

Donna this is so beautiful. This image and the colours you have chosen brought back very fond memories of my grandma who always drank her tea from a bone china cup that was so fine it was almost translucent. Happy days!
I love the die cut border which adds a touch of feminine elegance
Hugs Sheryl xx

Donna Dear, your coloring of those blossoms and the cup are suburb. Creating the slit - genius! And the blended ink around the focal point makes it all pop. And that die cut border is the perfect touch. xoxo

I love how you filled the cup with the pretty flowers. Girl, that's a lot of fussy cutting!!!!!! Result is such a lovely card. Thank you for the beautiful sentiment, have saved it and see myself using it often.
