DS4J New Release Sunday-Sheltered

It's new release day at Digistamps4Joy again. These are now available in the DS4J Store.  Be sure to check out the blog to see the inspiration from the Design Team.  I chose "Sheltered" for my card.

"Sheltered" is the digi in the middle of this card.  It's the mouse hiding under the toadstool.  I chose a background image from Make It Crafty to compliment the little mouse.  I colored both of them with copics, then drew in the raindrops. I put CTMH Liquid Glass on the rain to make it look wet.

Thank you for your visit.  Hope to see you again soon.

God Bless You!!! Peggy

Conie Fong "Peony Delight"

Conie Fong Art and Designs had a new digi release this week and I couldn't resist getting these beauties. They were called "Peony Delight" and "Peonies in a Jar."  I especially liked Peony Delight and decided to see if I could apply some of my Kit and Clowder coloring lessons to it.  I colored the image with Copics, then tried to create a background for it.  I went a little overboard on my color dimension and the background became a distraction from the image.  I started digging through my paper for a pack of Gradient colors I had purchased a while back.  I cut what I thought was the perfect background and made a 5X6.5" card.  I added sequins and a bow.  I hope you like it.

Thank you for visiting with me today.  I love hearing from you.

God Bless You!!! Peggy

Digistamps4Joy Mid-month Challenge Post

Today is the 15th of April, time for Team B's posting some inspiration for the Digistamps4Joy Challenge.  Our theme this month is Anything Goes with a twist of "Inspired By A Song".  I tried to think of a popular song I could represent but then decided on a song that has meant so much to me all my Christian life.  It's an old hymn that tells of the "Amazing Grace" of God.  Where would we be without that Grace extended to us at Calvary.  Easter always re-emphasizes how much God loves us. Thank you, Father, for your wonderful grace and love toward us.  Thank you, Jesus, for dying on the cross that we might be saved.  Thank you, also, for rising from the dead that we can spend eternity with you.

Here is my card:

Card Supplies:

A2 card base

Background paper is gold foil and DCWV Violet Leaf

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you will join in our Inspired by a Song challenge.

God Bless You and I hope you have a wonderful Easter!!  Peggy

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge-Something With Wings

The Crafty Cardmakers Challenge that starts today is all about wings.  Please make a project and add something with wings.  My entry is from the Kit and Clowder March Pencil Class.  This months classes, both pencil and marker, have birds as the focal image.  I tried the marker class but did not like the way it was going so decided to try pencils.  I'm not completely happy with it but here it is.

 I colored him with Prismacolor pencils.  I hope you will join in our challenge.  Let's get those butterflies, bees, birds, beetles,etc. humming.  

Thank you for your visit today.  God Bless You!!! Peggy

DS4J New Release Sunday-04-01

Digistamps4Joy has a new release today.  They have new releases twice a month.  The design team has created some lovely cards.  Be sure to check them out.  I chose "Buster" for my card.  He's a sweet, happy little dog.

The background is a page from My Memories Suite software.  I have never tried to do a background with it but I like how it turned out. I colored Buster with Promarkers.  I hope you will visit Digistamps4Joy and see all the lovely inspiration from the design team. Be sure to visit the store to see all the new releases. 

God Bless You !!! Peggy
