WATCH FOR IT!!!! FUN, FUN, FUN

Stay tuned for something awesome happening at The Outlawz in a few day. Here is a hint:

Another Lily Card

I just got back from an evening out with Donna & two of her friends.  I guess I can call them my friends too.  We always have such a good time.  Although I don't know why they invite an older woman along.  I'm glad they do.

I have another Lily card for you today.  It was drawn by Anne Fenton.  She sent it to all the participants in the last Outlaws Creative Freebie Challenges.  It's a very simple digi but so expressive.  

Card Recipe:
5"X6.5" card base.
Background Papers - DCWV Lemon Pepper
Digital Image - Lily by Anne Fenton
Frame - Cut From the Stamping Cricut Cartridge
Border & Butterfly punched with MS punches
Promarkers used to color digi:
Lily - Tulip Yellow, Primrose
Stamen - Gold
Stickles added for glitter effect.

Again thank you for stopping by our blog.  Donna & I are struggling with the decision to continue our blog.  As long as we felt like we were being an inspiration, it was easy to continue posting our creations.  However, in the past year, the evidence we are reaching others has declined.  Most posts only warrant one comment, if that.  Please pray with us about this decision.  It takes a lot of time to get projects ready to post and then to write them up.  If we're not reaching or touching others, there's no point in going to all that trouble.  So thank you for your prayers and input.  God Bless You!!!  Peggy

For today's card I used Sandi Huggett's Lily Swag.  She is also one of the Design Team on the Outlaw's Creative Freebie Challenge.

Background Paper - Anna Griffin's Carolina Collection

Promarkers used to color digi:
Lilies - Cool Gray1 for shading

Outlaws Freebie Challenge

The card I want to share with you today is one I made using one of the free digistamps provided to us by the talented artist Anne Fenton at the Outlaws Challenges.   Her name is Rapunzel.  Remember that fairy tale?  The freebie challenge lasts for two weeks.  If you participate in this one, you will be sent new digis for the next one.  Here is my version of Rapunzel. 

This card is very simple & easy to make.  The background paper is from a Recollections paper stack from Michael's.  I just cut a 4.25X5.5" piece, tied a ribbon around the top and popped Rapunzel on top.  The paper is so festive, it doesn't need a lot of embellishment.  I will wait until I get ready to send it out before stamping a greeting.  Promarkers used to color digi:

Face/Skin - Coral, Sun-kissed Pink, Blush, & Baby Pink
Hair - Burnt, Sienna, Walnut, Cinnamon, Satin
Dress - Lime Green, Lime Zest
Bow - Pear Green, Lime Green


Thank you for stopping by today.  Be sure to follow and leave a comment to be eligible for our prize.  God Bless You!!!!  Peggy

Background Paper - from my stash.  Just some I picked up here and there.  I tried tearing the edges of the papers to give a different look.  I'm not sure how I feel about the way it looks but at least it's different.
