Music for Me - Jen Leeflang

Welcome to the ADFD blog today.  My inspirational card for you today features the serenely beautiful image called, Music for Me from the store.  I love the quietness is portrays – a young girl swept away by the lovely melody.

I coloured the image using alcohol markers and paper pieced her dress.  The background of the card is vintage sheet music with a thought-provoking quote by Plato. The image was fussy cut and popped up on foam blocks.

Some pink roses and a pretty pink bow seemed a fitting embellishment.

Remember that we have a super friendly A Day for Daisies Community on Facebook, so come along and join us!

Keep Creating!

Flowers in Bottles - Tanja

Hi there,

it's Tanja here and I would like to show you this Clean and Simple Card. I colored the A Day for Daisies Flowers in Bottles with Inktense Pencils and a damp watercolor brush. In order to give it a tile finish, I covered the whole image with four coats of clear embossing powder. It's just perfect for this technique.

For more information on the creation of this card visit my Blog Little Art Cottage.

You'll find Flowers in Bottles and so many other wonderful images including Monthly Specials and Freebies in the A Day for Daisies Shop.

Make sure to join our Challenge "Use some kind of School Paper" right here on the ADFD Blog.

Have a day for daisies.

Yours,

Hello!  It's Cindy here with you on the blog today.  We were blessed to be able to take a beach vacation this summer.  And so, this image reminded me of my son playing in the sand.  Isn't he sweet?  If you'd like more details on my card, visit my blog In Love with Paper.


Enjoy your last days of summer...

Boy Horse Ride - Jen Leeflang

Welcome to the ADFD blog today where I (Jen) am here to share with you my birthday card with this darling and cute image, Boy Horse Ride from the store as it reminds me of our annual family visit to the funfair when I was a child. 

I merged the image with the red star striped background digital paper, and then matted it onto rope themed background paper.  The image was coloured using alcohol markers (a mixture of Copics, Spectrum Noir and Graph'It).  The edge of the blue rope paper is distressed, and I added twine and a metal cowboy gun charm.

Ladybug Hello - Cathy Preissing

Hi Everyone!   I thought this little cutie (which has been been sitting in a folder, printed and waiting to be colored for a couple of years) would be perfect for my first solo DT post. It's so perfect for the summer weather we are having where I live.

The digi is called Ladybug Hello.  You'll find details about the card, including products and Copics, on in my blog post.

Here's a close up of the window. . .                    

...and the whole image on the inside of the card.

A new challenge starts right here on the ADFD blog, Friday, August 5th!  Make sure you stop back!
