Daisy Doodles Challenge #22

It's time for a new Daisy Doodles Challenge!!  This  challenge is "Anything Goes".   For this challenge you can do whatever your heart desires as long as you use a Daisy Doodles or a Pixie Cottage image.  The Pixie Cottage  is sponsoring us this time and Michelle has very kindly offered up a $10 gift certificate to  the winner.  You must go see all the goodies she has to offer HERE

My card uses the Tropicana image which you can purchased  HERE


I have coloured the image with Promarkers and then used a Sakura clear glaze pen over the glass. The sentiment is also from Daisy Doodles. Papers are Memory Box and they have all been inked around the edges. I have followed the Friday Sketchers layout but had to substitute the circle for a rectangle to fit in the image.

LOTV challenge

THIS IS MY SECOND POST TODAY, SCROLL DOWN FOR FRESH BREWED CHALLENGE

I was lucky enough to win this cute image as part of a blog candy so decided to ink it up and take part in this week's challenge over at LOTV. I have coloured the image with Promarkers and the papers are Papermania Honey & Hugs. I have blended Spun Sugar Distress Ink around all the edges.  I have stitched round all the panels, don't look too close as the stitching is a little wonky lol!
The image was then cut out using Nesties and matted onto some silver mirri card.
The sketch was from a Stampin 4 the weekend but their challenge wanted you to use the sketch and have a butterfly on your creation. I can't see a butterfly fitting this card somehow so can't enter their challenge :0(
