Marvelous Monday with Digi Darla

Good Morning.  Today is the start of a new week and that means a new challenge at Digi Darla.  Thank you to all of you who joined in last week's Inspirational Photo and Quote Challenge.  Our winner, Susan Kennedy, made this beautiful card:

Congrats, Susan.

This week, our theme is a Copy Cat Challenge. Everyone gets the same image and makes a creation using that image.  To get the image, go to the Digi Darla blog and save it to your computer.  Here's my card using the image:

..

I printed off the image on Neenah Solar White card stock and die cut it with Classic Circles Spellbinders. I then used Crayola Colored Pencils to color it in.  I then outlined it with Spectrum Noir  BGR1.  I layered the image onto a Lacy Circe die cut in Green.  The DPs are DCWV's  The Christmas Combo from last year.  I used my Fiskars Scalloped Circle Border Punch on the middle layer of Light Green paper.  I found two raffia ribbons in my stash and tied them around the middle.  The sentiment is mine from the computer and colored in with Sakura Glitter Gel pen in Green.

I hope y'all enjoyed your visit today.  Maybe we will see ya over at Digi Darla this week.

Make sure to come back tomorrow for Day 2 of the 12 Days of Creepmas.  Have a wonderful Monday and God bless y'all.

I am going to enter this card into Scrapbook Stamp Society's #30 challenge.

Digi Darla's Monday Copy Cat Challenge

Happy Monday friends.  Today begins a new challenge over at Digi Darla's.  Our challenge this week is going to be a monthly occurrence.  It's our "Copy Cat" Challenge.  Everyone who enters will receive the same image to work with.  This week it is "Ye Olde Sailing Ship"

All you have to do to enter this week is make a project using this image.  Here's what I designed:

I colored the image with colored pencils and OMS.  I then added some white paint, which I dry brushed onto the waves.  I chalked the sky and added a bit of dark blue ink to make the horizon line.  I used Labels 10 Nestabilities to die cut the image and mat.  I also used the same set to die cut the sentiment and mat.  I offset the mats from the images for interest.  The stamped map uses a Stamp Man Nautical image and is stamped with Memento Espresso Ink.  I then crinkled and wrinkled and wadded up the image, inked it heavily with Memento Vintage Photo and took a lighter to some of the edges.   The patterned papers are all from DCWV and I found these three antique buttons in my stash.  I love the way this card turned out.  I think out of all the cards I have made since 2010, this has to be my favorite. 

I hope to see your copy cat project at Digi Darla this week. Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I truly appreciate it.  God bless y'all.
