The Flower Challenge #40 'Shaped Cards'

Hi there friends, my first cards of the new year! May I wish you all a very Healthy and Happy New Year too! 

I am back with more DT cards for 'The Flower Challenge' again. This month our theme is one we have had before and 'Shaped cards'.

I went with a tag shape for my first card, I saw this lovely die set and loved the large tag die. For my second card I used an old Spellbinders die I have had for a while. I used it to cut a shape at the bottom of my card and also used it to add another shape to the top of my card also.

The gorgeous flower here is a digital one by Alex Syberia, isn't it just divine! Alex is sponsoring us this month and gave all of our DT one of her amazing digital images, (see them all HERE) to use on our cards this month.  She is giving our winner two of her digital images. Alex is also our Guest Designer this month too.

She is not only a great designer but a great card maker too, check out her beautiful card on our blog and all her others on Instagram. Ok here are my cards below, come and have a peek and do try and join in our challenge this month, you may win a prize again too ;)

Looking back at all my Flower Challenge DT cards from last year I have made a compilation of my favourite four. See them all below my two FC cards here. Some of our design team have also chosen their favourite four too, see them on their own blogs.

Alex Syberia digital flower Large Peony

Altenew sentiment

Altenew Deco Wonder stencil

Heartfelt Creations Album Tags & Accents

TH Distress inks

MFT Stitched rectangle die

Versafine Onyx Black ink

N&T sequins

First I made my card base using my tag die, then I used my stencil and watercolours over a separate piece of card. I printed my flower after resizing it then coloured it using various shades of watercolour.

I stamped my sentiment and used my stitched die to cut it out, I edged it using a  matching colour. Then I mounted it on some silver card. I attached everything to my card base, added a bit of sparkle and after attaching a few sequins my card was complete.

I made my card base then cut a piece out of the bottom using my die. I cut three more pieces of card using my dies. I used a stencil on one and coloured it to match my flower. Then I coloured my other die cut one using matching colours.

 I resized and then stamped my flower and coloured it all. Next I stamped my sentiment, colouring the edge and attached it all to my card base, added a few sequins and my card was finished.

Computerized sentiment 'Gabrielle'

I printed my digital images straight to my card , leaving some parts

 'over the edge'.

I also printed my sentiment in a nice scripty font (I am obsessed with
 fonts btw....you probably know that already though!) 

I then coloured my images in a loose watercolour style and my card
 was complete.

Floral digital stamp by DotBStamp 'Anenome Bouquet'

Twinklets Diamond dust

I printed my image straight to my card, then I printed another image
on a spare piece of card.
I then coloured all my flowers and leaves and fussy cut one of my flowers
 and added it to my first image.
A touch of diamond dust for sparkle and my card was complete.
