{Digi Stamps 4 Joy DS4J: DT Project Challenge #67}

This is another DT Project for a challenge over at DS4J's blog.  The theme for Challenge No.67 is SPRING HAS SPRUNG.  

Another Centre Stepper design  I have used two different DigiStamps4Joy Images, namely:
  1. Juvenile Trio and you can purchase it here
  2. Lillies for You and you can purchase her here
All the images were coloured with Copics and the sentiment with dry chalks.  The flourishes were stamped with Chiswick Acrylic Stamps. The sentiment is a freebie Hannelie (Desert Diva).

So hop on over to DS4J's blog and link your SPRING HAS SPRUNG creation to Challenge #67.







Once again I am off to link this project up to the following challenges:

LIFE IS A JOURNEY ...
{DT Project Tammy's Scrapin Corner: Challenge #62}

This week our theme for Challenge #62 at Tammy's Scrapin Corner  is ANYTHING GOES WITH RIBBON & LACE I used Misteria and Colosseum  images from DigiStamps4Joy.  You can purchase the images here and here. The sentiment is a freebie from the amazing generous and inspirational Lisa {Decosse's Dynamite Doodles}.  


Another centre stepper. The design papers are from Little Yellow Bicycle.  I have threaded ribbon through the buttons at the bottom and my lace is actually part of the design papers.   I have  coloured the images with Copics and used dry chalks on the sentiment. The flourishes were stamped with Chiswick Acrylic Stamps. I have used the {Doing Life} Wavy Lines template which you can find here, for the kraft coloured frame.

Hope you will play along this week - so come on link your Anything Goes with Ribbon & Lace creations to Tammy's Scrapin Corner's Challenge No.62. Can't wait to see what you create.

Its a public holiday here in South Africa, being Workers' Day.  So a nice opportunity just to be lazy.

This is another DT Project for a challenge over at DS4J's blog.  The theme for Challenge No.66 is WOMEN ARE SPECIAL.  

Another Centre Stepper design  I have used two different DigiStamps4Joy Images, namely:
  1. Through the Farmhouse Window and you can purchase it here
  2. Misteri with Apple Basket and you can purchase her here
All the images were coloured with Copics and dry chalks.  The flourishes were stamped with Chiswick Acrylic Stamps. The sentiment I have downloaded from my Facebook wall quite some time ago and unfortunately don't know the source.  But it was a freebie and I have posted it below for you to snag.

So hop on over to DS4J's blog and link your BLING ON A SHAPE creation to Challenge #65.
