Creative Die Cut Challenge

Let's get creative with our die cuts on the Bitten by the Bug2 challenge! Choose any image and use color, glue, glitter, anything that makes the die cut a little different. Hope that you will participate -- can't wait to see what you come up with!

For this card, I used Tinkerbell from the Disney® Classics cartridge. I matted her onto glitter cardstock - to show that fairy dust sparkle that she has in the movies. This is a very difficult image to cut - so when I cut the hair ribbon and lips, you could hardly see the cuts as they were so tiny! So I stickled on the items -- a much easier solution. I also added glossy accents on her wings and shoes to make it seem a bit translucent.

The stamp is from Stampin' Up!'s retired set: Endless Birthday Wishes. It's a keeper!

Marilyn Monroe ATC

I made another ATC for yet another swap. I forgot how much fun it is to swap paper crafts. The theme was movies, and I picked a classic: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. I found this Andy Warhol-type SVG image of Marylin online and created the movie title text in Cricut Design Space. I think it came out pretty good -- here's to hoping my swap partner thinks the same!

Umbrella Challenge

This week's challenge is to use an umbrella - easy right? Hope that you can join in! The irony is that here it is April 2, and we received four inches of snow overnight! 

Here is my card with an adorable little girl in the rain. She is from the Create a Friend cartridge.  I also used an SVG - "Smile when it's raining" - from LoveSVG.com's Bundle Freebie - 2018-03-05. There are a bunch of sweet images there.
