CottageCutz Challenge #2 - HELLO SPRING

Hi, Vladka is here!

Thank you very much for all your great cards and projects you've made for Challenge #1. Two lucky winners will be announced at the end of this post. So, stay tuned.

And here is time to start new challenge. 

This time theme is HELLO SPRING. 

So, get out your CottageCutz dies and create the project which will be associated to the spring. For example, flowers, greenery, green color are some ideas which are perfect for the spring. And please, use ONLY CottageCutz dies and not any other dies. "Add your link" button is available under the list of used dies. If you are not familiar with this button, please check this post for more explanation. Challenge will be closed on 31th of May!

Ok, let's go to my project. I hope this will inspire you a little bit. If flowers on sticks are familiar to you, this is because Yuliya showed you already how to do it and she made Easter decoration. You need to check it, it is beautiful. I shoot my video some time ago, so I thought there will be no harm if I show you my way too :) And I used the same flowers to decorate also the frame.

So, here is my video, where you will see how to color the wooden photo frame and decorate it with paper daisies and some greenery and also how to put together these daisies and create a bouquet out of them.

Suplies which I used for this project:
CottageCutz dies: listed below
Cardstock: white cardstock for die cuts
Distress Inks: Peeled Paint, Forest Moss, Brushed Corduroy, Gathered Twigs
Others: white acrylic paint, paint brush, water, wooden sticks, glue, Sizzix machine, yellow marker

And now go back to our challenge a little bit more. As I told you before, two lucky winners will be randomly chosen and will get gift certificate for Scrapping Cottage store.

First one will get gift certificate value of 50$...

... and second one in the value of 25$.

You have time till 31th of May to participate. 

Both winners will be announced in the same post as new challenge (for June) will begin.

DAINTY DAISIES WITH ANITA KEJRIWAL

Hello friends,

Its Saturday time and I am here with another bouquet of flowers for you using CottageCutz dies. CottageCutz has some most amazing flower dies and I simply love their 3D flower dies. In my previous posts , I have shown many ways as to how to use these dies beautiful. Today, I am here with one of my most favourite flowers--DAISY.
The CottageCutz 3D flower #3 die can give you most beautiful daisy flowers and they are so simple to make.
Here I have a very simple card that highlights the beauty of these flowers. Please follow the step by step pictures on making of the flowers.

   

Here is the step by step instruction for creating the flower

 Cut out die cuts from white card stock with the CottageCutz 3D flower #3 

       Colour the centre of each flower using the Archival Pink Peony ink

        Shape the flower by placing a stylus in the centre of each petal and by  pinching.

        Layer the flowers together-four layers in one flowers and cup deeply in the middle to make the  flowers stand upright. Add pollens in the centre.

 
            Cut out leaves from CottageCutz Leafy Foliage die and colour Archival leaf green ink

Cut a card base measuring 8.25 inches by 4 inches. Cut a mat layer 8 inches by 3.75 inches and adhere to the card front. Cut a pattern paper 7.75 inches by 3.5 inches and distress the edges. Add texture using modelling paste and stencil.

Arrange the flowers, leaves and CottageCutz tea time doily as shown. Add sequins to the card.

The Anything Goes Challenge is still going on and you just have few hours to join in. Do send in your entries for amazing prizes.

See you next week. Please do leave a few words and thanks for your time.
