613 Avenue Create - July Challenge - Anything Goes with Optional Twist/Floral Delight/Just Add a Flower

Time for another challenge over at 613 Avenue Create this month. The theme of the challenge is Anything Goes with an optional twist of / Floral Delight/Just add a Flower. 

I chose this digital image from my stash for this card.

The image is from a digi company called Arty Pants. I have had the image in my collection since 2013 along with many others of their digi stamps. I do not think the company is still around. I have not been able to find any current information about them.

To colour my image I used my copic markers, pencil crayons, nuvo,  and gel pens. I added a sentiment and some gems to give the antique flower scene some sparkle.

This is my project for July, a summer fun garden theme. 

This is the metal fence I found at the thrift store that became my canvas for my project. 

 I used an assortment of products from my stash to give my fence an antique look. The flowers were from a collection that I have had in my stash for many years.  I have been trying to use up my products in the last little while be for the dried up or were not in a condition to be used. 

The leaves were die cut out on a piece of a gelli plate background that I had previously made. The bird was a digital image that I coloured with my panpastels. I also added a round paper clip, a pearl and a sentiment.

A Place to Start Challenge July - Anything Goes

 Time for another new challenge at A Place to Start. The theme this month is anything goes. I would like to see what you are working on this month.

This month I decided to make a simple card using some of my gelli plate papers and adding a a stamped octopus. Unfortunately I do not remember the name of the company creating the stamp. That is the unfortunate part of   stamps no longer on blocks. The good thing is the we have more room in our craft room for more product.

I added some clear Nuvo to parts of the octopus to give texture and dimension.  I also added a sentiment that consisted parts of different sentiment from my stash. 

Hope you will join us this month. Remember to stop by our challenge blog to be inspired by our talented design team. Have fun creating this month.
