WWC 268 - DAWN'S CHALLENGE: ALL ABOUT OCCASIONS

Hello Everyone!

I know this is a tough time for everyone.    On my walks I am enjoying the beautiful Spring colors.    There are beautiful flowering shrubs, flowers and trees for us to enjoy!    Take a moment and Breathe and say "Thanks" for nature.    

This is my brother, Charlie's Magnolia Tree.   It is gorgeous!   He has a large garden and yard and when the moment is right he sits under this tree and relaxes.  

My card for this Challenge is all about Believing and staying strong.   Let's all stay positive!  And Believe!

I used the Shimmer paint on the dandelion head and the wings for the fairy.   Hard to see in the picture, but they do shimmer on the card itself.

Remember to check out WWC 268 and the cards from the Design Team.   They have created beautiful cards for us with lots of ideas and techniques.    

So"Believe" and this will come to pass. We will come out ahead and be better people.
Until next time....have a great week.    Heather and Pearl 😍😻

WWC267: KAREN'S CHALLENGE - ANYTHING GOES WITH A MASCULINE TWIST ------- "I ROCKED THE WATERCOOLER"

I am doing the Happy Dance today! .... My card was picked for this Challenge, and I am so Happy!    Thank you Karen for selecting my card and the wonderful comments.   I really appreciate the feedback.
    
Hello Again,
I am still in a "Tropical mood", hence the Tropical shirts for the Men in our lives.   I came up with three different shirts with different elements to close them.

Supplies Used:
Stamp Set:  On to Adventure (Sentiment Only)
Cardstock:  Blushing Bride, Bermuda Bay, Very Vanilla, Paradise (Misty Paper Pack), Tropical dsp
Ink:   Tuxedo Black
Misc.:  Stone 3D Embossing Folder, Dimensionals, All Dressed Up Dies (Buttons), Brads, Wooden embellishments

To make the shirt, I started with a 4x4 piece of cardstock.  This was my Template.   I did not like the original dimensions that I saw on Pinterest, so had to cut and fold until I came up with the right size.  I then put my template on the tropical dsp and cut out the image.  
The cuffs on the sleeves and the trim under the buttons were left over cardstock, cut to fit on the shirt.    Then I added the buttons.
Hope you like it ----  great card for Father's Day!
