Send a Smile 4 Kids – Challenge #127 – “Punch and Die Cuts”

It’s time for another Send a Smile 4 Kids challenge!  This challenge we are playing with “Punches and Die Cuts” on your cards this week.

Our wonderful sponsors are:

1) Dollar Graphics Depot – offering $15.00 gift certificate

2) Bugaboo – offering seven (7) digi’s to our winner

Thank you so much to our sponsors for supporting SAS4Kids!

Now, on to the inspiration.  For my card I used the Dollar Graphics Depot image called “Natures Colors”. This is an entire sheet of digital images for $1.00!  What a bargain for images that can be used over and over again.

I created the background using the technique I found on Pinterest using glue, distress inks, and a score-pal.  If you want the details, here’s the link.   I used a few dies this week including stitched ovals from My Favorite Things and a bow die by Paper Smooches.  My Tim Holtz sentiment is colored with Copic markers as is the focal image.

You have until Friday, July 1st to enter your “Punches & Die Cuts” entry for Send a Smile 4 Kids. We’d also love it if you considered donating your cards for hospitalized children across nation. Check out how to donate here. 

Sketch Saturday Challenge #417

Today’s new Sketch Saturday challenge is sponsored by Robyn’s Fetish who is offering three (3) free digital images for our random winner. You have until Friday, June 24th for a chance to win.

Here’s the sketch:

For my card I chose a great image from Robyn’s Fetish called “Sunflower 2” which I colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut.  I used an older spellbinders rectangle die as a frame and some of my favorite fall themed paper paper by Carte Bella. My sentiment is Hero Arts.

I can’t wait to see what you come up with using the new Sketch Saturday Sketch!
