Eureka Stamps Challenge #121 Something New, Something old

Eureka Stamps has a new challenge and this week it's "Something Old, Something New."  I have colored this great image  24404 Tall Love Bird with a Paint Shop Program. Now to explain my something old and something new; the old is the normal things I usually do, so; the image, the Stampin Up punch for the greeting, the Spellbinders oval die cut,and now the new.  I have chosen papers and floral stickers that I normally don't use and the coloring of the image is also new.  My grand kids thought it was fun to watch me color it on the computer and they each did a quick card using the  same image.  I'm not thrilled with the results, but it was fun to do some different things with this card.

Stop by Eureka Stamps and join in this challenge we would love to have you join us and if you use one of the great images from the store you could win more.  Thanks for looking and have a great day.  I will be entering this card in the following challenges...

Sassy Studio Designs Blog Hop & new Release

Welcome to the Sassy Studio Designs Blog Hop and New Release.  You should have arrived here from one of my new Sassy Sisters blog, Kerrie and seeing her beautiful project and if not, you really should go back and start at the beginning and see all of the beautiful creations.  I have used the Effie Butterfly Image and colored her in pink and gray for a monotone look. She is cut out using a Spellbinders die and an out of the box technique. My photo isn't great today but I am out of time and have to use the best one I got. I have several designer papers and punched out some butterflies from the same papers as the background using a Stampin Up punch.  I have had the greeting so long I can't remember where it's from and added a flower for the butterflies to land on.

Before you hop on along to see what my Sassy Sister Kim has created, I'm sure it will be wonderful, be sure to leave me a comment because one person who leaves a comment on each stop along the way will win the new collection. There will be a chat on the party blog from 6 to 8PST
