Sew Many Challenges #11- DT Card

This week at Sew Many Challenges the challenge is ' A sketch with a theme, " Mother's Day". I had a lot of fun coloring a cute image ,called 'Grace feeding Jaden', and you can get it here. The sponsor this week is Sunshine Stamps and the winner will receive their choice of three digital stamps from the Sunshine Stamps Store. Here is the sketch:

This is my interpretation of the sketch. Because of the image I chose I had to turn the sketch. I've also posted a close-up of the cute little image, and the inside that I just made short and sweet.

The Front: The designer papers I used were from the Basic Gray "Sugared" collection. The buttons are BoBunny and I cut the letters on my cricut with the "Mother's Day" cartridge.

Close-Up, Don't you just love this image!

The inside of the card is pretty simple. The sentiment is from the cricut "Mother's Day" cartridge.

Here are the copics I've used. I tried to put them in color groups to make it a little easier. There's actually one more, the darkest green, but I seem to have misplaced it... Guess I know what I'll be doing tomorrow, anyway, I don't remember the number but it is called Moss Green.

Well, I hope you have enjoyed my card. Now make sure to check out what the rest of the DT has to offer, you can find them by clicking the badges on the right. Then, you have until next Thursday the 22nd to enter the challenge. Don't forget, today is also freebie friday so make sure you stop by Sew Many Challenges and pick it up.

Good Luck!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by,

Life Continued...

Man, I feel like such a let down lately. My poor daughter though, lately, it seems to be one thing after another with her. My little girl had to be rushed to the hospital this morning cause she could hardly breathe. Turns out she has croup and will have to sit by the vaporizer and be watched like a hawk(as if she'd let go of me) until it's gone. I have been working behind the scenes this week, but it's DT stuff and cannot be posted yet. I was hoping to get that out of the way and move on to something else for you all today, but right now I am doubtful that will happen. Maybe she'll be so exhausted she'll sleep well this afternoon and I will get to everything. Didn't want you all to think I was getting lazy, just gotta deal with the kiddos sometimes. Hope you all have a great day!

Flutterby Anya Project

I finally got my project done! It's taken me lot longer than I thought it would, but my daughter has been extremely needy the last couple of days and that has left me with little time to work on this. I attached a lot of pictures so you will hopefully get the whole view.

The container I used is an old formula container. It's amazing what you can do with things like this!

These first pics are a top and side view.

The reddish color on the butterflies does match a lot better than it shows, but there is only so much you can do when taking a picture. I tried to get the photos as close to reality as I could.

Next, I have pictures of the lacing I did and the flower with the butterfly that are on top. All the butterfly shapes were cut with my cricut Home Accents cartridge and then hand colored with copics. The large butterfly on top also has legs that I shaped with jewelery wire and then glued inbetween two butterfly cut-outs. After coloring the butterflies I embossed them with a mixture of embossing powders. The flower is made by some flowers I bought at Hobby Lobby and then took apart to make my own flower. The whole grouping of flowers actually is held to the lid by the brad in the middle.

The next two pics are just close-ups of Flutterby Anya(copyright TGF) and the decorations around her. I was trying to show the glimmer on her and the butterflies and the rhinestones. The rhinestone pattern was done by me and then I glued around them to hold them into place better

This last photo is just for your enjoyment. I didn't think it turned out very well for the project, but I love it as a photo on the wall!

Well, this has been a long post, but I hope you have enjoyed my project! I hope I can get all these pictures in the order that I have explained them as I've updated my blogger and I'm having a little trouble moving the pics around. Please feel free to leave me any questions or comments.

Thanks for looking,

Autumn

Updates!

Well, I had a great weekend, how about you ?  Turns out there was actually a lot going on in blog land for me too.  I decided to try to take a little break from blogging this weekend as it was Easter and my husband has been feeling a little neglected lately.  Anyway, first, I'd like to say Thank You to Lexi of Lexi's Creations and Lexi's Doodles as she has chosen me to be a part of her design team...can't wait to get started!  Secondly, I actually won the TGF Buddies new release set from Club Anya and Friends, Thank You, CA&F!...Can't wait to get those, they are too cute!  If you want to see the buddies click here to check them out and purchase if you'd like.  Thirdly, Thank You to Sandy Hulsart, for choosing me to win her image in the Karen's Doodles blog hop this past weekend.  Wow, stuff starts to happen when you take a break!  Well, now I have to get to crafting, my little break is over and I've had an idea in my head that I've wanted to work on since Saturday night.  With any luck my project will turn out and you'll see that on here later today.  Hope you've all had a great Easter!
 ... Sorry about the highlighted  white it was an accident and now I can't seem to get rid of it
