My Samples for Today:  (See yesterday's projects HERE if you missed it.)

Card #1--


Spring has definitely sprung at Daydream Designs, and if you've joined us each day of our hop you've walked through a huge garden of inspiration.  We are so glad you've spent time with us.  For this project I just couldn't resist using one of our own Katlyn Traxler designs. I absolutely love her style of art, and her images just make the cutest cards.  The image and sentiment used here is from her Critter Garden Outline set.  I used Copic Markers to color in the images.  


The digi paper used for the background layer is from Sassy Frassy, and I just matched the colors of my Copics to the paper.  I love Katlyn's sweet little images.  The simple lines are perfect for using a wide variety of mediums for coloring or paper-piecing.  I will have to say I debated about the center of these flowers for awhile.  I thought about black or about adding a pearl.  I opted for extra simple...nothing at all, because that echos the open flower centers in the paper. 

Card #2--


It's easy to create a collage or mixed media look with digi stamps.  Here I used the outline version of Poppies for You, because I just felt like coloring (Copics).  I printed out just the sizes I wanted for my little digi paper mats (from the same set) to use behind the image.  Another advantage of digis--no waste.  You can resize our digi papers for just the dimensions you need by either cropping or pushing/pulling the image "handles."  I opted for cropping to maintain the scale of the designs.  I have an old hymnal that comes in handy for music ephemera.  I love using these pages because it general makes me sing the hymns while I work.  


I used the sentiment from the Poppies for You set too, cutting the words apart to echo the patchwork look of the card.  Fast, simple, colorful.  I hope it brings a smile to the recipient.

Card #3:

 My last card demonstrates that I really did get my "sparkle on!"  The image is literally covered in Dazzling Diamonds.  Again, I took all the pieces of this card--background digi paper, polka dot digi paper, image and sentiment from the same set, Bouquet of Daisies.  I'm just loving these new sets that contain all three components.  


By adding colored cardstock and a few embellies, you can complete the finished card in minutes.  

Can you see the sparkle now?  I know there is more sparkle yet to see as you travel through the blog hop again as most of our design team has multiple posts for the blog hop.  Once we got creating with these springy sets, we just couldn't quit!
