Digital Two for Tuesday 35


The two images this week represent winter and summer. They both come from a children's book from the 1900's. With all the snow they have been getting in the mid- atlantic USA I thought some may be thinking of winter snowball fights while others are dreaming of summer fun with friends.
Our guest hostess this week is Esther. This is her second time hosting on Digital Two for Tuesday. Again she has created for us some inspiring cards. I just love her use of texture and embellishments. I can't wait to try her idea of using an edge punch to create a lace ruffled frame in the last card. You can see more of Esther's work on her blog Shore Girl Creations. Without further ado here are Esther's beautiful cards.

I used Crayola markers on it
Cut it out with Circle Nestabilities
Matted it with Petite Scallop Nestabilities
Embossed the pink cardstock with Swiss Dots Embossing Folder
Inked over the dots with navy ink
Punched/Attached small snowflakes
Tied Gauzy ribbon on top and attached a hat pin done up with misc. beads

The Sea
On white cardstock I stamped and embossed (with black embossing powder) the
ship/sea gulls (Coastal Set - Inkadinkadoo)

Using chalks I chalked brown on the bottom/med. blue for water/light blue for sky
