A Helping Hand by Phindy's Place
Sunflowers and Dragonflies Challenge 27- ATCs
Today I want to share some ATCs that I created for Sunflowers and Dragonflies using the "Beautiful Life Series." These are some beautiful stamps and so worth creating with. This week we challenge you to create ATCs. This challenge will be so much fun. ATCs are beautiful pieces of art measured at 3 1/2 X 2 1/2. They lend themselves to all sorts of possibilities and provide so many options to show off your little beauties.
My ATCs are below:

I used Lottie & her coordinating flourish. I chose to color, shade, and airbrush with copics: E29, E13, E12.

You have an opportunity to win any two of the the beautiful ladies in the Beautiful Life Series by participating in our challenge and following the challenge requirements. The challenge ends this Friday. Show us what you can do with your own ATCs!!! Good Luck!!!

Sunflowers & Dragonfllies Twinchie
Love this cupcake!! It is by Sunflowers and Dragonflies and so perfect for Birthdays, Thinking of you, as well as Celebrations. My cupcake layer is a 2 X 2 (Twinchie) with additional coordinating layers. I colored my cupcake with copics and added stickles to dazzle you a little..:) I also added some Basic Grey paper along with some Creme Brulee CTMH embossed cardstock. To make this card pop just a tad, I added some scalloped borders in chocolate. All papers and cardstock were aged with vintage photo distress ink.
Thanks for stopping by today!!! Hugs, Karen

Sunflowers & Dragonflies Challenge 23 (Faux Stitching)
One of the most awesome things about our craft is that we get an opportunity to challenge each other daily, weekly, and monthly. Sunflowers and Dragonflies challenges you this week in creating a card using the Faux Stitch technique. The deadline for the challenge is Friday, January 15th. You have an opportunity to win 2 beautiful stamps from the Beautiful Life series.
Faux Stitching adds so much character to cards and lends itself to so many opportunities. I absolutely loved working with this technique this week. My card is shown below.

I chose to use Amber for this technique. The card is an A2 size with layers of Basic Grey papers. I faux stitched around Amber and the layer underneath her. Amber was airbrushed with copic markers for a soft look. I added ribbon and metals to complete the card. Please visit our blog to join in the challenge and to see all of the beautiful work of the design team using the faux stitch technique. Enjoy, Karen

Happy New Year!!!! Great News....
Today, I am sharing a card that I created using the Mahone Bay stamp by Sunflowers and Dragonflies. I coupled the stamp with some La Creme paper by DCWV and some coordinating ribbon. My flower was airbrushed with copic markers YR31, E33, and 100 (Black). I also added some gems and an acrylic tag that was backed with La Creme paper. Enjoy!
