Sparkle N Sprinkle Creative Challenges Blog April Challenge

Wow! It is April 1^st already (and today finally really feels like Spring).  This means it is time for a new challenge at the Sparkle N Sprinkle Creative Challenges Blog.  The challenge for April is to use a digital image.  Sparkle N Sprinkle carries some lovely digital images designed by Michelle Perkett that can see seen here.  You have until April 30 at 8:00 p.m. EST to add your creation to the linky on the Challenge Blog for a chance to win the grand prize – a stamp set of your choice. 

I decided to create a center step card using the Bloom, Grow, Live digital stamp.  Since you can print your digital image in any size, I was able to size mine perfectly for the center section of this card.  I colored this sweet image with alcohol markers and printed an extra butterfly to pop it up.

I ran some green cording on dry embossed panels for the two sides and added some little handmade flowers.  Along the bottom I added grass, using a border punch, and a die cut white picket fence popped up on top of it.  I added some Sunny Daze and Blue Jewel glitter to add some sparkle to the flowers and butterfly.  You can find the full instructions for this card in the SNS gallery here.

We had a great response to last month’s glitter challenge.  I can’t wait to see this month’s entries.  Head on over to the Challenge Blog to see the details and for more inspiration from my fellow designers.
