OSAAT collab 4th July / Picnics

At One Stitch At A Time this week we are sharing with you our new June collab. The theme for the new collab is 4th July and picnics.

So thats our theme :  4th July or picnics

We are sponsored by the fantastic

My DT cards

This week i was given a fantastic image by June from Dezinaworld. Its available when you spend $10 instore to get the FREE collab set.

What a fun image and sentiment. 

The card was made using a scalloped 6x6 card. The DP was a sheet of bright yellow that i had i embossed it and then paper pieced some of it for the actual lemon. I used a foam tape to raise the 'skin' of the lemon slightly. With lemons being soooo juicy i added glossy accents to give the look of a juicy lemon, leaving the pithe and pips free from shine.
I inked around the edge of the die cut oval using distress ink in 'tea stain'. I also inked around the sentiment.
Finally i added a few gems .... just because ;O)

Heres a close up of the lemon.

Well thats it from me today.. I hope that you are having a fantastic weekend. I cant wait to stop by your blogs to see all your fantastic creations. Each blog i visit gives me such inspiration. So a great big thankyou from me.

The sponsor this week is Joanna Sheen, who are giving 1 lucky random winner at £10 voucher to spend in store.
My DT cards:
This week ive taken 1 image to make 2 creations. I am sure that a few of us have downloaded an image with a specific idea in mind. Then wondered how we can change the image just by use of colour.. Well here ive made a normal colours card to make a New Home Card. Then i stepped outside the box and changed the colours of things. i.e green clouds and sky with a purple and pink tree ;O) . I needed a funky card for a 9 year old girl, so think that it worked rather well. :O)

The image i worked with this week was Treehouse with Bridge. By the fantastic Hope Jacare Doodles.
The image was fantastic to colour and i cant wait to use it again to see what other creations i can make.

I coloured both images with my Promarkers and then added my favorite Stickles and glossy accents ;O) . A sprinkle of a few gems and lots of love.

I hope that you have enjoyed your visit to my part of cyberspace this week . I cant wait to visit yours. Lets hope that Blogger is nice to us all this week ;O)

Anything but square.

The sponsor this week is

My DT cards :

I made this stepper card using the cupcake collection. Of course it needed abit of sparkle so i used stickles and glossy accents ;O) The yummy cupcakes were coloured using my Promarkers.

For my second card i made a tall deckle edged card using this scrummy looking sundae. The sundae glass must be filled with choccy ice cream and just a smidge of Strawberry ontop. A sundae isnt a sundae without cream and of course a cherry/ or strawberry ;O)

The glossy accents and stickles paid a visit to the sundae that was coloured with my Promarkers. I added a choccy ribbon and kept my card to scrummy ice cream colours
