It's a BeeeeDay First

 Hello everyone

It's Anything Goes

at 

Through the Purple Haze.

The sponsor is Hetty Clare.

I'm going with a birthday card for a 'first' birthday and the birthday theme is Happy Bee Day.

I'm using the Hetty Clare image ... Fairy Cupcake for my card

I colored it with the theme in mind with marker.  The number 1 is cut with my cricut and stacked a few.  Then dipped and dipped again in glitter.  Why? I don't know, it's all over everything and I mean everything.  

The sentiment is from My Favorite  Things 'Meant to Be' that I stamped in Distress and then covered in clear embossing powder.  The background paper is from the Recollections collection. A bit of Wink of Stella on the wings to make them shimmer and fun.  

I hope you have fun playing along with us on the challenge.  It's anything goes so have at it. 

Thanks for stopping by.

For my card, I started with the image where I layered the picture and the text.  I colored it with markers.  I cut the frame in red cs and then in white cs where I used a Martha Steward dotted scallop edge punch.  The paper is from Recollections that I bought last year post holiday on an amazing sale and the pad has just been waiting patiently to be pulled from the shelf.  I wrapped red dotted ribbon around the front panel and then mounted everything onto a green top fold cs base.  I dropped some assorted sized red sequins in the corners and then dropped some silver Stickles into the centers.
I hope you have fun playing with us this month.

Mommie

   Hello again

This is my Design Team card for 

Through the Purple Haze

The theme this month is 
Lace and Pearls/Mom's Day

For my card, I started with a pink tag with a precut heart in the corner. I first layer on the tag, I used a flower stencil and Picked Raspberry distressed ink.  The next layer was another stencil, rising bubbles and gold Heidi glaze.  I used a piece of scrap white and a printed 'mom' with scroll work on either side.  I cut that down and then used a water brush and painted Spun Sugar, Abandoned Coral and Picked Raspberry over it and attached it to the tag.  I then edged the tag with Picked Raspberry ink.  I set that aside to dry.

For the front panel, I cut a piece of pink and white dotted card stock and edged that with a scallop punch from Martha Stewart.  I then grabbed a piece of cream card stock and punched a all around punch from martha stewart and edged that with Antique Linen.  I added that to the pink and white polka dot front.  I wrapped all of that with a cream lace ribbon. 

Out of brown cs I cut the scrip Yay  a couple of times and stacked them together and added a wink of stella to shine it up.  

Now to put them all together.  I used a side fold pink base and edged that with Picked Raspberry.  Next attached the dotted front with the scallop edge.  Now the tag: I added a pink satin ribbon to the hole punch and then attached the tag on an angle.  I then attached the Yay to the bottom.  

Time to bling:  I added pink Nuvo drops into the heart, scattered paper flowers from Recollections and more cream Nuvo drops on the top and bottom edge. 

I hope you give the challenge a try and play along with us at Through the Purple Haze.

Have a great crafting day.
