Good morning everyone,
Today is the 22nd June so time for another one of Mia's Craftlandia challenges. You can find the challenge post here. You will also find inspiration from my fellow hosts Ayla, Liz, Mariela and (of course) Mia.
Our theme for challenge 20 is "HEARTS OR ANYTHING GOES”

Prize: $25 voucher to spend at Gecko Galz
I have an ambition to get better at creating and using digital images, so I am quite pleased as the main elements of this card were created digitally. I used the Fresco app on my iPad to create the watercolour background. It was surprisingly quick and easy to do and I have to say, I quite like the look. I can't take any credit for the central image as that comes from our sponsor. I sized it and then printed it on glossy paper and fussy cut it. The backing heart was cut from matt gold card, which I also used for the sentiment shadow and one of the mats.
It is unusual for me to use digital images, but I am pleased to have given it a go and am fairly happy with the result.
I hope you will find time to join in with Craftladia 20.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

You and I both on digital images Hilary, but I have seen those from the sponsor before and some are beautiful. I think you did a great job here.

I must say that you've integrated the peacock heart with the rest of the elements that you've created really skilfully. The look like they came out of a kit! Really gorgeous card, Hilary!
What a pretty peacock coloured heart Hilary and so very 3D for a flat image! I don't get on well with digi images at all but you seem to have mastered this one! x
Incredible for a digital image, Hilary! Wow, did you ever make it the star of your card!

Well, I'm not a fan of digital images too, but this one is very special, with the peacockfeathers all around!
This looks like a beautiful piece of jewelry, Hilary! Awesome use of a digital image!
I haven’t used a digital image in a long time. Your use of one is quite amazing, so gorgeous in color! A very regal stunning card, well done!
This is so pretty Hilary - love the background you created, and the end result is absolutely gorgeous
Blessings

Absolutely masterful, Hilary! I used to love using digis, but then for a number of reasons steered away. You have my jaw dropped over your combination of parts and colors for this design. Beautiful!
This beautiful jewelry heart looks amazing with the great background you've created! It's amazing!!! Besitos...
Wowwww preciosa, me encanta ese fondo de acuarela y hecho digital, que pasote jeje. Para mi también ha sido mi primera vez de trabajar en digital las imágenes, pero vamos ni sabrÃa como hacer un fondo tan lindo :D
Besote!!!!!
This is a very impressive card, the colors of the background make the heart look particularly strong.
I thank you for your card and the kind wishes and I am very happy that you thought of me. Hugs Gundi
This is amazing design and stunning colours, very cleverly done x
Really wonderful!
Hugs,

Looks amazing, Hilary! I don't do digital--not a good enough printer and too many stamps in my stash, so I would feel guilty. But I know there are some advantages and gorgeous images, like yours!
Una tarjeta increÃble, gracias por organizar el reto.
Besos
Oh Hilary, I love It! you are a colorqueen!
Creatieve groetjes, Anja
