Craftlandia Challenge 20

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 AylaLizMariela and (of course) Mia.


Our theme for challenge 20 is "HEARTS OR ANYTHING GOES

Our generous sponsor is:
Please head over to the Etsy store to see the range
of collage sets, stamp sets, paper and ATC packs
and complete digital kits that Leanne (the owner) has in the store.

Prize: $25 voucher to spend at Gecko Galz

Here is the inspiration that I made with one of our sponsors images:


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

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!

Ayla said...

Besote!!!!!

This is a very impressive card, the colors of the background make the heart look particularly strong.

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!
