Today is the 15th and the start of the new Sparkles Monthly challenge
the new theme is
'embossing'
here is my take
The new Sparkles Monthly challenge starts today
the new theme is
'Men'
here is my take
I made this card for my brother who has just planted some apple trees
The trees are die cut from green card and I inked the trunk and branches with brown copic leaving the green leaves
The background is distress ink simply applied as grass and sky
I glued the trees down and added the apples using nuvo drops
I made two tone apples by putting down the green drop and adding a red drop directly to it
and finished by adding the trees shadows and some fallen fruit
So have a look at Sparkles Monthly and make your own man themed paper craft project to enter
see you there
I am also linking this card with

Pearly Sparkles - anything goes

It's the first Sparkles Monthly Challenge of 2023!!
the new theme is
'friendship'
here is my take
I have this lovely sentiment stamp which I stamped onto an ATC and made the rainbow background with distress inks
Then I decided that it would look nice as a card so I made it a background from shiny purple and a sunburst type die
It needed something else so I added the black border with 3d enamel effect
so have a look at Sparkles Monthly and make your own friendship themed papercraft project to enter
see you there

Today is a Sparkles Monthly day
the new theme is
'owls'
here is my take
I designed and made my owl scene with my cricut and is simply layers of different coloured card
I also made the background paper using stamps and different coloured inks, although most of it ended up being covered up! so I prettied up the envelope with some offcuts
The sentiment was in my stash
