Prima Flowers!

Talented Friends of Crafty and Green Guest Design Thursday!

TALENTED FRIENDS OF CRAFTY AND GREEN GUEST DESIGNER DAY. 
Week # 13
Hello Friends! Welcome to another talent filled Guest Designer Thursday here at Crafty & Green!! I'm really enjoying the diversity of projects from my guest Designers. Just so you know, the Guest Designers will follow the Theme of the month and have the option to use the sketch or create something completely unique!

This Month the theme for my guest designers is Girls, Girls, Girls! I'm So Excited to Introduce a Very Special Talented Friend, not to mention on of my VERY BEST Crafty Friends and My Guest Designer this week:
JACKIE RANDOLPH


Hello, I am excited to be joining Tina today as a guest designer (thanks girl friend!!). My card today is for this month's theme Girls, Girls, Girls, using a Mo's Digital Pencil 2 image called  "A Big Whoop" isn't she just perfect for this fun theme? So let's hear it for the Girl's in your life!!  My card was created for a very special friend who brings many smiles and laughs each day - Thanks Tina, not sure what I would do with out your friendship!!

This little gal is colored with Copic , cut out using Spellbinder's large circle die and layered onto a Spellbinder's large Scalloped circle die. I hand wrote "Let's hear it for the Girls" around the edge using a fine tip  CM pen in blue, for my papers I found these scraps in my basket (knowning Tina loves to go Green) and layered them onto Paper Trey Ink Spring Rain and Simply Chartreuse card stock. Ribbon is from SU from quite awhile ago (love using up my stash of ribbon) and to finish my card I added 3 Pebbles Candy dots in light blue!!

I hope you enjoyed my card, and have a wonderful crafty day!!
You can find me over at http://papermoments.blogspot and I would love for you to visit anytime!!

Hi!  My name is Ashley from The Glamorous Side Of Scrapping and I'm so excited to be a Guest Designer today for Tina!  I made a card for the Girls, Girls, Girls theme.  I went with the Paisley Cricut cartridge for my focus cut.  I wasn't happy with any cardstock colors so I colored the jeans, flower shirt and mini flowers with my Copics.  The sentiment is from K.Andrew Designs' Fashionable Friends stamp set.  I also used Spellbinders Nestabilities, a Fiskars punch and a Cuttlebug Polka Dot embossing folder.  I gave the the card a bit of dots and finished it up with faux stitching.  I hope you enjoyed my card and have a fabulous crafty day!


What an Adorable Card, Ashley!! This is super Cute!! Thank you so much for being my Talented Guest Designer This Week!! Please Stop by Ashley's Blog & Leave her some Love!
