My "Dottie's World" Guest DT "Fairy" + Tons of Challenges Card



Hello All!
This month I get to hang out with the awesome girls over @ "Dottie's World"!
I am their August Guest Designer.
This weeks "Black and White" challenge was set by Gunn.

This is what she asks:

"I want you to make a card that goes in black and white. You can use all shades of black and white.
Skin tones are allowed on skin....
Elements are great on cards- charms, flowers or what ever you like. On these elements I want you to have ONE other color, just to make an contrast to the black and white. You don`t need to have this color on all the elements, but one should have the color you choose.

Of course, remember to include Charmed downloads.”



I used "Charmed Cards" "Water Lilly" from their "Pixie Chicks - Collection #1" She is popped from the page in places and sparkled and shined. I used green for my accent colors in the leaves on the bouquet, her eyes, wings, and the flower in her hair.




A friend of mine said I should name my card "Fairies Follies". She is a little on the sexy side. ;)

I used an assortment of papers from Bazzill, DCWV-Glitter Stack, Delish, and the beautiful "Laser Silver Lustre" is from "The Paper Temptress".



I am only showing this card as a sample challenge card for "Dottie's World but....I get to enter it in the following challenges!!!!

Creative Inspirations #14 – “Bling”
I have pearls and beads and glitter and shine and metallic thread and………I GOT BLING! : )

My Time to Craft #71 – “Floral Frenzy”
I used a bouquet of flowers and there is a flower in Lilly’s hair.

Creative Card Crew – “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!”
Lilly looks like she would be fun…don’t ya think? ;)

Stamp Something – “Paper Piece Something”
I paper pieced the frame around Lilly and some of her body parts and wings are pieced.

Daring Card Makers – “Bejeweled Bliss”
I have LOTS of bling and sparkle on this one!

One Stop Craft Challenge #40 – “Swirls and Pearls”
There are swirls in the black DP and pearls in the bouquet.

Paper Play – “Dimension” – make your card 3D
Always do! ; )

Pile it on – “At least 3 flowers” plus other challenges
I used 4 flowers in the bouquet and there is one on her head.
Other challenges? See above! LOL! ;)


Please leave me a comment if you have the time. I so appreciate hearing from you all!
I hope you will hop over to "Dottie's World" and check out my other card they have posted as well as the other DT's awesome cards...after you leave a comment! Hehehee!
Hugs,
True :)
