June 2020 Craft-Dee BowZ challenge

Hello Crafters

Welcome to June and to another new month.

Hope May was a good month for you 
and that June will be even better.

Speaking of June, its time for the start of the June challenge at

Craft-Dee BowZ challenge 

Our June sponsor is 

Bugaboo

The Winner will receive:
a gift code that is valued at about 4 digital images 
Click here to check out their digi selection

I used the Floral Butterfly Thank You image
on my card.

I foiled the digital image and 
here is a better view to see that foiling

Foiling is so hard to photograph. 

The Bow-
I used my fav, Hug Snug, (that I just got) to make my bow. 
The Hug Snug color I ordered is Chalk White,
 but I used Distress Ink - Mustard Seed to color it.
I love coloring my Hug Snug to be the color I want it to be.

My Craft-Dee BowZ tool enables me to make all my bows, 
and its so easy to use.
The great thing about the Craft-Dee BowZ tool 
is that it makes great smaller bows, for cards or gift bags,
as well as the larger bows to use on regular size gifts

Here is a closer view of the bow.

If you are bow challenged - the CDB tool is for you.
The tool is small and makes great bows. 
It's portable and easy to store.

Order yours over on the Craft-Dee BowZ blog and
just click on the Buy Now button on the left sidebar.

Thinking of You

Welcome Back  !!!!

       

It's June 1 and that means spring is ending and summer will officially start on June 21. 

Time is flying by isn't it!!

Since it's the first of the month, it's time for the next Craft-Dee BowZ  Challenge.

The CDB challenge is a monthly challenge and the theme is always:

Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow.

That's easy enough, LOL

The sponsor for June at Craft-Dee BowZ is

Imagine That

Even though spring is winding down,
 I thought I'd use the very pretty image of

Teacup Pansies

Pansies are so pretty and
I just love that they come in so many different colors.

I decided to use colored pencils for coloring these lovely flowers

I  tried using alcohol markers but felt colored pencils gave a softer look.
 I used gamsol to soften the coloring even more.

I found a piece of DP I had saved and since it had a soft yellow background 
and a soft pastel design, I decided to use it. 
It was a perfect choice for the layered piece behind the image.

My bow - Made it using my trusty Craft-Dee BowZ tool

Easy to use, 

itsmall and takes up little space for storage 

or if you want to take it with you.

Order yours over on the Craft-Dee BowZ site.

Hi Everyone

Oh my, it's June 1, already. We are almost half over with this year. I don't believe it.

Well, since it's June 1, that means it's time for the June Craft-Dee BowZ challenge. The design team has some great inspiration projects for your review. Click here and check out the other DT projects. 

In the meantime, let me share my inspiration project.

As I assembled this card, I didn't have a sentiment. So I set the card aside for a bit. Then as I looked at the birds, I just thought of  tweeting. So that's how the sentiment came to be. LOL

I added a feather to the tails on both of these birds.... just wanted to embellish these birdies a bit.

     

I used my Craft-Dee BowZ tool to make a stacked, triple loop bow. Here is a  close up of the bow I used on my card. 

The Craft-Dee BowZ tool makes this kind of a bow, and it's so easy to make. 

This tool might be small but will make a big difference in your bows.
