Guest Designer Monica C - Chosen by Design Team Member Danka Brzezińska

Chosen by

Danka Brzezińska

https://pasje.danki.pl/

My name is Monica and I live in sunny Florida in the USA. My crafting passion is coloring with my Prismacolor colored pencils and so most of my projects have some pencil coloring on them. However I enjoy incorporating hand coloring with digital media and electronic machines. I have a Silhouette electronic die cutting machine and I love to use the Silhouette Software to design my cards, add the layers and cut various elements. This card is one of those that combines the traditional with the modern.

The stamp I used is Rose Blessings by Imagine That Digistamps. I created the background image by changing the color of the lineart image and placing them on the background. I printed one rose out separately after sizing it just a little bigger than the background roses. The single rose is colored with my pencils and then cut out with the Silhouette. I added the cardpanel to a dark purple cardbase and then adhered the single rose to the card and completed it with a sentiment that I die cut and covered in Wink of Stella.

You can visit my blog at Sunshine Creativity to read more detail on my process. Thank you for having me as a Guest Designer.

Proudly designing for:

Rabisco, Colour Crazy, Outlawz, Cute 'N Crafty,

A bully free zone

From time to time it maybe necessary to delete trolls, as they have effected me for most of my online involvement activities. No matter what I''ve sacrificed and given up to help others they still sometimes find away to rear their ugly profiles. I do apologize in advance for our genuine supporters if this does happen,

I am ALWAYS contactable and I never knock back genuine support.

Please contact me anytime if you are being harassed by trolls in regards to my life, please tell them nicely to leave you alone and go away, and or simply block them. The feature is there for ANYONE to use for their own safety requirements. If you have any questions anytime please email me at meganmflynn1@outlook.com

You should never be made to feel guilty for looking after your own safety and mental health needs, it's simple, if someone is mean and nasty to you, mock you and leaves you not feeling good about yourself, you don't need them in your life, delete and block them immediately on social media and never give them anymore of your time, you don't need to chase friends. Your true friends are with you no matter what.

Here we craft for Happiness, support, encouragement and friendship world wide. Feel free to come along and join us anytime, you'll always find friendship here whilst creating wonderful craft together.

About Megan

My name is Megan I am 44 years of age, lucky to be here, after surviving a stroke in 2015 which has lead to no longer being able to work as to why I started this challenge as a hobby and another multi craft platform to share and support all craft, a place where no handmade creation is left out.

I took up craft when a friend showed me how to make a couple of cards and then decided to go in it a bit further and learned it was a way of happiness away from being constantly bullied for most of my life.

Creating lets me be free and enjoy something, I've learned to like mostly card making , and mixed media, stamps and more. Everyone wants to share how they created that card, what techniques they used, every creation is different and our own and thats what I love.

I went to my first expo at Ballarat Craft Alive and promoted good mental health in 2018. This year I went inter state and went to a Queensland craft show and met many of the wonderful online crafting community members there, and I hope to visit more places soon and meet more, Craft shows are the best as you see so much in real life in one place.

I host a happy little facebook group called

Happy Craft Creations,

come on over and share the inspiration and positive conversation anytime, we are a world wide community and all craft is welcome.

Commenting

Sometimes we may not be able to comment on all work, as life does get in the way. With the Happy Craft Challenge we have not got a rotation system going for comments, we''d like to keep commenting genuine and sincere as possible, having said that, the feeling of getting a wow, thats awesome, brilliant and so on is a great feeling all round and believe strongly it also works both ways, we love reading comments under our posts and the design team loves hearing from you so if you comment under any we'll return the favor.

All though we have asked the team from here on in to comment on 10 entries or more as they wish of their choice, this way they are as genuine as possible not because they have to on those entries.

So to be sure you receive a comment, in each month, we'd love to hear from you anytime. We try to post something weekly to give you opportunity to comment so please take advantage anytime to leave a comment or two each month and you'll be sure to hear a reply.
