For me, the big advantage of using digis is the ability to resize, which makes them so versatile. Here, I printed this A Day for Daisies digital image very large and cropped a third of it away. I shaded him with a grey Promarker and paper- pieced his clothes. I made a border with a Martha Stewart punch and stamped (physical stamps this time) the sentiment using an Avery Elle set.
I'd like to enter the first (paper-pieced) card into:
Cards Und More snowmen
Double D red and white
Cardz 4 Galz snowman
Sparkles Christmas snowman
I'd like to enter the second (4 snowmen) card into:
Casology stormy - I think that's a snowstorm!
Cas-ual Fridays winter blues
Cardz 4 Guyz snowman
Always Fun snowment
Two super cards, Marina, I love how you've paper pieced the first one. I do use digi stamp sometimes, but I must admit that I do feel a bit like I've cheated. xx
ReplyDeleteBoth fabulous cards, especially love the second one with the embossing and the mini snowmen.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started card making I used to think that about digi stamps too but since I 'discovered' digi's I'm converted and must admit now 90% of my cards are using digi's, 2 reasons for this being that you can resize to suit and the main one is being on a tight budget I would rarely be able to purchase stamp sets whereas I can have 4 or 5 new images for the same price ;)

I'm with you, I love digis and you really showcase them stunningly... Love these cards and may have to buy that digi!

ReplyDeleteI love both of these cards! Thank you for joining us at Cardz 4 Galz. Sian.
ReplyDeleteApart from resizing and cropping I use my digis in the same way as my rubber stamps, so I don't feel using digis is cheating either. I love the qualities of digis as you mention, but it's also fun to rummage through stash rather than files, so I feel I'm enjoying both. Your cards here are brilliant examples of how to use digis in different ways and they're adorable!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to showcase the benefits of digis! I have a few, but don’t use them much. Mostly because of my printer. Great cards!
ReplyDeleteTwo super cards Marina and I love the way you have demonstrated the versatility of the digi stamps, I have been known to use them when I'm stuck for a specific image but after seeing this I might think about them more.

ReplyDeleteThese are both absolutely amazing Marina! I love the "giant" version, his paper pieced clothes look great! I don't think it's cheating to use digi stuff -I think I would use digis too if I just had the skills (or the patience to learn...). These two card show how versatile digis can be and what amazing designs one card make with them!
ReplyDeleteTotally perfect blue winter card! Thanks for playing with our Casual Fridays challenge and good luck!
