DT Post #39 - Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Hi bloggers

I hope you are looking forward to a lovely weekend. I wish the rain would go away and it was a bit warmer again - I hate having to wear layers all the time.

This month our Sponsor is none other than the super talented Heather Ellis of Digi Stamp Characters.  You can buy Heathers cute images as a Digital image or in Rubbah too from Stamping Bella.  So whats up for grabs???  The winner will choose any 4 images from The Digi stamp Characters SHOP.
This week at Sweet Stampin# we are using a favourite image/stamp. I have many favourites, but this llittle girl , Daisy from Sugar Nellie, has been a long time favourite and is one I really love, so sweet and pretty. For this occasion I have layered her on to some very special papers which I have printed from my new Artylicious Essence of Nature CD. These are printed on to 160gsm paper to give some weight. I have used two co-ordinating papers. I have coloured the image with Copics. A band of lace is across the middle of the card, and a flower made from netting with a pearl tucked into the middle, along with two pearl pins. I have also embellished with a small selfcoloured butterly decorated with pearls, and a loop of pearls on the top.




I am entering this for the following challenges:

Alphabet Challenge - P for Punches
Craftalicious Challenge #6 - Pearls and Swirls - well my Oearls are swirly ...
Flutterby Wednesday #117 - I have a butterfly
Papertake Weekly Challenge - Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue - old is the stamped inage, which is also borrowded from a dear crafty friend, new - my papers, blue is the background on the papers
Crafty Creations #80 - Winged things - I have a butterfly


Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate your comments.
