Ladybug Girl - Craftin Desert Divas Digi DT Card

Hi there everyone and happy Friday.  I hope you are all well and ready for the weekend because I know I am.

It was Megan's 8th birthday yesterday and I am organising a Strictly Come Dancing themed party for her on Sunday so I am chasing my tail a bit at the moment but I'm sure it will be all worth it when all the girls are glammed up and dancing away.

I am really excited to announce that I have been invited to join the brand new Digital Design Team over at Craftin Desert Divas !!  If you aren't familiar with them pop over to the page and have a look, there are some gorgeous digis as well as clear stamps and dies.

For my first project I have used the cute Ladybug Girl digistamp and coloured her up with my copics.  I've added a few extra spots here and there and blinged up her wings with some glamour dust.

As always I've gone for the layered look using the Doodlebug Lovebugs paper pad plus some black and white spotty paper from my scraps pile.  I'm a sucker for polka dots!  I've layered all my paper panels onto black cardstock to make them stand out in all the red and I've embellished with pearls, buttons, die cut flowers and twine.

I am really pleased with it and it's definitely going to be an image I use over and over again.

If you would like to see more projects made with their other fab products check out the Blog or the Facebook Gallery.  We are also on Pinterest and you can find us here

I will be adding more cards over the coming weeks so be sure to check back soon.

Have a fabulous weekend.

The Papernest Dolls Challenge #7 - Ballgown Ella

Good morning everyone

It's time for a brand new challenge over at the Papernest Dolls and I am excited to show you my first Design Team card for them.  The theme as always is 'Anything Goes'

I decided to make a stepper card which is a bit out of my comfort zone but it did give me a chance to use lots of layers and detail,

I have used the gorgeous Ballgown Ella stamp from the Fairytale Collection and she was an absolute dream to colour but I definitely need some more practice on colouring folds !

I have added a full list of supplies at the end of my post.

I've used faux stitching around most of my panels and 'stitched' with a turquoise gel pen so it stands out.

I have also embossed the white cardstock panel with hearts although it doesn't show up very well in the picture.

If you fancy joining us this month pop over to the blog where you can also check out what the rest of the DT have created for you.  You could be in with a chance of winning a prize and we love to see your creations.

That's all from me for today, have a great Monday everyone
