More Graduations...

Well I just had to show this card as a follow up to yesterday's girlie graduation card. This is the other graduation digi stamp I have by The Greeting Farm. If you would like these digi stamps (and who wouldn't?) join in at The Pink Elephant challenge this week. Thanks to the generousity of The Greeting Farm we have two of these cute dig stamps available for one lucky winner.

Challenges:

• The Secret Crafter - 'Bling' - check out those huge rhinestones
• One Stop Craft Challenge - 'Embossing' - the panel behind the nestie frame is embossed with the Swiss Dot folder.
• The Pile it on Challenge - enter as many challenges as possible and sentiment cannot be stamped - my sentiment is DCWV paper

Materials used:

• The Greeting Farm - Grad Ian digi stamp
• black card and silver mirri card
• DCWV congratulations paper
• Swiss Dots embossing folder
• Nestability scalloped and plain circle
• Cricut to cut stars
• rhinestones and star shaped brad from stash.

Hope everyone noticed the new challenge site on this posting. The Pile it On challenge - love it - at long last a challenge blog that actually challenges you to enter as many challenges as possible. That just tickles me!!!

Dare 2 Digi and Cutie Sunday...

I had this adorable little Dorothy and Toto digi image by the Greeting Farm already coloured so it seemed a shame not to make her up into a card for the challenge at Dare 2 Digi. This week they want people to use the colours pink and green - very convenient for me as I had already given Dorothy a pink and green outfit.

As I have had very little time today I used the brilliantly easy sketch from Cutie Sunday and put the card together super fast. There may be some very wobbly edges so don't look tooooooooo closely. The little bone button turned up during my massive (ongoing) sort out session - isn't it cute?

Pink Elephant Day...

Time for a colour challenge at the Pink Elephant Challenge Blog and our chosen colours are...

Pink - Pale green and Pale yellow - a stunning combination.

This week we have been sponsored by the Greeting Farm and each member of the DT have used one of the Greeting Farm's digi stamps in their designs for the challenge. I've only discoverd these digi stamps recently and oh my I really love them.

My card features Dorothy and her little Scottie dog - isn't she cute? I coloured her with my Promarkers and I must say the very thick black lines on the digi stamp made colouring the image very easy for a Promarker beginner like me. I need more colours ASAP - particulary a yellow and a pale green as the green on her dress was too dark really for my liking, but ah well they can go on my wish list!!

Using digi stamps also means that you can play around with the size of your image, which (apart from using shrink plastic) is something you can't really do with rubber stamps. I used the image to create simple, but pretty inner for my card.


The inner is actually a double layer - one layer of pink with a punched border and one layer with a computer generated sentiment and the digi stamp reduced in size to adorn both corners.

The ABC challenge has reached the letter I and the theme is 'inners' so my card is also for their challenge. I can't believe they have reached 'I' already. I am determined to do all the letters this time - wonder what we will be given for 'J'?
