OSAAT Blog Hop - #144 Use a digi

The theme for this Blog Hop is' Use a digi' so I'm sure you'll all join in over at the challenge blog One Stitch at a Time. Come and join us and have some fun hopping from one blog to the next to check out all the DT cards. Comment on each card on the hop and you could win a prize from any of the blogs. The winning comment on my blog will receive the backing  papers - they are by Panda Bear over at Stitchybear Digital Stamps Shop. So even if you don't win my prize you can still buy them for yourself and at the same time check out all the other great digis on offer. We have lots of fantastic creators and their images are wonderful. I love making my cards from their images.

I coloured the Park Bench image with my Promarkers, using the metallic Promarkers for the trim on the dresses, and then framed it with a Spellbinders grand nestie. When it was still in the die I edged it with Distress Inks to give the effect of grass and sky. I used two Memory Box dies to cut the tree and the whimsy circle and I used another of Panda Bear's papers for these. The backing paper has beautiful golden circles on it with a glittering star effect so I added Cosmic Glimmer gold pearl drops to enhance some of the stars. It looks quite effective but I'm not sure that my photograph shows them off very well.
