Spots and Dots

The challenge over at Whoopsi Daisy is Sports and Dots, or is it Dots and Spots? Hm, never mind, I've got both. The colours are Spring like so I've also entered this one in to the Joanna Sheen Challenge which has the theme Spring is in the Air.

The image is from Joanna Sheen's CD Daisy and Friends, all the images drawn by Linnie. I coloured it with Promarkers before cutting out into a rectangle. I cut a Spellbinders scalloped square and put it through the Grand Calibur with the Cuttlebug folder Swiss dots. This was used as a mat to make the image stand out. The backing paper is from a First Editions pad called Hideaway and I used the sheet of glittered spots in springlike colours. I matted it on to yellow card from Ross Paper. I used a Whimsy die to cut the circle and added a button from Create and Craft and some yellow baker's twine from Joanna Sheen. I generated the sentiment on the computer. The large square card blank is by Craft UK.

#93 Please Drink Responsibly

This is the last challenge before Christmas over at One Stitch at a Time Challenge Blog and the theme of this challenge is everyone's favourite 'Anything Goes'. I chose Stitchy's digi called Please Drink Responsibly. I used a large scalloped card blank from Craft UK but I have no idea where I got the striped purple card from. :(

Our sponsor this week is Stitchybear herself, brilliant!

I coloured the digi with Promarkers, edged it with Dusty Concord Distress Ink and cut it with a Spellbinders grand oval nestie. I used a lilac flowered paper in a scalloped oval the next size up and then backed that with a purple grand nestie oval in the next size up again. The purple card is from Papermill. The matted layers made a beautiful frame for this fun image. I used a Sakura stardust pen for the glasses and the button on her trousers. I added some purple pearls, from WOC, for earrings and necklace - then I put it through the Grand Calibur again, which flattened the pearls and I think they look pretty cool! I added a piece of lilac lace which I bought at the local market and a band of the striped card, to go across the lace. Purple flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the leaves are cut with Crealies dies.
