OSAAT #69 - Use a Digi

There's a new challenge today at One Stitch At A Time and that is to use a digi. I know this will attract a whole host of entrants as more and more people are using digis these days. I know it is very rare for me NOT to use one now....

We have a fabulous prize for one lucky winner which is a £10 gift voucher for One Stop Card Crafts

My card for this challenge was made using a gorgeous stamp called Angie by Beary Dust Stamps. She has such a sweet expression on her face and I loved her pretty hair :)

The image is coloured with Promarkers and I used lots of different tones of browns in her hair. The image was mounted on 3d foam and edged with a Krylon gold marker.

The papers are both scraps from 2 different Dovecraft First Edition pads, no new sheets were harmed in the making of this card...... Both papers are glittered but it is quite subtle and shows up better on the pink one in my photo. I've used Martha Stewart punches on the heart border and the butterflies. I added some Prima flowers, some brads and some gems on the butterflies. The glittered birthday sentiment is from my stash and I used an ink pad to distress the edges of this and the white paper.

Materials Used in this card are as follows:-

Card Size - 5.5" Square

Sketch - A Gem of a Challenge #24

Papers - offcuts from First Edition pads (Dovecraft)

Image - Angie by Beary Dust

Tools - Nestability dies, Martha Stewart doily heart & butterfly punches

Embellishments - Prima Flowers, brads by Papermania, gems from stash

Techniques - Distressing with ink pad,punching, layering,
