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


If you don't already subscribe to the Stitchy Bear Newsletter I would suggest that you sign up as you will always be kept up to date with the latest image news.

In the spotlight this week is Bonna of Kelley Kids who designs some gorgeous images. The girls have made some fab cards with her images and shown what you can achieve with her images from the store.

Pop over to the store and make sure you sign up for it. While you are there don't forget that for the Month of July we have a new store collab with the theme of Weddings & Sympathy which is free with a $10 purchase.



We have an amazing opportunity for you too. To celebrate the ad campaign we are having in Papercraft Essentials Magazine and to reward our loay followers we are having a "Pretty in Print" contest.


Who wouldn't want the opportunity to be published ? Please click on the link above to be taken to the post on OSAAT which explains all the rules for entry.

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,

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges (in Alphabetical Order):-

Hi Mandy

What a great way to use up those snippets (and very pretty ones at that).

Great use of your MS punch and lovely layout.

You have certainly managed to fit your fab project into loads of challenges .. .. it must have taken for ever to link them all up!! I think you should receive a patience award!

Thank you for keeping me company in my battle to stop the snippets taking over the craft space.

Love Jules xx
