Good morning, I hope your week is going well wherever you are. Today sees a new challenge over at The Paper Shelter and the theme this week is Punches and Dies. Here is my card:
I have used the delightful Spring Enchantment which is available here to purchase. I coloured her with my Copics and when I had finished I noticed I had a blog of the orange ink to the side of the image so that's the reason why I had to stamp all around the edge - to hide the blob! The digital papers are Digital Designs Essentials: A Good Day. I made my card blank using Go Kreate Die and card stock from the Papermill. My punch is a Martha Stewart punch which I used for the border. I used Spellbinders Teardrop Circles and Dienamics stitched circle Stax for the circular mat behind the image. For the image I cut her out with Dienamics Stitched Rectangle Stax and mounted her on Cheery Lynn mini Pearl Square Doily (I know its a square die but you can make it into a rectangle if you are careful). The sentiment and pennant are Lil Inker. So that makes 6 Dies and 1 Punch used!
As usual there is a fabulous prize for the lucky winner:
Please head over to The Paper Shelter Challenge and check out the rest of the DT projects they are such a talented bunch I feel very honoured to be amongst them!
