THE PRIZE

Letraset

The lucky winner will win a pack of 5 ProMarkers

Here is my DT take on the challenge:


I have gone with a brown theme. I like all the shades used. From milk chocolate brown (the card base) to dark chocolate brown (the button).. LOL! Notice how everything is related to food over here?! Heehee. I have used papers from a DCWV pack I have had forever, called Rockstar. I don't know why I have overlooked these gorgeous papers for so long?!

I have added some hand stitching to the top of the card. The pattern was made using my WRMK - Sew Easy tool - the scallop head, obviously! LOL. I have threaded the top scallop with buttermilk embroidery floss and the bottom scallop with brown bakers twine. I'm not too sure how well it has shown up in the photo - but you can really see the twists of brown and white - you should try it. It's a really neat effect!!


I have used Biker Chic Chloe which can be found over on Fairy Dust Crafts, along with all of Lexi's other gorgeous digis. I love her curly hair and buckled boots. Very trendy! I have cut the image using a labels 14 nestie, and gone around the outside with some 7Gypsies stamps in SU! Crumb Cake ink.


These letter stickers are from Cosmo Cricket - and I've said it before, but I'll say it again, these are thee perfect size for cards! I have used the Whimsy Stamps Friendship Tickets set to create my sentiment and the co-ordinating die to cut them out.


Some yummy Prima flowers have been used to embellish the corner. I used my Imaginisce i-top i-Top tool to make a brad using matching paper and I added some stickles.

I would like to enter this card into these challenges:
