Published! First time!

This is currently one of my favorite digi's from Whimsy.  She is called Birdie Friend.  Is she beautiful?  The background flowers are from Mel Stampz and I merged them using the software Inkscape.  It's a free software and works well for merging and layering multiple digi's.  I popped up one of the flowers, birdie and the ribbon in her hair for additional texture.  I added some clouds in the background, but they seem a little faint in this picture.  Also, spellbinders was used for the hearts circle background and a martha stewart fence punch too.  I also snuck in a flourish die I have and some awesome red flowers from my stash.

She was published in Whimsy's Inspiration Magazine!!


Here is a bit of a close up.  The fence has white crackle on it and was sponged with Linen Antique ink, but it doesn't seem to show the crackles much.

  2. Great card Nic and yes, I can see the crackle on the fence - that looks really neat and I like it. Love this little gal too, she's as cute as can be and you've done a great job on your card. Nice colouring too... her hair is perfect! Those little red bobble flowers are pretty nifty too.
