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.

HUGO

This puppy from Stamp Fairy is just too cute isn't he?  His name is Hugo!  I made him for the Craft Your Passion GD Card.  This weeks challenge is buttons and bows!

All the paper used today was from SU.  The bow I made with my boweasy and the buttons are part of my stash that has accumulated over the years.  

Thanks for dropping by,

Digi Darla-- Sept 18th Project

Good morning my favorite peeps.  Today's card was made with a Digi Darla image.  I had great fun coloring this image with all the pink and glitter, how fun!  This card is for LEJ's Sparkle and Shine challenge for this fortnight.  The sentiment is from Whimsy.  I glittered up the tutu and added clear applique on her crown for some shine, which I hope will come across on this picture.

Hope to see you over at LEJ Designs this week.
