CC Designs Digi DT

In December I was a Guest DT for All That Scraps Digital Design Team, and I am pleased to say that Ria and Christine have asked me to join the Digi Design Team on a permanent basis...and I have accepted.

So here is a card I made with one of the recent releases...
CC Designs Swiss Pixie Sweetheart Birgitte

I have a couple of pictures....

I have used an Inkadinkado quote stamp and after I took this picture I decided to place the hearts over her eyes...

So here she is with her eyes covered with the hearts...

 I have coloured the image with Copics using the following colours...

Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20

Hair - E55/E53/E51/E50

Clothing - R81/R83/R85/E30/E31/E25/E27/R37

The papers are all by Bo Bunny Press called Crazy Love and I have layered them with some kraft cardstock. I used nestied to cut the circle and scalloped matt and my Martha Stewart Valentine lave border punch. To finish off the card I have simply added some pearl bling to the image and corners.

I am undecided on the hearts covering her eyes...just cannot decide which I prefer...LOL....help me!

You need to check out the Dies to Die For store as they have a huge selection of these dies...the largest collection of them I have found in the UK, and the January release is on order and should be here very soon...so there will be smaller rolled roses soon. The sentiment is one from Craftwork Cards and I have used some spotted ribbon that I got in HobbyCraft.

Cute Card Thursday - A Sketch by Lisa!

OK, so I know I am super behind in posting these cards as this was my Cute Card Thursday DT card for 23rd December...LOL. My back was so bad that I could only sit in the chair long enough to type the CCT post and not my own.

I also used the stickers in that range for the border strip and the sentiment and the cloud matt behind the image.
