My project today is a birthday card for my older daughter’s friend whose birthday party is tomorrow. This time I have chosen to use Birthday Girl with Balloons digi stamp which you can find at Craftin Desert Divas Shop.

I colored the image with Copics, and cut out with my Cameo.  I chose one of the sentiments that comes with the image for my card.  I colored over it with Copics and cut out with Crazy Stitched Frame die.

I chose this fun Echo Park paper and added Flower Power Sequins to the bottom right of the card.

My project is based on the mood board, I chose some soft pastel colors to make this diagonal gatefold creation.   

  This time I have chosen to use Bunny In A Basket digi stamp which you can find at Craftin Desert Divas Shop.

I colored the image with Copics, added dots on the bow with Sharpie paint pen and cut out with my scissors.  I used Bella Blvd. papers.

Sentiment, which you can find in the Animal Antics clear stamp set is cut out with a combination of the dies from Inside Scalloped Circle dies and Stitched in Circle dies sets and I popped out the smallest circle with pop up dots.  I added a magnet on the back so the card will stay closed.

MY FIRST POST FOR CRAFTIN DESERT DIVAS DIGI DT!

Hello to all my lovely friends and followers!  I hope you are all keeping well.  Life here has been pretty busy and will be continuously busy for about the next 4 weeks as lots of soccer will be played during that time and we are having some major work done on our home.  Anyway, I am super excited to announce that I am now part of CRAFTIN DESERT DIVAS DIGI DT!!

Now I want to share my first DT project with you today.  I have used April’s Mood Board for my inspiration and I chose the image Lamb with Cross digi which you can find at Craftin Desert Divas Shop.

I love that the image comes with a sentiment as well because it typically takes me forever to search for the perfect sentiment, so having one that comes with the image is a huge advantage for me!

I colored and outlined/highlighted my image with Copics as well as sentiment and cut both out with my Cameo.  I added  paper from Doodlebug Designs behind both.  The other papers I chose are from my stash.  I used a crinkly ribbon and flowers from I Am Roses to finish out my creation.  I sure hope you like it and that you will play along with our April Mood Board Challenge at Craftin Desert Divas Gallery!  Hugs

For my card this week, I chose Charmy Bunny digital image from The Paper Shelter Shop. I colored this amazing image with Copics and Atyou Spicas, then cut out with my Cameo.

I chose a Silhouette file from Crafts U Print of an Easter basket card.  I weaved the papers from Echo Park through the slats in the basket.  I added buttons from my stash, as well as Doodlebug designs puffy flower sticker on the bow.  Sentiment is from Jaded Blossom, cut out with die from my stash.  All the other elements on this card are from the cut file.
