Hello everyone
Firstly, can I take this opportunity to wish you all a Very Happy New Year.
I hope you all had a fabulous festive time and enjoyed yourselves.
So, new year, new challenge.
This is my first project for 2020. (Gosh that feels weird!)
Anyhoo, here we go.
Our challenges at Digi Choosday, as you probably know, are always ANYTHING GOES! However, the Design Team always have little extra challenges to build in to their projects and this first project of 2020 was to make a Winter Birthday card.
Isn't she just beautiful? She is called Snowdrop from the Darling Buds collection. This collection of images is just tooooo pretty. I think I may have to have them all! Lol
Now the image comes in black and white for you to colour yourself but as a fabulous bonus the download also includes a pre-coloured image and that is what I have used here. The reason I went for the pre-coloured image on this occasion was because I wanted to make a matching tag and I wanted it to be an exact copy so I just printed two images in different sizes which worked perfectly.
The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Winnie Celebrations 3 sentiments download and the other sentiment is from the Quotes - Winnie Special Moments download.
Now because I adore the image I didn't want to overpower it with lots of flowers and embellishments so I decided to just use a background paper. Oh my, as soon as I saw this paper I just knew it would be a perfect background to the image. This is from the Winnie Wonderland Paper Heaven 6 download - isn't it just the prettiest paper??
I always have to add my images on an angle (well more often than not anyway), don't know why, just think it looks a bit more interesting that way. How do you like to add your images? Are you a jaunty or level kind of crafter?? I'd love to know.
Anyway, just before I go, I want to remind you that not only is today the start of our new challenge at Digi Choosday, there is, of course a FABULOUS HUGE DISCOUNT available for you to use at the POLKADOODLES STORE. Just hop on over to the challenge blog and you will find the discount code at the top of the new challenge post. I'm sure some of you will have received a few pennies for Christmas eh?? Lol
Until next time.
