DIGI MADNESS!

DIGI MADNESS is the new challenge theme over at ONE STITCH AT A TIME If you have collected a supply of digi images or papers and not had a chance to use them then now is the time to do it or even if you are a die hard rubber stamper then why not give it a go just for a bit of fun. There is a great prize from our fabulous sponsor this week CRAFT BRULEE a new online arts and crafts shop. If like me you love flowers, lace and ribbon then you will want to win the $10 voucher to spend in the shop.
For my card I decided to use digi papers I am still very new to digi paper I have only ever used it once before so thought it was about time I had another go and this time I was absolutely delighted with them. The digi papers are by Crafty Chaos Design the set I have used is called 'Cafe Creme' I have only used three papers out of the set for my card. I love Butterfly's so used the butterfly paper as my base colour I ripped the paper and placed a piece of the pink flower paper underneath I have used a metallic rubbon on the edges of the torn paper then finished off that part of the card by placing an off cut of lace. On the left hand side of the card I have placed little pearls on some of the butterfly's. I cut an oval shape from contrasting card, distressed the edge of the card before cutting a smaller oval from another of the papers from the Cafe Creme paper set and printed the sentiment on my PC, finished off by adding butterfly's punched from the same contrasting card. To finish I added ribbon a button, wiped some brown ink and doodled gold stitches around the edge of the base card.
You can purchase Crafty Chaos Design digi papers from STITCHY BEAR STAMPS and for even better value for your money there is currently 30% off sale in the shop.  Next week in the Stitchy Bear Stamps shop there will also be the introduction of some new creators so keep looking in to find out who they are!

Thank you for taking the time to visit my wee blog I hope you will pop over to One Stitch at a Time challenge blog and have a look at what all the rest of the Team B DT have created, there is plenty of inspiration there!

Beautiful. That ribbon's fantastic too - it looks so elegantly and casually placed yet I bet it took ages to get it looking 'just so'. The papers are gorgeous too, and you've shown them off beautifully.
