Whimsy Challenge DT Card

Good morning everyone and hope that you’re keeping well. Today I’d like to share with you a card that I’ve made for the Whimsy Challenge where the theme this month is Stitching – faux or real (and as I’m typing this I’ve just realised that I didn’t add any faux stitching – oops)

For my card I’ve used the gorgeous "Skippydee and Indiana" from the Little Cottage Cuties Collection illustrated by Elisabeth Bell for Whimsy Stamps and I’ve coloured it using promarkers, flexmakers and aquamarkers.

Designer Grunge Front Sheet

The DP is called ‘Designer Grunge’ which has been designed by me for Whimsy Stamps and I’ve inked the edges using distress inks.

I didn’t have time to make flowers for this card so I used some from Wild Orchid Crafts and I’ve also used the Lace Doily Border 1 Die designed by Raindrop Echo Designs for Whimsy Stamps.

Thanks for stopping by today :0)
