DT DigiBells: February Flutter

Today I'm showcasing a card using February Flutter and it's available in Elisabeth Bell's digital gallery. It's one of my fav images as it always blows me away how mythical and magical it is. 

Here is a close up on the image. I have colored using Copic Markers and added lots of Stickles to the wings. 

I added a few flowers and die cuts to embellish but kept it quite simple to show off the lovely papers from Kaisercraft.

I just had to use these lovely corner dies from Cuttlebug.... They worked so well with the papers.

When I get to use this card I will add the name and age of the recipient. My boys goes to birthday parties all the time so can never have to few of these random cards that easily can be personalized. 

Have a magical day!

DT Whiff of Joy: Sailor Henry!

Today I have a card to share with you with one of the latest digi releases from the Whiff of Joy shop. This card made itself into a clean and simple card... did not intend for that but these gorgeous papers by Michele Roos just was to lovely to cover up with embellishments and they look amazing with little sailor Henry don't they?

You can find Michele's papers in her Etsy Shop - they are digital and sooo easy to download and use. This is the link to her shop..

Here is a close up on Henry. Colored with Copic Markers. 

I normally never cut out my images but this time I felt the color of Henry's clothing perfecly matched the papers and I just wanted him to stand amongst the shells and star fish. 

Have a magical day and thank's for stopping by!

DT DigiBells: Little Friends...

Here is a picture of the embellishments. Flowers, chandaliers and an organza bow. 

Couldn't help but post this as well... A chrystal prisma made a rainbow on my card... :-D (only in the pic - not in reality).

The papers are from Maja Design and Magnolia. I used a frame for the image from Spellbinders.
