A Trio Of Sweet Digis

It’s Friday, so time for another challenge at QKR Stampede!  Stop by the challenge, which is always “Anything Goes” and several prizes are awarded. Maybe you’ll be inspired to enter a card or two yourself? My DT card features a cute digi images from Eureka Stamps and a sweet sentiment from QKR Stampede.  I love the sweet little puppy. Don’t you just want to scratch the top of his fuzzy little head?  I colored him with alcohol markers, adding some texture with the blender marker. I darkened his nose and added a few highlights with a white gel pen. I wanted to make it look like he was draped over a big wooden box. So I dug out some wood grain paper, cut it to size and attached the frame with staples to add a bit of realism. The final touch was to add some of my favorite embellies, puffy heart stickers.  I discovered these wonderful little gems last year at Walmart. (The pack contains 113 assorted puffy hearts for just 99 cents!)

I love this ladybug digi from Bugaboo, which I used for two current Bugaboo Challenges (Stella Says Sketch and BINGO: 3 layers, Bug image, Players Choice- I chose a B&W&Red color scheme.)  The front sentiment is from a wonderful Beccy’s Place digi set and the inside sentiment is from a yummy dig set from Imagine That! I trimmed the edge of a square paper lacy doily to create the pretty lacy trim, which allowed me to enter this card into the current Crash Your Stash Challenge at Outlawz.

My final card features an adorable snowman holding a sweet little birdie from a Beccy’s Place Digi Set. The large JOY sentiment is also from the digi set. I enlarged the sentiment  so that it would cover a large portion of an A2 card front, then printed it onto regular copy paper. I then attached the word to a scrap of snowflake paper and carefully cut it out before layering it onto black cardstock. After coloring the sweet snowman with alcohol markers, I fussy-cut the cutie and attached her to the front of the card with foam tape. After finishing the rest of the card and inside sentiment, I added the final touch… puffy heart stickers! (Okay, I have to fess up. I hadn’t planned to add the heart stickers. However, when I was coloring the little snowmiss, I discovered that a smudge of yellow ink on the paper I was using to protect my table had bled through her snowy white body. The result? It looked like a dog had… um… relieved himself on her! Ewwww! There was no way to remove the small yellow stain and I’d already done all the coloring on the image so I didn’t want to throw it away. My solution was to cover the stain with my favorite little puffy hearts. Easy peasy!)
