This is my DT card for All Dressed Up
Stamps and features an adorable digi from “New Release Inspiration”
Day for one of artist Wendy Burns' latest creations. I love this fun digi named “Splash” and after printing and fussy-cutting the beautiful mermaid and her little turtle friends, I brought them to life with markers, and a white gel pen. They were next placed into a beachy scene created with an upcycled calendar page for the background (sky, water, and dark stretch of sand), and torn tan
parchment paper with a bit of shading and highlighting added with markers and gel pen, provided the sandy stretch of beach in the foreground. The final touches were adding some bling with dark teal gems and Stickles.

I made this card
for a grandniece graduating from High School this week. Sig is an outgoing,
talented, free-spirit, so I think she will like this card, especially if she
notices that I colored the little beauty’s hair to match hers- shining, long, and
multi-colored (brown in front, blond cascading down her back). She also likes
dangly earrings with bling/gems. Looking closely, you can see one
sparkling from her exposed ear! Lastly, she will surely like the check we
enclosed… although she might not know what a check is?!!!

My final card is a fun
birthday card featuring a digi from Di’s Digis, which was provided as a freebie
on Di’s FB page after she reached 3000 followers in May 2019! The colors on my
card were inspired by the small scrap of an upcycled wedding card with light
blue and light green circles. The scrap
also includes gold “sequins”. I fussy-cut several of them to embellish the
card, then went all out with the bling factor- adding a holographic gold frame
beneath the light blue frame, plus a sprinkling of gold stars on the front and
inside of the card. Yippee!
