Fairymoon Crafts DT card

Another year has arrived and I wish you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2011.


                                                          I design for Fairymoon crafts
Over at the fabulous Fairymoon Crafts this week we have got the stunning prize of a set of Bearly Mine papers for the lucky winner of this sketch.   Do pop along and see what they have on offer as their papers are stunning - the DT very kindly got to use them in our interpretations this week.               

                                                    
For my card, I used one of the papers from Bearly Mine, a doily and a beautiful digi image from the very talented SJ Musings.
After using plain papers I had in my stash for matting and layering, I very lightly inked the edges of my image, the doily and the Bearly Mine DP.  The digi image is the very pretty 'Caroline' from SJ over at SJ Musings and she is coloured using my Promarkers (details below). The sentiment is computer generated and, once again, matted and layered in the pink and beige paper from my stash.
I added faux diamonds(!!) and handmade (by me) flowers. The close-up below shows just how pretty 'Caroline' is - sitting there on her bunting.


Ingredients:~
Backing paper  ~  Bearly Mine;
Plain papers ~ stash;
Digi Image ~ 'Caroline' from SJ Musings coloured with PMs-
Blush, Ivory, Sandstone, Col Grey 2, Satin, Caramel, Pastel Pink & Dusky Pink;
Edges inked with Whispers Archival Ink in Chestnut;
Gems and doily from stash.
