Spring Garden

     Today it's my day to post a DT project to the Digi Doodle Studios Facebook page where the theme is Always Anything Goes and you must use a DDS image.  In addition, there's a challenge on the Digi Doodles Challenge Blog. The theme on the blog is "Spring/Easter" but since Easter was this past weekend, I'm celebrating Spring with this card.

     The image was originally intended to be an autumn stamp and it's called "Sunflower Dreams" but I found it to be a perfect image for spring when I colored it in spring colors.

     Note that I much prefer coloring people to coloring animals, even though I use a lot of animal stamps.  Why people?  Because I love coloring hair so much more than coloring fur and there is an endless variety of hair styles compared to 'fur styles.'  lol


Colored with ProMarkers and water colors
Cut with die from Spellbinders
Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon
Double bow; hand-tied using sheer ribbon

     Challenges:
As You Like It
Colour Crazy
C.R.A.F.T.
Crafty Catz
Creative Inspirations
Cute Card Thurs
Paper Funday
Polkadoodles
Time Out
WordArt Weds

     I hope we're going to see you playing along in one challenge or the other this month.  There's no requirement for using a Digi Doodle Studios stamp in the blog challenge but there is in the FB challenge.  Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie

Well, this card had me smiling the moment I saw it!! The little girl image is darling and you've coloured her so well, especially her hair. Love the layout of the design over to the side and the perfectly done bow is such a sweet embellishment. So very glad you shared this with us at TIME OUT and please stay safe!
