Spotty Dotty

Hi everyone! So glad you could all join me in my 1st 'official' post as a member of the D2D team!! Faith's image this week is "Spotty Dotty Watering Can". Not sure about you - but I can't wait for all the wonderful flowers spring & summer have in store for us. I am always wanting to try new things and I am learning ALOT from these amazing girls I am working with on this team. For instance - my card this week is called a Zig-Zag card. I found this tutorial on fellow DT member Kristine's blog http://inksomething2.blogspot.com/search/label/TUTORIALS. I just had to try it out! It was actually super easy to do and quite fun. In sticking with the flower theme, my BG paper is done in flowers, and I added some flower embellishments as well. I ran a piece of color core paper thru my Cuttlebug and then sanded it to make the texture pop. It may be hard to tell, but I painted the edge border w/some CI paints to make it shimmer. I colored in the image w/my ProMarkers and made my 'own' blue BG paper behind the image by sponging 2 shades of blue together. And finished it off with a nice sentiment. I hope you will check out Kris' blog and try this Zig Zag card sometime. See you for the next challenge!
