Daydreaming.....

Here is another card I created, using an image from
"Maisy Modern and Kaboodle on Swing"

(Click on any image for a larger view)

When I first saw this digi, I could already visualize a finished creation - I knew exactly how I wanted to showcase "Maisy Modern and Kaboodle on Swing."

I coloured the image with pencil and ink, then added Stickles "Star Dust," and Stampin' Up! Crystal Effects for just a bit of bling.  For the swing handles, I added twine.

I chose not to use any designer paper for this card. Instead, I created my own background. For the clouds, I created a stencil by cutting cloud shapes out of some scrap paper, then applied ink using a sponge dauber. I did the same for the grass.

Most of the flowers are handmade, with just a touch of Stickles “Diamond”. However, the white roses are from ZVA creations. I removed the bottom petals of the roses to make them look a little more like rosebuds, then sponged on a little tint to go with the colour scheme.

I used A Stampin' Up! Sizzix emblosslit "Beautiful Wings" for the butterflies, and added a little color to the edges with distress ink in Antique Linen. I finished off the butterflies with pearls by ZVA creations.

For dimension, I "popped" the image with foam squares, and mounted the coloured image on a cloud background sponged onto white cardstock. Then, I created a "shadow box" frame for the front of the card.









Here is a view of the inside of this card:







I repeated the background scheme for the inside of the card, and made my own sentiments using Microsoft Word (umm... is that cheating? LOL) 

I loved this digi image so much, I wanted something similar for the inside. I altered the digi image just a smidgen, so that Kaboodle the cat was moved up a bit.  This is the great thing about digis - you can duplicate, layer, alter the images, combine with other digis and more! 

I am so pleased with how this card came out... I'm hooked on Di's digi's, and I already have another project I'm working on!  Stay tuned for more sweet images featuring Di's Digi Downloads
