Use a Digi at Whoopsi Daisy

This week theme at Whoopsi Daisy is Use a Digi or Anything goes with a Whoopsi Daisy Image.
I havent made much for a week or two as i ran out of my doubles sided tape and it took about 3 weeks to get here from England and i was totally lost with out it.  But i think i am back on track again now so can enjoy my return to crafting.

This week i have used a Whoopsi Daisy image from sheet 343  which you can find Here and scrolling through all the Wonderful images for sale - there is even a weekly Freebie to try out and enter the weekly Challenge.
The image is coloured with Copics.
I made the background for this card using my Serif program that my daughter Claire bought me for my birthday .
The Digi embies i have used are by Jaelop (bird, toadstall,grass,hearts).  I'm not sure about the mouse and ribbon and bow but i will keep on looking.  The two diecuts i have used are by Cuttlebug the tag and Spellbinders shapeabilities.  I have also used my trusted stickles to add a bit of bling.

Hurry up - I'm Next!

I love this picture, the amount of times i had found the milk on the doorstep opened and we all knew who the culprit was. This was many years ago when milk was still delivered to your door and it was full fat too.  I love this decoupage and gives me a real wintery warm feeling .


The backing paper is made with Imagination Crafts stencil template 15cm x 15cm and i used Tim Holtz distress ink ( peeled paint).
The Decoupage is a Christmas Canvas
The Stand was made from a Joy crafts die.
I will add the Christmas greeting when i have decided who i will send it to then i can personalise it.

I made today's card just for something different really, it's a ready coloured image from Hobby House and i just thought it was so cute i had to have a play.  The weather for the past couple of days have been really wet and dull so ideal for making day..


I really felt like doing a pretty girly card and what better subject and colour could there be.

The image and sentiment are from a Hobby House sheet by Sylvia Zet.
