PuddleJumper ~ Darla....Have a Great Day!


A card featuring a *new* PuddleJumper digi image called 'Darla'
from LORi Boyd Designs today :)

Love this new cutie with her wavy hair!!
I have coloured the image with promarkers and prismas and mounted it onto a couple of ovals cut with my Nellie Snellen dies, I have embossed the blue one for more dimension.


I have used the fab sketch #57 from Sketch & Stash for the layout....my new stash is the image :)

Lots of photos to share!!
I love my 'cute' stamps and this new range from Dovecraft is fab.....such a cute bear and gorgeous papers, ribbons/brads/decoupage/chipboard and die-cuts to match!!
I really enjoyed making the samples and colouring in the bears with my promarkers :)
I tried to make a few different things too, a double easel card, a shadow box card, corner bookmark and a wine tag!
Here are some more photos of my samples...
