Digi Doodle Shop

$10 gift Certificate for the store

For this challenge I chose a fabulous digi stamp called "Let's Do Lunch" from one of our new sponsors Digi Doodle Shop.

I paper pieced the piggies and their trough and the rest of the image was coloured in using Promarkers.  The corner of the card was stamped with a La Blanche foam stamp and embossed in bright gold embossing powder and I popped a few lime green gems to give a little extra highlight.  The sentiment was attached with a plaited length of plain old garden twine which I made into a tassel.  The inside of the card reads "It's your birthday, so you're allowed to pig out!"  It was made with a dieting friend in mind,  I sure hope she's not offended!

It's quite a challenge to create a card without using any floral embellishments, and we would love to see how you all get along, so get creating and give it a whirl!  If you are in need of inspiration check out the rest of the DT ideas.  You can find links to their blogs over on the right hand side of the page.

Love,

Beth. xxx
