Nature!!

Good morning, my lovelies!  It's Thursday, which means it's time for another Digi Doodle Shop challenge.  Woot woot!  Bet you can't guess the theme....unless you read the title of the post, of course. LOL  It's..........nature!

I used the adorable Sliding Penguins, which can be found here.  I just love how joyful they look.  I colored the image with Copics and accented the snow with Stickles.  The paper is from DCWV, the snowflakes are from Martha Stewart (also accented with Stickles) and the sentiment is from Hero Arts.  Gems in the center of the snowflakes are from my stash.

Now you've seen my card, hop on over to the Digi Doodle Shop's Best challenge blog to check out the amazing creations by the rest of the team.

Remember, you don't have to use a Digi Doodle Shop stamp, but if you do it will be entered twice.  Also, you can enter as many times as you want...as long as it's with a new card/project each time.  PLUS.....for the whole month of December.....EVERYTHING is 25% off!!  Woo hoo!!  If there's an image (or two or three) you've been eyeing...now's the time to get it!

I am also entering this card into a few challenges:

A DT Call

There is a DT Call going on over at the Critter Sketch Challenge blog!  

Woo hoo! You know how much I love sketches!  =D  When I saw the DT Call, I just knew I had to apply.  On top of the DT Call, the Critters are having a wedding challenge, so I thought I would combine them.  I hope that's ok!!

I used a sketch provided by the Critters.  (I'd show you...but I think to see it you need to apply to the DT call!)  The image is from one of my favorite digi stores...you guessed it!  Tiddly Inks!  I just love this little couple.  It reminds me a lot of the Precious Moments statuettes everyone used to collect when I was a kid.  I colored the couple using Copics, then covered the veil with crystal Stickles.  I used a Spellbinders die for the background, edged with chalk ink in chestnut roan, and hand stitched to the background.  (I'm having so much fun with my stitching tools!!)  The background I embossed with a Stampin' Up folder...I just love this vintage wallpaper look.  The paper was actually a little bit bigger than the folder, so I had to emboss it twice.  Luckily I was able to line up the embossing on the sides.  The ribbon in the corners and the pearls are from Michael's Craft Stores, and the flowers are from a blog candy I won a few months back.

Well, thanks so much for stopping by!!  I'll be working on a number of things this weekend, so I'll be seeing you soon!  =D
