Die cut dreams GDT spot!!!
Hiya everyone,
I was very lucky to have won the challenge at Die Cut Dreams Challenge Blog just over a week ago and I won a guest DT spot for today’s challenge which is “animal antics”.
It didn’t take me long to decide to use one of my house mouse stamps (available from Joanna Sheen) that I have never used as I often don’t get chance to just have a play. I coloured my image with my promarkers and I added a little glossy accents to the nose as I think it makes such a big difference! The papers are from a 6x6 paperstack that came free with a magazine. Inside my card it says "cos it's your birthday!"
I really enjoyed making this card as it made a change to just make something for me if that makes sense.
I have recently taken part in another card kit swop which I will share with you in the next few days. If you’re not quite sure what this entails be sure to pop back as it’s should be interesting!
