Hi everyone, a card today for the Cuttlebug Challenge where this week the challenge is to make a simple white card. I couldn't quite manage to make it completely white I'm afraid and luckily some of the DT cards have colour in them so hopefully this will qualify. I've used one of my own designs entitled 'Rosebuds' soon to be available as a digi-stamp from my download site which will be opening soon. The image is marker coloured cut and embossed with a large oval nestie and layered on a scalloped nestie cut from Lilac Bazzil card. I've mounted the image on dimension tape over the cuttlebug embossed panels, I think it looks a bit like a cake which is quite nice as it's for a birthday. The panels and card blank have been sponged on the edges with Milled Lavendar distress ink and to decorate I punched some butterflies, embossed them with the swiss dots folder, sponged and stickled. Added the ribbon and gems to finish. TFL.
Materials:
Paper: White and Lilac Bazzil card
Stamp: Sketching stamper digi-stamp
Colouring: Promarkers
Embellishment: Cuttlebug embossing folders, swirls and swiss dots, stardust stickles, pm gems, lilac satin ribbon, Milled lavender distress ink, sponges

Beautiful card Chris, I love the pale blue against the white, for some strange reason it reminds me of the wedgewood my Nan used to collect lol! Your image is so beautifully coloured and the flowers look real :) Donna x
