DU2DS,WEEK 4....."THINGS WITH WINGS".

Week 4 at DU2DS and the challenge this week is "Things with Wings",now this could cover a multitude of things....images,papers,charms as long as there's something on your project with wings and of coarse there must be one digital image (this can be any companies image).

For my DT card i've gone with one of Sandra's (Sandra Dry Digi Images)fairy images "Rosabella Wish"coloured with Promarkers and Prisma's with alittle glamour dust added to her wings,every fairy needs some sparkle...lol,she's been cut out using nesties and mounted onto 3d dimensional tape to raise it slightly from the base card.

The papers are abit of a mixture the patterned paper is a free download from Summer Driggs "Sweet Spring Time" and the rest are Basic Grey "Sultry" and "Sugared".

I've made a trailing rose effect over and around Rosabella by punching some leaves out of the same BG paper using my Leone Em "Ash Branch" punch and then added afew tiny paper roses i'm really pleased with how this as turned out it sort of brings the backing paper to life a continuation shall we say.

The sentiment is Whiff Of Joy from the "Fairy Useful Sayings",the gem in her hair is a nail art gem these are brilliant sometimes the adhesive gems are alittle too large and the ribbon from stash.

I must say i'm "fairly"(pardon the pun) pleased with how this as turned out and hope you like it too :0).look forward to seeing all your fabby creations this week so please come and join us,thanks to everyone for your support last week we had some amazing cards hope to see you all again this week.

Have a lovely day everyone

I've used a Rachelle Anne Miller stamp for my card,and have decided i will stick to using just Stampavie stamps for this challenge...as the title says you can use others now,but to be honest in a way it is much easier to stick with one make of stamps,the only decision is which image then.

STAMP:- Rachelle Anne Miller "Jump into my pouch".

FLOWERS :- Xcut punch.

EVERYTHING ELSE :- Ribbon,buttons and glamour dust from stash.

Well that's about it folks...hope you all have a lovely day,the sun's shinning here again this morning,hope it is where you are
