Critter Crazy challenge 116 DT

  Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today. This is my second DT po#st of the day and I am here to share my project for the latest challenge over at Critter Crazy Challenge where anything with a Critter can be used. I am back to a card this month.

My sister-in-law asked me to make a birthday card for her neighbours little boy and I thought that this Patchwork Hot Air Balloon stamp from Lili of The Valley would fit the bill, it was coloured with alcohol markers. I also used ppaers from Nitwits/LOTV, they are from the Up, Up and Away pad.

The sentiment is from Clear Stamp Boutique (part of the much missed Digistamp Boutique) and the letters and number were cut with dies from Julie Hickey Designs.

The circle dies are Creative Expressions and Spellbinders.

  Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today. I am here to share my DT card for the November challenge number 118 over at Do-Al(l)-Kreatives where the theme this month is triple stamping or if you prefer there is always the anything goes option.

Here is my card

I used the Christmas Joy Stamp from Julie Hickey Designs which I coloured with alcohol markers. Julie retired yesterday and whilst she will still be going live on Facebook she will no longer be producing her brand of stamps which are among the best quality in the craft industry. 

Sequins are from a Papercraft Society box and the green mirror card was from Crafters Companion.
