DDC #9 Thinking Of You

Good Morning! Here we are with a new week and a new challenge!
We have a sponsor this week and it is Floppy Latte Designs. They
generously gave the DT a few images to work with
(THANK YOU!!) and I chose this one:
 "Three Butterflies"
 I colored it up with prisma colored pencils, then cut it out with
 Round scalloped spellbinders. The DP I used on this one is from
 DCWV "the Blossoms & Butterflies stack" I found this really cool Sketch
 but their challenge has ended, but I still wanted to do this one!
I added a butterfly by K &Co and some pearls that I got from Michaels

and Next i have for you my Digi Darla image....

this image "Rose of The Tropics" by Digi Darla, is sooo pretty, it was a New release last week! 
 I really love how this card came out! did some scalloped stiching at the bottom, and added a mini flower brad to the top of each scallop, Layered my image with spellbinders die and, I added a Martha Stewart Butterfly.


If you are interested in getting the NEW releases from Digi Darla's as
soon as they come out, consider a membership to the DSC and become
 a Savvy Sister, we would love to have you!!

I also have to share this photo I took of one of the roses in my yard,
I did not realize till I was looking at photos on the computer that I took that there
was a dew drop on the Rose...
I love spring time!!!


Thanks for stopping by!
God Bless

Digi Darla has gone Weekly!!!!
Welcome Back!
the DP is by Sassafras, and was given to me from Lisa, she was given
lots of goodies from a friend of ours and shared some with me! Thanks Lisa ((HUGGS))!
So back to my card...I needed a little mojo and decided to search the net to see
what I could find.
