Hello everyone. This is quite an exciting Sunday, as it's the very first challenge over at Melly's new blog, Dream Valley Challenges, where myself and the other girls are showing our first DT cards!! This week it's a nice, easy challenge for you all to whet your appetites and get started: Anything Goes. Which means that whatever you are working on right now will surely fit the bill, so why not enter?
The challenges will be fortnightly, every other Sunday, but this first challenge will run for ONE WEEK to get us all started. I hope you'll join in, it'll be fun and you never know you might win a prize.
Speaking of prizes, Melly herself is providing them this week, and there are definitely worth winning!
Anyway, on to my DT card. I used a freebie digi image from Digital Two For Tuesday, coloured in copics as usual, and just went to town with the flowers and lots of glitter, with some punched leaves amongst the flowers. I also added punched borders down the left side, 3 layers of them. It seemed a nice idea to use some fresh spring colours of yellow, green and blue as they suited the image. Sorry about the photos, it's really hard to get decent light levels so they are a bit grainy.
