Hello everyone and happy Sunday to you all. I hope you are all enjoying your weekend so far.It's our 5th challenge at Dream Valley, and this fortnight the theme is EASTER. Nice and easy, so come and join in the fun. Our sponsor this time is Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps. and you can win a $10.00 voucher for their store. Many of the Design Team have used images from them on our cards this week.
This is my DT card: as you can see, my love affair with box cards continues, lol. I thought I'd be a bit more adventurous and adapted the design to make an octagonal window, which wasn't as tricky as it looks. The image you can see inside it is one from our sponsor, Stitchy Bear; it's called Easter Lillie with Tulips and the designer is Lexis Creations. If you are very sharp-eyed, you might notice that the poor creature's feet have been paper-pieced on! I made such a mess of them first time round, but I liked everything else on the colouring so didn't want to start again.
