I'm in the Crafty Catz DT!!!!



Morning!!! I hope you are all well....
Where has the week gone???? I remember Sunday... and suddenly it's Friday!!!  this week I've taken it a bit easy on my blog... Some weeks I can't stop making cards and blogging about them..., but sometimes I need some rest, and this week I really needed it!

Anyway... do you remember last Friday, when I posted my last card as GDT for the Crafty Catz Challenge???? well.. they asked me to stay and be part of their fantastic Designing team! They are a fantastic bunch of crafters... so talented! I'm really glad I'm part of the team! Thank you so much for having me!!!



So, as every Friday, we have a new challenge at 


This week's challenge is hosted by Janette and the theme is

Spring time!!!!


Our sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps

and the price is 7 images of the winner's choice!!!

and Crafty Ribbons



So, after reading about my card, hop over to Crafty Catz and join us in the challenge!!! my fellow DTs have beautiful cards for inspiration.. and don't forget to check out the new GDT for April, Teresa


and this is my DT card!



The image is called Girlz - Bare feet from this week's sponsor Bugaboo, which they kindly donated.

As the theme is Spring time, I wanted to use some pretty floral papers, so I chose these ones from Crate Paper Little Bo Peep paper pad. I really loved the bright turquoise, pink and yellow colour on the flowers, so I decided for that colour scheme for my card. 
The turquoise dots paper is a piece of scrap... I think it was from a magazine freebie... 

All the papers have been distressed with Tim Holtz Distress Tool and Tim Holtz Distress Ink pad in Old paper. I also hand-stitched around two of the layers with white thread.



For this card I chose a layout from Sketch #261 from Sketch Saturday Challenge. 






I coloured the image with my Promarkers.

I used: Tan, Almond, Satin, Turquoise, Duck Egg, Vanilla, Blossom and Antique Pink and blender pen.

Then I masked the image and inked around it with a yellow ink pad... I love the effect! it makes the image stand out a lot more!











Next to the image, I used the Doily border die from Sizzix, which I also distressed with Tim Holtz Old paper.

To follow the sketch, I used two types of washi tape and a button on the top right corner.

The lace and flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
The pearls are from Hobbycraft.
The brads (in middle of flowers), ribbon and bow are from my stash, from local shops.

I created the sentiment on my computer and I cut it with a tag die, which was a freebie from a magazine last summer.

I would also like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Alphabet Challenge - "D" for diecuts  (Sizzix border doily die cut and tag die cut)
Incy Wincy challenge - Tic Tac Toe (my line is: yellow, pearls, lace)
The Craft Garden - April: Recipe (ribbon, ink or mist -inked around image-, floral patterned paper)
Use your stuff #129 -  Die cuts (Sizzix border doily die cut and tag die cut)


I really hope you like my first card as DT for Crafty Catz!!! 
great challenge so don't forget to join!
