Listen to the Birds .....

I've treated myself to another of the D'Arcy's Diaries digi stamps - one of the latest releases called 'Listen to the Birds' - isn't it gorgeous?  I decided to do something a bit more vintage with this card and used one of the new kraft card blanks I bought a few weekends back when I went to the Samuel Taylor shop in Skipton.

The background paper I've used is from Kanban and I've added some lace, four paper flowers and Card Candi.  For the background to the digi stamp I've used Adirondack Hazelnut to add some extra colour.

Pearls and Lace

This is a card I made this afternoon using another gorgeous digi image from D'Arcy's Diaries - this one is called 'Dog Walkies'.  The paper is from Nitwits and is part of a pack that was free on a magazine - it's a really pretty pattern and a nice small scale too.  

I've added some lace and then a thin brown ribbon across the middle of the lace with some self adhesive pearls across the top.  The sentiment ticket is from Tim Holtz and I've finished the card with a paper flower shaded lightly with brown ink and another self adhesive pearl.

I'd like to enter the card in the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp - 'anything goes'

Ponder a Moment .....

While I was blog browsing recently I came across a digi-stamp site called D'Arcy's Diaries and couldn't resist buying a couple of them!

Here's my first card made with one of the images which is called 'Ponder a Moment'.  I've used some Making Memories paper, a bit of lace and one of the Tim Holtz ticket sentiments plus a paper flower and some Card Candi.
