The Design Team and myself look forward to seeing you there.




For my first project as a DT member, I used a digital stamp from That Craft Place, this week's sponsor.  She was really fun to color!  


Supplies:
Image: The Craft Place- "Betty Boots"
Photoshop
Recollections patterned paper
Silk Flowers
Brads
Studio G Ink
Celebrate It Ribbon
Silhouette Cameo
Pop Dots
Gel Pen
  1. Color the digi stamp (for this project, the image was colored using the Photoshop program)
  2. Print and cut the image using a cutting machine (for this project, the Silhouette Cameo was used)
  3.  Ink the edges of the stamp and add several polka dots using a gel pen to take away the stark white appearance.  (click on photo to enlarge and see the details)
  4. Tape the ribbon to the background paper prior to adhering the paper to the card.  This will create a clean look on the inside of the card.
  5. Put a brad through the flowers.  
  6. Ink the edges of the white flowers to add a pop of color to the flowers. 
  7. Poke a hole in the card to attach the flowers.
I hope you enjoyed my first post as a DT member of Through the Craft Room Door.  I encourage you to head over to our blog to see what all the other DT members have created for you today.  These cards will inspire you.  While you are there consider joining our challenge.  This week's prize is three images from That Craft Place!
