 My DT card:

I used one part of the Lil Cowgirl and Cowboy set by Lil Diva Stamps that can be found here. My grandfather's birthday is coming up.  This will be a perfect card for him.  He loves cowboys and westerns. I colored him with my promarkers. The sentiment was stamped from a clear stamp set from fiskars.  The embellishments are all 3D stickers that are decoupaged. I love 3D stickers.  All the papers are from my stash.  I used circle and scalloped circle dies on the image. Card layout was inspired by the sketch at Creative Card Crew and Seems a little sketchy.   I will  have to get a box to mail out this card.  All the extra bling makes it hard to fit in an envelope safely.

Sponsors

The Doodle Garden

Papernest Dolls
Offering aprize of $25 to spend in shop

My DT card:

How adorable is this image from Doodle Garden?  I colored her with my promarkers and fussy cut the image.  I used a frame die cut to mat the image on.  This is my first ever gate fold card.  I don't have a scoreboard yet so this was a bit tricky for me to make.  Hopefully I will get one for my birthday! Anyway, I think it turned out pretty nice for my first time.  I added some yellow glitter to her body. You can't really see it very well in photo. The papers are from my stash.  I added some flowers and gemstones.  I stamped the inside with a birthday sentiment on the inside from a clear set of stamps by Fiskars.  Next time  I think I will add some panels on the inside as well to make it more decorative.

Inside look:
