SHOPPING


Good morning and welcome to my blog.  Today I'm featuring a card for my DT post for Digichoosday.  Our theme this fortnight was shopping.  Either you love shopping, or if you're anything like me, you shop because you have to.  As there is a difference between a need and a want.  That's what worries me today in a throwaway society, where items don't last like they used to. 

A quick peak of the inside of the card.

Challenges I'm Entering:
TOP ROCKER AWARD
I'M A RISING STAR AWARD
9. As You Like It Challenge Favourite Colours: Pink, Teal, Blue & Purple *
These are my happy colours, they make me smile. 
Paper and card are used, and scissors for the smaller jobs.
 Favourite Tools are cutting dies.
Unused cutting dies, which I love.

Card Recipe:
1. Base: White French Linen card stock.
2. Coloured Card: American Craft colour Pool
3. Design Paper: Spring Into Easter Set 3 by Polkadoodles.
4. Image: Sunshine Delight Shopping Bliss by Polkadoodles.

5. Sentiment: Happy Birthday by Polkadoodles


6. Colour Medium: Copic Ciao
 
7. Embellishments: Assorted coloured gems from my stash.

8 Tools Used:


9: Dies Used: My favourite Things Rectangle Stitches dies.
10. Inside & the back of the card.
 

Wishing everyone a wonderful week of crafting.
