DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY :: NEW RELEASES :: 'BUMBLEBEE WITH FRUIT'


It’s Sunday, and time for some more NEW RELEASES in the Digistamps for Joy store today!

The new releases are really varied today, and quite a number are definitely not in the ‘cute’ category.  Click HERE  to link to the blog to see all today’s new release and the gorgeous cards made with some of them!

 This CAS card features one of the new images called "BUMBLEBEEWITH FRUIT" which I coloured using alcohol markers and a white gel pen for the highlights.   

 Here is a better look at the image, (can you see the Glossy Accents on the watermelon slice?)
The only embellishments on this card are the two vintage buttons from my granny's button box (I have a large cake tin full of the most wonderful buttons!!!)  I have always thought that these buttons look like the outside of a watermelon, do you agree?

I would like to add this card to the following challenges:

 
ATC’s & CARDS WITH ATTITUDE, ‘ANYTHING GOES
CARD CRAFTER’S CIRCLE, #33, ‘CAS’
PHINDY’S PLACE, #114, ‘BUTTON IT’
CRAFTYCREATIONS, #180, ‘BUTTON IT’

    What a totally delightful card. I so like the way the buttons mimic the melon. Perfect addition to an adorable image. Wonderfully done! Thank you for entering this in the challenge at Card Crafter's Circle.

    I think it is hard to find buttons like you did and then to add the ribbon was clever! Thank you for sharing with us at Card Crafter's Circle!!
