A NEW CHALLENGE AT JACKSONS DIGITAL EXPRESSIONS, - SPONSORED BY BUGABOO STAMPS

This is a pleasure to post for me this morning ...

a merger of two of my favourite artists 
a collaboration

which means I really don't know whose hat I am wearing - but here goes...

This week's challenge at JACKSON'S DIGITAL EXPRESSIONS is to use three colours on your creation :

orange
brown
teal

and the good news is that BUGABOO STAMPS is sponsoring the prize.

Here is my card to inspire you, using an image from Bugaboo stamps called : Tall Birthday Cake available in the Bugaboo Stamps store


  I coloured the image using alcohol markers and a white gel pen, and added Glossy Accents too:


The image was printed onto white CS, and matted on teal CS, and I used a round MS punch to punch through both layers so that the DP was visible through the hole.An orange button was stuck in the hole:




To make up this card I used the following from my stash:
white CS for the card base
autumn leaves print DP
teal CS for the mats
teal satin ribbon and bow
three teal roses

Click HERE to link to the challenge ... and your entry could win you one of the fabulous prizes available, one of which is a digi pack of images from Bugaboo Stamps!

I can't wait to see YOUR entry!

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

ABC1, ‘NEW TO YOU’ – my ‘new’ is the trio of teal roses that I bought to go with this card
ONE STITCH AT A TIME, #136, ‘USE A DIGI’
