Dies to Die For - My First Post

Hello Again Everyone

Two posts in one day eh - check me out!


Well here it is - my very first post for the Dies to Die For Blog and just in case you didn't know they have a Monthly Challenge Blog too where you can win a whopping £25 to spend in the shop (so generous) - click HERE if you want to go and play.  The challenge is easy this month - Anything Goes With a Die - so you have no excuse to pop on over and get your entry in.  There are a few simple rules for you to follow which are:

RULES:

And that's it - it's definitely worth a go and there are some absolutely stunning goodies to get your hands on in the Dies to Die For Shop.

So onto the card I have made for this week:



Ain't she a cutie.

The recipe for the card is as follows:

Stamp:  Mo Manning Soaking Up the Joy
Papers:  First Edition Spring Drop
Flowers:  Cheery Lynn Medium Rose and Miniature Rose
Vines:  Whimsy Shapeology Vines

The image has been coloured with Copics:

Hair:  E09 E08 E15
Dress:  RV32 RV11 RV00
Dolls Skin:  E30 E000 E0000
Dolls Dress:  E97 E95 E02
Dolls Hair:  C8 C6
Flowers:  RV95 RV93 RV91 / RV32 RV11 RV00 / E97 E95 E02 / YR23
Leaves:  G46 G43

I have distressed everything to within an inch of it's life and then edged it all in Vintage Photo Distress Ink including the roses where I then added some Stardust Stickles

Here is one final picture of the inside of the card:


And there you have it.

Sorry if I've gone on a little bit and I hope you have managed to stay with me until the end of this post.

I hope you all enjoy the rest of the weekend and a huge 'THANK YOU' for stopping by and having a look.
