Digi Doodle Shop's Best Challenge #2

Only a week ago we celebrated the grand opening of Digi Doodle Shop. I hope you get to join their first challenge. If not, you can join us for challenge # 2. You can find all the details for this challenge by going to Digi Doodle Shop's Best Challenge blog.

This week the challenge is to create card with different folding. If you have followed me for a while, you know I love making easel card. So, that's what I made. I love this sweet Digi Doodle Shop's mail box image. You can get this stamp here


For the background, I turned to my Silhouette machine. Don't you love that cloud?? I've been wanting to use this Hero Arts cloud image and  this is just perfect. And, I love the fact that I can use the inside of the die-cut for extra dimension. To create the soft background, I used chalks in 2 different shades of aqua blue. The little extra puff on the cloud is created by using Liquid Applique.


Don't forget to check out all the other blog by our DT. Their links on the left side of my blog. Let me know what you think and join us for the fun challenge!! Hugs, Vera.
