Make it Crafty DT Call

Good Evening,

Well I have been a fan of Make It Crafty Digi Stamps for a long time

 and as you  may know recently I took part in a really special new release

 with some MIC fans on Facebook and we got to color up some fab images

 from the new Alice and Wonderland Collection. 

 I had so much fun taking part in the release and now

 MIC are having a DT call and I just knew I had to enter. 

So here is my card I have used a fab digi stamp called Frenchie Leon

 and I have had him in my digi stamp collection for quite awhile 

and never seemed to get round to coloring him up

 so what better time to print him out and get him colored up :) 

The colors I used aren't colors that I would have thought of using but I had just bought some new paper pads from DCWV and when I saw this one I knew I wanted to use it.

Make it Crafty Tea Party!!!

Good Morning  everyone, 

Well here we go I am so excited to share my news with you all

 I have been dying to tell you but we had to keep it a secret. 

Get comfy and grab a cuppa and some biscuits lol and get ready for some fun!!!

Here We Go!!

Welcome to the very special Make it Crafty Tea Party!

Today, I'm joining the fun 

with a collection of Make it Crafty fans from around the world,

serving you a delicious array of crafty delights

 to celebrate not only the magical release of ‘Alice in Wonderland’

but also Make it Crafty’s THIRD Birthday!!

What better way to celebrate than a tea party full of Make it Crafty fans?

As you chase the white rabbit down holes, 

through small doors, 

around corners and more…

keep your eye out for hidden letters, 

collecting them along the way.

Simply decipher the ‘question’ and then enter the answer at the end of the hop

 for a chance to win the grand prize!

It wouldn't be a fun tea party without hidden prizes along the way,

so make sure you comment

 as you chase the rabbit for a chance to win more prizes!

------------------------------------------------------------------

Hopefully you've found your way through the door from Zoe,

but if you've just fallen down the hole then you might want to start back at Zoe.

------------------------------------------------------------------

The guests were given the option to play with 6 images from the new collection

 and I chose to get creative with two images...

Sweet Alice and Alice & Rabbit 

This is Sweet Alice 

I chose to make a scene with her and have teamed her up with  

one of the Make it Crafty digi stamps which I had bought a while ago

 and shame to say not got round to using it yet so this was the perfect opportunity

and that stamp is called  Cobblestone Path 

This is also the 1st time I have done a sky background 

and I think it came out ok ? What do you think ? 

I have used Copics as my coloring medium and here is the list of colors I used 

B00, BG000, B02,  B24, B23 ,B28, G21, G99, YG63 ,0,

C-7,C-5,C-3,C-1 ,B60, E21, E29 ,E25, W-0, W-1, Y28, R20, Y35, Y06, Y08,

BV08, E000, E50, Y21, E53, Y38

I chose not to use any Background Papers as I wanted the focus of this card

 to be on the gorgeous digi stamp

so my base card and blue card is from the Papermill

 and I have used a Martha Stewart Border Punch to give a little bit of embellishment. 

For my 2nd card I chose to use Alice & White Rabbit 

I have used Copics again here is the list

E57, E51, YR02, YR04, C-0, C-1, C-2, C-3, C-5, C-7, W-0, W-1, W-2, W-3, 

B00, B02, B05, R11, E000, E02, E53, E50

My backing card, Blue card and Brown card are from the Papermill,

Background Paper is by Starlight Design Blok 5

Ribbon is from my stash and I have made the Chocolate Box Bow 

The pearl brad in the middle of the bow is from Papermania

The Corner Flourishes and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts

The Butterfly and touches of glitter are from my Stash 

Here is a close up of the stamp you might be able to see the glitter more clearly 

The fun doesn't stop here and if you head through this door you’ll find your way to Sally

I have had so much fun with these two gorgeous images 

and can't wait to see all of the new release collection,

So what are you waiting for keep hopping
