OSAAT DT CARD - CHALLENGE NO 182 - USE A DIGI

Good morning favourite peeps and blogsters, I have just had to re-do the beginning of my original post 'cos I have made a huuuuge boo-boo.  You know those senior moments that we get from time to time or in my case all the time - lol - well I have just had another one.  This is my card for the DT of OSAAT (One Stitch at a Time) Challenge no 182.  I had posted it on their Admin site and had scheduled it to arrive on my blog last Sunday, I was commenting on the challenge entries and suddenly had one of those light-bulb moments!!  Why was my card not on my blog???  After several minutes of head scratching and pondering ... it came to me - duh!  - I had scheduled it to arrive NEXT month.  Boy oh boy this new fur baby has such a lot to answer for - well, I have to blame someone!!  Now back to my original post!

This is my next card for the OSAAT DT.  I received the digi to play with and came up with this card really quickly.  I knew that it only needed a sentiment in the middle because the corner is really detailed.  I faffed about moved the image in Paint Shop Pro - you know what I mean, did the mirror image thing, turned it upside down etc - just so that each corner was just so.  I could have just printed four off but my OCD took over and I couldn't do it!  OCD is a strange thing but fortunately mine is quite minimal compared to some - I am fortunate!  Sorry I am orf on one - back to the card.  I coloured all the corners with Copics/Promarkers and then 'deecouparged' the poinsettia flowers to give some depth to the finished card.  The construction was just a matter of matting and layering really,  I printed the sentiment from my laptop after I found this lovely font.  It wasn't really lost, I just hadn't noticed it before!!! lol.

 Ingredients

7" x 7"  Card Blank - Anna Marie Designs

That Special Touch Mask - Fretwork

Spellbinders - Gold Circles One

White Coconut card

Burgundy Card from stash (oooold scrap)

Copics/Promarkers

Stardust Stickles

Glossy Accents

Gems from my stash

 

I 'fussy' cut the corners out and I think these took most of the time to be honest!  Blimey talk about nooks and crannies, I found every one!  I am quite pleased with the overall result though and that is something for me!

 

Please enter the challenge if you can, the theme is 'Anything Goes', as usual, and the prize (if you use a Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet image) is all of the digis that the DT used in Challenge No 180!!!  It is definitely worth a try 'cos there is a prize even if you don't use an SBO digi - ta da!!

 

I would love you to leave a comment if you have the time, but I am also chuffed if you only have time to have a squiz at my blog.

 

Big hugs to you all out there and please try and keep well.
