Dilly Beans Has the Blues



TGIF!!! It means a great new challenge at the Dilly Beans Designers and Challenge Blog. This week we all have the blues (well, maybe in my case the teals, LOL) Couldn't help myself. This Tim Holtz DP called to me and so did this sweet #188 Flower Girl. I printed her twice and colored her up with Copics.



Here's a close up of the sentiment done with Alpha Beads for the flower centers. Can't get enough of those things. She's fussy cut and glued to the darker mat and fussy cut again to make her stand out more.


The image is popped as well as every other flower to give this simple card some dimension. I love that it can be used for many occasions. My DT sisters have all sorts of inspiration for you so go have a look HERE and show them some love. And speaking of love, we sure love it when you play along so come on and show us your blue creations. The image doesn't have to be a Dilly Beans one, but it's so exciting to see what you do with Megan's adorable digis. And it just so happens that my dear friend Stephanie used a Dilly Beans Snowman for this week's Whimsical Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge and I will be linking up this card there as well.
