{DT Project Tammy's Scrapin Corner: Challenge #22}
My niece, Liesl is getting married to her sweetheart Mario this coming Saturday. They are getting married in a forest near the Kruger National Park (South Africa). Yours truly will be the official wedding photographer. Its a public holiday (Women's Day) this Thursday, here in South Africa and we will be leaving on the holiday (about 5 hours drive from our home), to check into a chalet and Thanda Nani Private Game Reserve for the long weekend and of course for the exciting unusual wedding ceremony.
This week our theme for Challenge #21 at Tammy's Scrapin Corner is a Show Us Your Bling. I used a Bugaboo digi image called Bugaboo Digi Stamps. You can find it here.
Once again using my favourite step card technique (you must be getting a bored with my step cards - bit of a one-trick pony I am), and this is what I created. . The design papers were from FabScraps.
For the second time only, I tried my hand at paper piecing (... not yet a one-trick pony ... ha ha ha) and paper pieced the red flowers on the image. Printed the image once on white cardstock and then a second time on red cardstock. Then I cut out the flower sections from the red cardstock and mounted them with foam tape on top of the printed image on the white cardstock.
Hope you like and will all play along this week and we cant wait to see what you create with our Show Us Your Bling theme. So hop on over to Tammy's Scrapin Corner and link your creation to Challenge #22.

Hello Desire :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you on 6 years in blogland! Your cards are always such an inspiration and I just have to say that the colors and fold of this one are spectacular. Just bold enough and still so very dainty and completely striking in appearance. The layering of your flowers really stands out and the bits of bling are perfectly placed. A very gorgeous and classy card.
Thank you so much for linking up with us at Make It Monday and for joining in our challenge at Our Creative Corner.
