MAKE TODAY A CELEBRATION

{Digi Stamps 4 Joy DS4J: DT Project Challenge #72}

Another design team project for our bi-weekly challenge over at DS4J's challenge blog.  The theme for Challenge No.72 is FANCY FOLD WITH A HANDMADE FLOWER.  Our talented Asmah is hosting this challenge.

Okay, this creation goes with a HEALTH WARNING, please don't look if you are prone to be easily shocked! Its not another centre step design, its a DOUBLE Z FOLD design this time.  My very first attempt at this design, so there are some flaws to be detected here and there.  But I had so much fun with this, that it might just become the next design to bore you all here at {Doing Life}.  I have used the DRAGONFLY digi from DigiStamps4Joy and you can find it here . 

The dragonflies were coloured with Copics and dry chalks.  The sentiment was coloured with dry chalks. The sentiment is a freebie from Paulette {Create with TLC}.  The design papers are My Mind's Eye (Princess Flower/Aqua Paper).  The Jewel Stones are from Blueberry Bear.  The flowers were created with 2" Scalloped Square Punches and you can find my tutorial for them here.

 Looking forward to seeing your FANCY FOLD with HANDMADE FLOWER creations. So hop on over to DS4J's challenge blog and link your Creations to Challenge #72.
