Another design team project for our bi-weekly challenge over at DS4J's challenge blog. The theme for Challenge No.75 is 60's INSPIRATION. Our talented design team member, Riette is hosting this challenge. Thanks Riette for choosing this awesome theme for us this fortnight.
Another centre step design. I have used the 3D FLOWER SET from DigiStamps4Joy and you can find it here. I have also used the TRENDY TWO digi and you can find it here.
The images and sentiment have been coloured with Copics and dry chalks. The design papers are from BoBunny. The sentiment was coloured with dry chalks and is a freebie from the wonderful sharing Paulette from CREATE WITH TLC. The bling is from Blueberry Bear.

Desire,
ReplyDeleteThe photo of the jacarandas in bloom is beautiful. We have those trees here in Phoenix, AZ USA and they bloom in April or so. This photo caught my eye and I'm going to use it as "background" on my computer. It's too beautiful to put in a folder that I may never look at again; I want to see it every day. Beautiful photography. Hugs, Gail aka Lacey Lassy
