DIGI DARLA'S CHALLENGE

Supplies:

Digi Darla digital Image - Colorful Sailboat (from September 2012 New Releases)

A - Muse Stamps - "Life's a Breeze" sentiment

Stampin' Up Products-  DSP Patterns pack - Daffodil Delight, Cardstock:  Tangerine Tango, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Island Indigo, Twine in Island Indigo, Designer Button from Holly Berry Bouquet, 1" Circle punch, 1 1/2" Circle punch, Scallop Edge Border punch, Markers:  Real Red, Pool Party, Yoyo Yellow, Island Indigo.  Close to Cocoa & Brocade Blue colored pencils used with blender pen.

Creative Memories - Oval Cutting Template 3 7/8" x 3"

How I put this card together:

1.  This is your basic 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" size card. (Crumb Cake card stock)

2.  I cut the white background to 5 3/8" x 4 1/8".

3.  Before adhering the white base onto the Crumb Cake card, I cut two 1" x 5 3/8" strips of Island Indigo card stock.  The top one I used the 1" circle punch and made consecutive "half circle" punches to simulate waves.

4.  The bottom one I also used the 1" circle punch and again cut "half circle" punches, but lined them along the bottom to create a bigger scallop.

5.  I then cut a 1" piece of crumb cake card stock and and used the scallop border punch on each side.

6.  Before adhering that on top of the Island Indigo pieces, I wrapped a single piece of twine along with  the red button and secured with a glue dot and tied a bow.

7.   Using the 1 1/2" circle punch, punch out whole circle from Tangerine Tango card stock.

8.  Place under tips of the waves on the left and hanging over the side of the white card stock a bit.

9.  Cut six 1/4" x 5" pieces of Daffodil Delight patterned paper.  Place these in a "Sunburst" pattern extending from the center Tangerine Tango circle.  These pieces will overhang the white card stock.

10.  Once all placed, simply cut off the excess of the strips and the center circle so it is all flush with the edges.

11.  Adhere entire white card base down onto Crumb Cake card.

12.  Color up Digi Image and cut using 3 7/8" x 3" measurement and then backing with slightly bigger piece of Island Indigo card stock.

13.  Place on top of card front using dimensionals or pop dots.

14.  Finish off card with simple stamped sentiment in Island Indigo ink at the bottom.
