My 1st 'FOR FUN CHALLENGES' DT card

Hurray! It's Wednesday, which means I can now post a pic of my 1st 'For Fun Challenges' DT card! The theme is a 'recipe' to include: 1 image, 2 buttons or brads and 3 different backing papers. I used the recipe to make a birthday card for a friend whose birthday it is next week, so Suz, apologies (I know you follow my blog, so if you'd rather get a surprise in the post next week, please avert your eyes!!!!)


As you can see, I made an easel card (one of my fave all-time styles.) The image is from a collection called 'Girl Talk Shopping' purchased from Aimee Asher Elite and is coloured with Promarkers.


The BPs are Dovecraft, and are layered up on lilac and pink card. I used my nesties and new border punch and added paper roses along with the 2 required buttons. The sentiment is computer generated (font: Cool Dots.) The ribbon was recycled from a gift-wrapped pair of PJs I had for Christmas!


I followed last weeks Friday Sketchers layout, as I often find it easier than starting from scratch. Pop on over to the FOR FUN CHALLENGES blog, and check out the great cards that the other DT members have made......and why not enter a card yourself too!


I would like my card to be considered for the following challenges:
