BurtonesQue Dolls First Challenge--Stripes

Good Morning blogland...our first of many to come challenges is posted over at The Burtonesque Dolls blog. So pop on over and play along with us. We would love for you to join in on all of the fun. Our challenge was to use stripes. It could be anything from regular to wavy to curvy stripes. It doesn't matter, just use stripes. We were also lucky to be able to use images from Stamp Insanity. They are just the cutest digi images. Take a look over at their site and check them out. You are just going to love them. Here's a direct link to the store. They also offer other stamps and digi's as well. Happy shopping....here's my card--Dreams-- for the challenge...Enjoy!!!!!

for this card I used Lita for the digi image. Isn't she a doll? I printed her off onto watercolor paper and colored her in with distress re-inkers then cut her out. I added an overlay from Creative Imaginations Narratives line by Karen Russell over top of her to give it some added interrest. Pattern paper is from DCWV Safari Chic paper pack. I also used a little safety pin from Tim Holtz that reads "thoughts" but it didn't show up in the photo....

the inside I printed Lita off onto Neenah Solar White cardstock and made her smaller than the one on the front of the card and used Prisma pencils. I downloaded the artist easel from the internet the same way, trimmed them both out and added them to the inside of my card....to get the quote onto the easel, I imported the easel into Microsoft word, typed the quote into the little bubble so it would fit. I just love how you can take a digi image and make it almost any size that you need it to be. I wanted to show that with my card. And to use different mediums as well....

here's just a closer view of the quote. Well that's all I have for today. I do hope that you will go and check out the rest of the dolls' creations and play along with the challenge this week. There is a prize of the three images that the DT has used that goes to the lucky winner....Good Luck and Hugs from Charm City....
