Incy Wincy Designs - Nature

This week over at Incy Wincy Designs the challenge is Nature and we are sponsored by the wonderful Di'sDigis

Who is offering the winner 5 digis from her store and as you will see from the ones the DT have used they are gorgeous digis!!

 The design team were lucky enough to have a choice of which ones they wanted to use and i chose this gorgeous Ellie the Elephant.  Elephants are my all time favourite animal so when i saw her i had to have her.  She is coloured with promarkers and shaded with prismas.  The flowers have been embelished with gems in the centres.

The card blank, which is an 8 x 8 card, paper and purple card is from Papermania. This card was a bit out of my comfort zone where the colour combo is concerned, it is a bit more vibrant than i usually use, but i am pretty happy with the end result.  The sentiment is from Raindrop Echos and is cut using a nestie.  The butterfly border is punched using a Martha Stewart punch and the 3d butterflies are punched from a Tonic Studios punch and embelished with gems from my stash.

Being as this challenge was nature and i had already added the butterflies, i thought it needed some flowers, and i have such a huge collection of flowers, i had great fun trying to decide which ones to use.  I didn't want to use roses as i tend to use them all the time when i add flowers to a project, so i decided on a large Daisy, Calia Lilys, Cherry Blossoms and Crysantheums all of which are from Crafty Emmas Store.

Thanks for reading and come back for my 2nd posting
