GDT Call @ Digi Bells DT

The Digi Bells Design Team is looking for their next guest design team.  The challenge this time around is to create a card/project using the provided sketch and any Elisabeth Bell image.  I love Elisabeth Bell's images so when I heard about this GDT call I just had to try out.  So here's the sketch . . . .

And here's the card I created using Lil Princess Tutu from Elisabeth's digi line . . . .

To create my card I started with a black 5" x 5" square card base. I cut a piece of lily pond card stock just a little smaller and distressed the edges with a black ink pad.  I cut a strip of black card stock and punched both sides using a lace heart border punch. Then added it going down the side of the card. I cut three 1" x 2" strips of purple card stock.  On the end of each I punched the middle using a corner rounder.  I inked the edges using a black ink pad and added a black heart to each one. (The black hearts are left from using the border punch.)  To each heart I added black glitter.  I then embossed a piece of white card stock using a cuttlebug embossing folder (dots).  I inked the edges and added ink across all the embossing using the black inkpad.  I then back it in black card stock and added it to the center of the card.  I colored the image using crayola and prisma colored pencils. I backed the image in black card stock and added black glitter to the vest, tutu and boots.  I added the image to the card center. Here's a closer view of the image. . . . .

 I stamped the birthday sentiment on white card stock, inked around the edges and then backed it in black card stock.  I then added it to the upper corner of the image.  I punched a black heart using a scalloped heart punch and added black glitter.  I then backed it in purple, cut around it and added it to the bottom corner of the card. I finished it off by added a purple paper daisy with black pearl to the center of the glittered heart and two purple rhinestone hearts to the upper corner.
