Elisabeth Bell's Dolly's Picnic Digi Bells' Blog Hop

To celebrate the newest addition to the Elisabeth Bell Design's Digital Gallery (here), the Digi Bells Design Team is hosting a blog hop.

How can you win your own Dolly's Picnic digi image? You'll have to hop through and leave comments on EACH blog. [You can find the full list of blogs at the Digi Bells Design Team blog (here).] Lynda will pick 2 blogs at random and the winners will be picked from those comments. The hoppers will have until Friday, April 25, 2014 at 9 AM to leave comments. The winners will be posted at the Digi Bells' blog on Saturday, April 26, 2014.

Reminder: Buying then sharing digital images is theft. Sharing digital images takes income away from the artist.

I've used this playful little lady having tea with her doll, on a side-open card.  Here's a closer view of my Copic-filled image .

Layers of Bazzill teal and lavender are teamed up with Memory Box Viola 6x6" paper collection and Webster's Pages Hollywood Vogue Shine a Light double-sided paper.  My Minds Eye Miss Caroline Dilly Dally "Celebrate" blue twine is weaved through a Whimsy Stamps Celebration Pennants set of sentiments die cut using their Banner Pennant Die Set.  Lifestyle Crafts Large Oval dies shape my image and a Creative Impressions enjoy relax savor Twill provides a bottom border.

The inside is left blank to stamp or handwrite a personal message . . .

Ladybug Crafts Ink carries a sweet line of Floral Delight Too digital images featuring a whimsical variety of floral images.  I've used Jug and Vase Delight to create a side open card to send warm wishes to someone special.

As I wanted to keep my White On White card elements as the main focus, I used some of my lightest Copic colors to fill my image in a very simple way.  This view shows my Copic-filled image . . .

I had a lot of fun making my border as I wanted my White On White elements to be special even though they were lacking color or pattern.  I first used my Marvy Uchida Clever Lever Quick Borders Craft Punch with a Scallop Flower punch cassette.  Close To My Heart Bitty Sparkles are centered in each punched flower.  A McGill 1/4" ribbon stitch hand punch provided slots for me to weave my Offray 1/4" grosgrain white ribbon and double bow.  Finally a ProvoCraft butterfly hand punch added a third layer to my border.

Layers of Bazzill Avalanche white textured cardstock form my card.  One matted layer is dry embossed using a Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder.  Lifestyle Crafts' Large Circles and Large Scalloped Circles shape my image.  A popped-up EK Success Whale of a Punch Photo Corner Scallop punch is lined with Heidi Swapp clear bling to decorate my upper corner.  Whimsy Stamps' The Good Life Tickets sentiment is die cut using their Ticket Die for sharing a warm sentiment.

Here's a view of my completed card front showcasing Ladybug Crafts Ink Floral Delight Too Jug and Vase Delight . . .

Ladybug Crafts Ink carries a sweet line of Cupcake Cuties digital images featuring a lovely young lady and her variety of cupcakes.  I've used Wagon Full of Cupcakes to create a side open card to send birthday wishes to a little someone special.

This view shows my Copic-filled image . . .

Layers of Bazzill Kraft and pink cardstock with Wild Rose Studio's Spring Fling patterned paper form my card.  A machine-stitched border surrounds my patterned paper and image.

I've threaded a string of My Mind's Eye Follow Your Heart "Be Amazing" yellow twine through the banner stamped and die cut using Whimsy Stamps Celebration Circle Pennants Sentiments and Circle Pennants die set.  A Whimsy Stamps Swirly Balloon Border is die cut using different patterns that are lightly coated with Diamond Stickles for sparkling fun then popped up for a bit of dimension.  My image is shaped using an EK Success Scallop Corner punch layered over a QuicKutz Scalloped Square.

Here's a view of my completed card front showcasing Ladybug Crafts Ink Cupcake Cuties Wagon Full of Cupcakes . . .

The inside coordinates with the front and includes space to add a handwritten note . . .
