LET'S CRAFT & CREATE CHALLENGE #115 FOUR LEGGED FRIENDS

Good morning!

We have a new challenge starting today over at
LET'S CRAFT & CREATE

The theme for this challenge is....
FOUR-LEGGED FRIENDS
There is a lovely prize up for grabs too so come along and join in!

So here is my inspiration card...

I chose a Bo Bunni image from a Crafters Companion CD I had in my stash.
I put these cd's on a shelf and forget about them...I really should check them out in future, they have some fabulous images and papers etc on them.
The pink background paper came from the same CD which actually was free with a 'CRAFTERS INSPIRATION' issue from CRAFTERS COMPANION.
I matted and layered the front of 6x6 white base card placing some of the mats at a slight angle.
I wrapped pink ribbon around the top mats and adhered it to the back out of sight, then placed a matching bow on top.
The image went to the right side at an angle and put in place with foam tape giving it extra lift.
A small sentiment went in the top left corner of the top mats.

And thats my DT card for this time.

I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.

Please do visit our other DT members to see their fabulous creations too.

Thank you for stopping by today and we look forward to seeing your creations in the challenge.
