The DT were sent a selection of shaped card blanks to use. I must say the quality is lovely and I really enjoyed making this. It would have been difficult if not impossible to cut and score this myself :-)

I went for a British summer afternoon theme and used this very cute Kitty Picnic image from the Wild Rose Studio, coloured with Copics. I used a spellbinders labels 8 to cut the image and the mat and I the edges inked with Stormy Sky and Forest Moss DI. I added star dust stickles here and there and used glossy accents on the ladybirds The papers are from Kaiser Crafts and I used a couple of Martha Stewart butterfly punches and a sentiment from Whimsy Stamps. The pearls are Hero Arts and the spotty organza ribbon and button are from Crafty Ribbons.

The DT have made some gorgeous cards for you to see so hop on over to the Inspiration Blog to see them all. Goos Luck with the prize draw too :-)
