Here we go!


     This is my second post for today so make sure you scroll down for the earlier one.
     Back in August I answered a Design Team call at Digi Doodle Shop's Best Challenge Blog.  It was a wonderful surprise when Judy contacted me to let me know that I had been chosen for their new design team.  This card marks my official start as a member of the Digi Doodle DT!
     The theme for Challenge #28 is "Orange You Glad".   I'm not normally an orange person, but at this time of year all those fall colors really appeal to me.
     My card uses Bazzill cardstock and some fun fall papers from Recollections found at Michaels.  The image is a beautiful Digi Doodle design called "Flowers in Chair".  I've colored it with watercolor pencils.
     Break out all those yummy fall oranges and join us for this week's challenge!
Blessings!

Supplies
Papers:  Bazzill, Recollections, Strathmore Watercolor paper
Stamp:  Digi Doodle Shop's "Flowers in Chair"
Inks+:  Derwent Watercolour pencils, Vintage Photo Distress Ink
Tools:  Printmaster software for oval shapes
Miscellaneous:  Recollections pearls, Prima flower, Offray ribbon

Congratulations on the new Design Team Tracy! That's so exciting! I just love this card! I actually collect chairs...not full-size ones...smaller ones! lol Although I have full-size ones too! ha ha I tend to like cards with chairs on them and this one is gorgeous! I love the fall colors you used & the coloring! It's so pretty!...Nancy :o)
