There are so many fun water theme digi's in the DigiStamps4Joy Store it was hard to make up my mind which one i wanted to use for this water theme project. I finally decided to play with 'Mini Mermaid Hugs' an image created by Margy.  The design paper is K&Co. and what made it perfect was it had water themed sentiments on it. along with a solid turquoise background I dry embossed with a coating of Gesso on the folder to give the design texture. The fun fancy die I used are Spellbinders Nestabilities Timeless Rectangle, Opulent Ovals and Rectangle/Grand.

Easter

Digital Image - Easter Crucifix - Designed by Beccy Muir/ Beccy's Place



 

Hello Everyone,

 

I am here today sharing this beautiful Faberge egg called 'Easter Crucifix' designed by Beccy Muir available in her shop called Beccy's Place.  This package comes with a black lined image to be colored and a coloured image which is the one I used for my project. It has all my favorite colors, turquoises, red, yellow golds and touches of white and gold pearls. I gave my card design a 3D look by adding Ranger Liquid pearls.

 

I have a splendor of solid color Design Papers...I just wish I could tell you which one this yellow is by. It has a sheen side and a brighter flat color on the other side and it gave my design an elegant look as it really showcased the dry embossing folders used to showoff the beautiful Easter Crucifix image.
