Tiddly Inks Card - Entry into the DT Call

 

Over on the Tiddly Inks Blog they are having a DT call for new design team members which is open throughout July 2013.

To enter you have to produce a card using your favourite diggie/stamp - I had a mega hard time chosing but decided to use Be My Sunshine which has to be a cutest image ever for me.

I colour my images with a mixture of promarkers and flexmarkers as I am a Letraset addict just as much as I am a Tiddly Inks fan. Hope you like the card folks, and best of luck to everyone entering and remember you CAN do more than one card it you want too but it isnt't a requirement.
