Glittery and Sparkling by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Greetings friends!  April sure flew by!  Hope you are well.  Today begins a new challenge (#553) on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  The theme for this week is

ADD SOME TEXTURE

I used the lovely Glittery and Sparkling image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  I already created a card some time ago with this image and I coloured her hair with multiple colours.  This time, I decided to go with blonde.  For texture, I used a beautiful border die.  I also embossed the patterned paper with a crackle embossing folder but, unfortunately,  it doesn't seem to show up well.  Here is my DT card.

As always, I used Copics to colour her. I added some dimensional stickers which are the same colour as her hair.

For more amazing inspiration by the other Design Team members, please visit The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog. If you join in the fun, you may win some beautiful images. So, check it out!

Thanks very much for visiting.  I wish you a happy day.  Lori xx
