Lemon Shortbread DT Bookmark for Challenge #49 using Goth Girl with Doll

Good Morning and Welcome Back!
Today I am sharing my Design Team project for Lemon Shortbread's new blog challenge #49.

For this Challenge I have used the Goth Girl with Doll digi stamp and made a simple bookmark to practise my colouring.


I think this image is so cute and decided to go with a pink and black theme. I used my Promarkers to colour the digi image. I kept this one simple as a bookmark doesn't need anything complicated and needs to be flat :)

Thanks for looking!

I have entered my card in the following challenges:

Sympathy Card using In My Thoughts by For the Love of Stamps

Good Morning and Welcome back!

Today I am also sharing a card I made a while back using the beautiful stamp set: In My Thoughts by For the Love of Stamps by Hunkydory. I have used this set a few times and just love the dandelions. This set is perfect for sympathy cards as well as birthdays.


I stamped in Versamark onto a patterened background various elements, to build up the scene, and heat embossed with black powder. I inked up the edges to give it a subtle build up of colour. To finish I created a border with black pen and added white dots randomly across the page in gel pen.

Good Morning and Welcome back! 

Today I am sharing a pretty Unicorn card I made a while back. This one uses the Unicorn Dreams stamp set by For the Love of Stamps by Hunkydory. I had so much fun making this prety card.
