My DT card for Pennys Use your favourite embellishments challenge

Here is my DT card for our new challenge over at 

Pennys Challenges 

Our theme for this week is 

Use your favourite embellishments

We are sponsored by 

Bugaboo

Prize 7 digis of winners choice 

and

The Poodles Doodles

 Prize 7 images of winners choice 

I am sure you would all like to win 7 images of your choice so we are hoping to get lots of entries for this challenge.

Hop on over to  Pennys Challenges to see all the DT cards that have been made to give you some inspiration.

Here are the details of my card

The image I have used is from Bugaboo which I coloured with Copics

I started off with a Craftwork Cards card and scored the front panel in the centre and turned it back on itself. 

I then cut the pretty patterned paper which came in a free paper pack with a magazine I bought ages ago using my Go Kreate dies and stuck to the card. 

 I cut the image and the message panel using a Spellbinders labels die, added pink organza ribbon with white spots on it and a bow to the folded back part of the card and added some

 Craftwork Cards Candi on the edges.

I also added a gorgeous butterfly using one of my Cheery Lynn butterfly dies.

If you haven't guessed yet my favourite embellishments are 

Patterned Papers, Ribbon, Card Candi and Diecuts using my Spellbinders and Cheery Lynn dies
