My DT intro card for Digi Darla

As I announced a few days ago I am now on Digi Darlas DT and today we are having a new DT members intro over on the Digi Darla Challenge Blog

 This is the card I made to show my style, I love making unusual shaped cards and cards that are just a little bit different to what you find in card shops

I have used a Digi Darla image for this card, its called Sick Lil Girl which is coloured with the following Copics C1, E0000, E42, E50, RV00 and RV32

I have used Scalloped circle and circle Go Kreate dies for the shape of the card and a Spellbinders decorative oval and plain oval die for the image, circle and scalloped circle nesties for the sentiment which was a freebie from Stamp Fairy.

The designer paper is from Papermania

The other dies I have used are Spellbinders for the card stopper, a Memory Box flower die and Cheery Lynn mini butterfly dies.

The pink spotty flower is a Prima flower, I added card candi in the centre and also on the top of the stopper.
