LC Designs January Digi Challenge 2016



Happy New Year to you and I hope you have recovered from your celebrations and are ready for the LC Designs (new name for Little Claire) January digi stamp challenge. The theme is 3,2,1 and I had to ask around because I didn't know what this meant but it is a card made with 3 of one thing 2 of another and finally 1 thing. My card has 3 flowers, 2 layers of patterned paper and 1 image topper, and isn't it a lovely image.

This is the lovely prize you could win if you enter the competition.........

    1. Thank you Karen, you're very kind. Its the first time I've used voile like this and I thought I would have problems gluing it but it wasn't so bad. I think I will use this little bunny for a Valentines card, its so cute.
      Love Alli Xx

    Very pretty card, pink and green is my favourite colour combination and I like the voile, I use tulle a lot in a similar way :)
