Lots of Love

Good Morning!  Happy Monday!  I hope you had a nice weekend and belated Happy Mother's Day to everyone who was celebrating in the US yesterday.  It was a very hard day for me, being the first Mother's Day without my Mom.  I miss her very much all the time, but especially yesterday.  Anyway, today I am here with a card and some exciting news!  After 6 months of being a guest designer, I was invited to be a full-time member of the Digi Bells DT!  I am so thrilled and honored to join this team of mega-talented ladies!  And you know I love all of Elisabeth Bell's images!  Today is my first inspiration post on the Digi Bells blog as part of the DT.

Here is my card:
 

My card base and mats are SU Pretty in Pink and the patterned papers are from the Authentique Flourish 6x6 pad.  The adorable image is Lots of Love from the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection.  I printed it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics. I also added the grass and sky with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Some pearl accents and buttons with striped ribbon tabs finished card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:


Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Digi Bells blog daily for wonderful inspiration from the DT and GDT with the beautiful images from the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:

Divas by Design (in the pink)

The Squirrel and The Fox Challenge #69 (Mother's Day)
