Hi again!  I'm back as promised with my DT card for this month's Digi Bells Blog Hop!  You are in for a treat this month!  Elisabeth is releasing not one, but two, beautiful new images! 

Please welcome "Corn Basket Beauty" and "Hay Day" to the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection!  You may recognize these sweet images.  They were once licensed to Whiff of Joy and are now being brought back as digital images.  They are both just perfect for this time of year!  If you arrived at my blog from the talented Vicky's blog, you are in the right place.  If not, you'll want to start back at the Digi Bells blog and hop from there so you don't miss a thing!

Here is my card with Corn Basket Beauty:

My card base and mats are SU So Saffron and the patterned papers are from the Prima Sun Kiss 6x6 pad.  I've printed Corn Basket Beauty on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A large sunflower, a triple-loop seam binding bow and a metal ear of corn charm finished my card.

Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge - August/September

Good morning!  Happy Monday!  I hope you had a good weekend and your week is off to a great start.  I haven't been around the computer much of late and I apologize for not visiting regularly.  There is just a lot going on right now and I'm scrambling to get everything done.  Hopefully it will calm down soon.  Anyway, I am here now to share my DT post for the new Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge.  The theme this time is "pretty in pink".  It should be any easy one for you!  Remember you must use an Elisabeth Bell image, but it can be from any company selling her designs. We are being sponsored by Elphine House Australia.

 

Here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are GKD Innocent Pink and the beautiful patterned paper is a digital paper from Michele Roos' Butterfly Garden collection.  She generously shared this one as a freebie awhile back.  The sweet image is Sophie's Birthday Balloon from Elphine House Australia.  I stamped it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  It's hard to see, but I added a little bit of White Opal Liquid pearls to her bracelet.  The sentiment is from SU.   Some beautiful lace, Wild Orchid flowers and lots of pearls finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge blog and check out the gorgeous creations from the Digi Bells, our GDT, Annie and Linda, and our guest for the challenge, Kim!  We hope you will play along!  You have until September 22nd at 6:00 PM Arizona time to enter your project.

Please welcome "Reading Buddies" to the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection!
