Star tag

After attaching the bits to the star I added Stickles to the edge of the star and to some of the floral pieces and then added a ribbon tie.

Hammock days



   This month's theme for the Send A Smile 4 Kids challenge is 'for teens'.
   This digi from The Paper Shelter called Hammock days reminds me of my step daughters when they were teenagers and basking in the sun without a care in the world.
   After colouring it using Promarkers I matted it onto green card. The design paper was printed using a CD ROM (I cannot remember the name) onto shimmering paper and was also matted onto green card before matting it onto white. I coloured the peel off sentiment using a permanent marker and I added a bow made using two pieces of satin ribbon.
