It's Cuttlebugs 1 year Birthday this month and their celebrating with new challenges all month. This first Challenge was to make a Birthday Invitation using embossing folders.
I decided to do a Beach Themed Invitaion:
I used digi stamps from Dustin Pike chalked them and colored them with watercolored pencils. I used two different digi stamps to get this look. I used stickles to add some color tro the scene.
I used CB Embossing Folder Forest Branches. I used Bazill Cardstock and Flowers w/ SU Brads.
This is the invitation that pulls out of the back pocket.
I used another digi stamp from Dustin Pike. I colored it and added stickles to give it some glitter.
I used the CB Embossing folder Blooming Dots on both the foil paper and the beige paper.
Well there is my "Beachy" Invitation!!
I love your beachy invitation..
Thankyou soooooooo much for joining the Cuttlebug Challenge...
Have a lovely weekend:)
