Anything Goes at Colour Crazy Challenge

Good morning again! My second card today and' this little cutie is for our 'Anything Goes' challenge over at Colour Crazy Challenge. Our sponsor this time around is Di's Digi Stamps so our lucky winner will be in for a treat as Di's images are adorable!

I've made a little rocker card using Top of the Cupcake World, one of Di's supercute digi stamps. I've coloured her with Graph'It markers and added a little glamour dust before layering up over a heart shaped doiley.

The pretty papers are left overs from my other card today and are from the Eden collection by the lovely Nikky Hall at Polkadoodles. I've added a pink organza bow and a sparkly dazzler to finish off.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Inspiration Destination: anything goes

Lemon Shortbread: Anything goes

Simon Says Stamp: Furry Friends

Sparkles Forum: 4 or more legs

The Ribbon Girls: Any image plus ribbon

Thanks so much for visiting today, hope to see you again soon

I've used this gorgeous digi stamp 'Fun in the Fall' from Di's Digi Downloads for this card

I've kept the card pretty simple as I didn't want to detract from the image as its sooooooo cute and I also wanted to make a card suitable for a boy.  I made a background by stamping a leafy branch from Elusive Images with versamark on some glossy card. I brayered over the card with Big& Juicy Spice inkpad and mounted the background on some brown pearlescent card. The image is coloured with promarkers and the edges distressed with vintage photo DI. The beautiful ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons.

The letter you need to pick up from my blog is
