Once again it's time for another challenge at One Stitch At a Time .
My Card
The digi I was given to work with is "Pillow Talk" from Stitchy Stamps. Now a naked lady hugging a pillow is sooo out of my comfort zone, so I kind of fudged the issue. I chose to interpret the expression on her face as dreamy and romantic rather than sexy and I took it from there. I coloured the image with Promarkers, fussy cut it (not very well!) and then superimposed it onto the digi of a chair I found on t'internet.
My card is 6" x 6" I matted a very old piece of lavender paper onto the base card and then used Cuttlebug "Matelasse" embossing folder on a piece of purple pearl card. Both pieces from my bits box. The flowers are Cheery Lynn large, medium and small roses but I have made them to look more like daisies with a gemstone in the centres. The leaves are also Cheery Lynn Wreath Strip. A piece of lace and ribbon from my stash were added. I computer generated the sentiment and diecut using SB Scalloped Circles.
We would love it if you could join us in this weeks challenge. The theme is Use A Digi and if you use an image from our sponsor you could win seven digi images. So what are you waiting for?

Hi Christine,
This is so gorgeous, would never have thought the chair did not go with the image till I read your post, it fits so well together and I love how you have turned it into a respectable, fitting image lol!
Love the embossing folder, great pattern and the colours used are wonderful.

Beautiful card Christine. I love it. Hugs Rita xxx
Hi Christine, very subtly done :) Beautiful card - she almost looks gift wrapped :))
Your link worked fine honey, Mr Linky can look as if he hasn't accepted a link, I think he take his time! Just wait a few seconds and then refresh the page, sometimes more than once. But, of course I'm always more than happy to sort out ANY issues - right down the breaking up hair pulling sessions in the Playground, snort.:)
Hugs, Di xx
