The Greeting Farm CHA relay day 1

Hello ladies and welcome to my blog this evening. I am posting two projects tonight so keep an eye out for the next one. I made this calendar page using the first free Digi from The greeting farms first digi relay - if you want to enter and get this free digi hop along HERE.

I did start using a sketch for this page but it was too small a page to fit the sketch on with the image I wanted to use.

I coloured this gorgeous image using my copic markers. It took me aaaaaages to figure out how to make it so that the tail was outside of the nestabilities frame, I am still trying to perfect it as I always seem to get a line across the bit that is outside of the frame and havent worked out how to emboss it like this yet either. If you too want to do this you can find tutorials Here and Here  I have to say a big thank you to Bev who pointed me in the right direction.

My DP is basic gray, I also used my cuttlebug and bubles folder on the green cardstock in the background.

My brads are from papermania and the little gems were bought on ebay from Malaysia.

I am entering this card in to the CHA relay 1 for the greeting farm (to get the next free digi you have to make a card or project using this one before the deadline)

A spoonfull of sugar - which is lots of layering
