Happy Valentine's day and my first Clipart Fairy Design Team post.

Way back in August of last year, the Clipart Fairy had a design team call, I love her stuff and think I own nearly everything in her store LOL! I would love to have been able to apply but I didn't have a blog. My hubby suggested I start one and then if there was ever another design team call I could apply, I uuummmed and aaahhhed for a month or two and then in October last year I finally took the plunge and set up Digiredoodah. Since then I have become a design team member for both Polkadoodles and Teddy Bo and am loving every minute of it, but last week Wendy (the clipart fairy) emailed me and asked me if I would like to be on her team, how could I not say yes!, after all she is the whole reason this blog is up and running, so here it is my first Design Team post for the Clipart Fairy.

My first card is made using elements from loung girl country chic 1, Baxter red roses and Bailey red roses. I printed my design onto linen card from the Paper Mill, printing one of the patterned papers onto the reverse, once folded this would make the inside. I scored and folded down the side of the letter L,( part of the V was folded to the back) then cut around the letters and made the back square. I printed out a second copy of Love and cut out the V and the heart, cut the centres from both hearts, added acetate, filled with confetti hearts and little no hole beads and layered them together using shaker tape. I printed Baxter and Bailey twice, I tucked Baxter behind the second V and secured him in place before layering the V's together using foam tape, I cut out his little arm and decoupaged it over the V. I layered Bailey up over the heart using foam pads,  glamour dusted around the letters and added some card candy picked up at the Sincerely Yours craft show in Leigh last year.

I am going to enter this card into the following challenges:

Bee-crafty - Hearts

Crazy 4 Challenges - Hearts

AI factory - Valentines day/love

Cupcake Craft Challenges - I (heart) you

Pear Tree Designs - Valentines day

My second card uses Bohemian papers,  Bohemian frames and Bohemian frames Lounge girl 1. I made the martini glass and wordart myself in photoshop.

I printed the background card with one of the plain bohemian papers, using a striped one for the mat and a floral one for the insert. I used ribbon from my stash across the mat and tied into a bow, then layered the rectangle frame over it with foam pads, I cut out my girl in the glass, added her to the card and decoupaged her up, again using foam pads. I used another rectangle of card to make the steps at the front of the card and added my wording to this. Again everything has a liberal sprinkling of glamour dust.
I like the look of the front steps and have lots of ideas, so expect to see more cards using this element.

I managed to find a couple of challenges that aren't based around love and hearts to enter this card into:

Etsy inspired by this from Glowgirl - (pattern on insert and frames)

Our creative corner - Cut it out

Catch the bug - different fold  (front steps) hope they count!

If you have never visited the Clipart Fairy, head over to her store and have a look around, there is lots to see and the prices are great, there is also a good selection of freebies if you have a look back through her blog.

**edited to add** Woohoo, Wendy has just added a freebie cocktail glass on her blog, inspired by my design.
