Steampunk Daniella

I'd like to introduce Steampunk Daniella. She is one of the beautiful new digis available from Jem's Designs. As a member of the Digis by Jem's DT I was offered Daniella to work with and I was thrilled, I just love her hair. Although her title is "Steampunk Daniella" I decided to give her a garden to play in.


I inked the edges of an 8"x8" card blank with Distress Ink Bundled Sage and then layered a paper from MCS Quintessential Country Garden. I wrapped a green wired ribbon around the bottom section before placing on the card base. I used a Spellbinder die to cut a border and used DI Spun Sugar and Festive Berries to colour it before layering it over the ribbon. I created another paper whilst in MCS by layering a music sheet from  FREE ViNTaGE DiGiTal STaMPS  over a brown backing paper. I also printed off a few roses several times to decoupage.


I used an X-Cut die to cut out Daniella and the music paper and coloured Daniella with Promarkers. I inked the edge of her frame with DI Spun Sugar and used DI Bundled Sage over the music die-cut. I fixed the music sheet flat and set Daniella on foam pads.


I used dies from Marianne and Cheery Lynn to create the flowers and leaves. They were coloured with Distress Inks and arranged either side of Daniella with the decoupaged roses.

 
I used a Joy Crafts die to cut two butterflies and mounted one on the other for dimension. They were coloured with Distess inks too. For the finishing touch I added three pink heart shaped buttons with coiled green thread.
Don't forget to visit the Jems website to browse the digis, there are new ones being added all the time. 
I'd like to enter this card in the challenge at That Craft Place, it's one of my favourite themes: Tic, Tac, Toe. I went down the right hand side with Dies, Border and Buttons.
