DDC # 25 - Mining for Silver

-
This week at Digi darlas our challenge for you is mining silver!  This is a great time to pull out all your wonderful silver embellishments.

I must admit... I was a bit stumped with this one... I really wasn't  sure what type of card to make.  I saw the beautiful creations from all the other DT members and was really not feeling up to their level.

Then I had a breakthrough.  I figured that this would be a great time for a masculine card.  Don't know why but silver "screamed" masculine to me lol.  So here's my card using the Western set (told you felt masculine :D)

To make this card I used Martha Stewart Punch pad paper.  I also used Label 18 and Label 14 from Spellbinder to cut the digi and the sentiment.  The paper is from my scrap piles.

Here's a closer look at my wonderful digi colored with copics and I also used my Prismacolor pencils for the silver of the revolver.

I hope that you have found this inspiring :D  And if just participating in our challenge was not fun enough you will also get the following wonderful digi just for playing with us at Digi darlas


I'm entering my card in the following challenges:
  1. Chocolate coffee cards - embossing
  2. Craft your days away - anything goes
  3. IDIC - use a digi
  4. The crafty pad - Dies or punches (I used dies)
  5. Whoopsi Daisy Challenge - include a sentiment

As you know now (it's been 3 wks ;D) there's another post coming after this one!  See you in a bit.
