This is a new way to scrapbook for me, part digital , but great fun and useful as you can

Add things before you print out and use :-)

I started out with a lime green 12x12 and distressed, inked and sprayed

With orange and purple smooch sprays

I printed put lots of flowers, you can 3d them by snipping as shown below

Then gluing the next petal over the snipped one . See below

In my local Tiger store I bought these beads in bottles, really cute eh? 

I poured in a dollop of glossy accents and then added the beads to make a 

Pretty centre to my flower. I also used the beads in the centre of my pretty moth.

I printed off an A4 piece of purple, cut in half and punched edges, placed as shown 

Overlapping with ribbon on the top for interest.

All of the above orange piece was done digitally (except Laura in the frame)

And then printed off so I was able to get the 'rain drops' over the blue and orange, plus the text in a vellum style. Laura in the frame printed out and 3d'd on top. 

I had some raindrops printed on vellum left over from my Halloween lantern project

So I used it over the witch topper with a BOO rub on

I finished off with lots of great embellishment from the Dragons Lair , bats

Flowers, lace and borders. A bit if real lace too. I hope you like it

This card is also for lovely friends who took us out to the Clos du marquis in Stockbridge yesterday
For Adrian's birthday treat :-) fabulous restaurant !

It's 2 x Gorjuss girls stamps on capsule background stripes.

I used the leaves and corner border from the stamp below, love

That one and use it lots

The stamp above is the one I used for the little girl, and stamped

Her in black memento ink

See above corner stamp used with brown memento 

And on the leaves I used artist pens to get my autumn leaves

I then coloured my image in with the same pen set, stamping the leaves again over tag 

To match the stamp below the tag on the corner.

As you can see above, I finished off with a Gorjuss girls ladybird brad, coloured with red 

And brown permanent markers to match, and added some red berries

I stamped some extra leaves from the stamp set around card, stamping some

On white card, cutting out and 3D- ing them on the card
