Have a WHALE of a time!

The August Crafty Calender Challege begins today with the theme 'Anything Goes'.  Our generous sponsor this month is Polkadoodles

Our sponsor kindly provided the DT with digi images to use and I chose to use the Whale digi stamp.  I coloured the image with Promarkers, before adding a wave die cut from the Poppystamps 'Marina Sailboats' set of dies.  The image was then die cut with a Memory Box 'Stitched Square Labels' die and layered on a grey, stitched die cut square, which was raised up on foam pads.  For the background I used a Sheena Douglass 'Water Ripple' embossing folder.  Three blue gems finished off my card.

Please pop over to the Craft Calendar Challenge to see all the beautiful creations the DT have made.  

There will be a prize of three digi stamps for the randomly chosen winner from Polkadoodle and the DT will choose a Top 3.



I am joining in the following challenges:
