Card Design: Deedee's Digi of the Month Challenge...July

Progressive Freebie Challenge!
Hey there and happy hump day to you all!  It is time to post my project for the Digi of the Month Challenge taking place over at Deedee's Digis.

In order to enter the progressive challenge, you must either have received the latest image by having participated in the previous month or you can buy the stamp for the current month's challenge.  Everyone who enters and follows the rules is a winner because you automatically get the stamp for the next month's challenge.  Stop by the site and check out the rules for yourself.  Be sure to check out the store while you are there too.  Currently there are a few sets available for free and of course there are some wonderful ones available for purchase in the store.


Right now it is time to check out the awesome set participants got to work with this month...


Ice Cream Truck is definitely a sweet deal.  With both female and male bears AND a truck to choose from included in the set, there are so many different combinations one could come up with.  As always, Deedee's sets come with both outline and coloured versions to provide you with even more variety.  If you did not participate in last month's challenge, you can still purchase this set for just $1.25 during the month of July at the store. You can find it HERE.

Here are my card and details...

General Information:
 
  • This card has been created 100% digitally and then printed and assembled.
  • This particular layout was inspired by a From the Hearts Stamps Sketch.  


FRONT
Digital Image Details: 
  • Ice Cream Truck:  You can find this set in the store.  Details above.  I used the coloured version from the set to once again help save me some time.

Hi Lisa, That is a terrific card. I love the Dee Dee's digi set. I dropped out of all the progressive challenges for now. Hopefully I can come back later on. I like the paper and sentiment inside. Thanks for sharing. Edwina Brown
