Card Design: Doodle Pantry Digital Challenge #46

Oh, oh.  I'm sick AGAIN.  Just when I was making a dent and catching up, some mutant virus attacks me.  Of course the first thing it attacked was my voice, so if nothing else, the hubs is probably enjoying the quiet of the last three days.  Now I just have to find the strength to get at least three more posts done over the next few days and then get at least three more cards and their accompanying posts done by the end of next.  This could get tricky...

Right now, it is time to link up my creation for the latest Doodle Pantry challenge.  This month I created a belated birthday card.  Sadly, I'm a bit behind on getting cards done that I actually need to send out.  This one is for two special men in my life whose birthdays are both in May.  Unfortunately, I'm so behind at making cards at the moment that I'm being a scrooge and sending them one card to cover both their birthdays!  Yeah, I know, bad friend.

Remember, Doodle Pantry challenges are unique.  If you use a Doodle Pantry image (not just a sentiment) then not only will your name be entered for a final prize coupon BUT you will also get the featured product for free.  That is pretty darn incredible!!!  Now of course, you are welcome to submit cards following the rules and theme using an image from any digital company but you will only be entered into the draw for the final prize coupon.

Check out the amazing featured product up for grabs in this month's challenge, for those who do enter using a Doodle Pantry image... 

Check out those cars!  Now, technically this set would have been awesome to make a card for these particular men as they are both classic car freaks.  At least I know which set to use for them for next year.  Now, all I have to do is remember!!!

If you are not participating in a Doodle Pantry challenge, you should really consider doing so.  Everyone is a winner AND unlike progressive challenges where if you miss a challenge you lose the opportunity to play in future ones, the challenge at Doodle Pantry is set so that ANYONE can enter at ANY time, and still have the opportunity to earn the freebie package (following the rules of course). 
  Here is the great kit I worked with for this month.  Check it out...

Once again I have relied on the wonderful Goose Me set which I received for taking part in a previous challenge.  This time around I used a different pre-coloured image and papers, and also used two of the sentiments from the kit.  To purchase it, click HERE or on the watermark above to head its location in the store.

Here are my card and details, hopefully I haven't forgotten anything...

FRONT

Digital Image and Sentiment Details: 

• Both from the Goose Me set.  Details included above.

Digital Embellishments: 

• I used an edging template from Marisa Lerin, a designer with Pixel Scrapper and added a shape to make it wider to sit as a backdrop to the sentiment.
• I also took two of the papers from the Goose Me set and created rectangular shapes.
• Bevels were added to achieve depth. 

Embellishments:

• I found some fabulous new sets of buttons at the Dollar Tree.  Such a variety of colours and the ones from the yellow/orange set were perfect for this card.  

Sketch:

• I used an old From the Heart Stamps sketch for this card.

INSIDE 

Digital Sentiment Details:

• Also from the Goose Me set.  Details above. 

OVERALL

Paper Products: 

• Card base: Michael's Recollection's Cardstock, white.    

Digital Paper Products:

• The paper in the background on the front and inside is one the papers from the Goose Me set.  Details above.
