My Besties UK Guest Designing part 2, These boots were made for splashing!

As a My Besties challenge blog designer and a designer on the My Besties 3D Deco (decoupage) blog,  i was asked to make a card for the My Besties UK blog.  I am so honored to be able to share on another My Besties challenge blog!

Thank you Carol and the Design Team on the My Besties UK Challenge Blog for having me guest design!

A special feature on My Besties UK, is that they offer a discounted My Besties image for you to use, and if you do you will get a free one in return. 

I am sharing two cards with My Besties UK.  This is a second one i made using 3 different My Besties images to make one "scene" image.   Not only did i hand color the images i also cut them out to make them into a 3D decoupage image(s).  Click here for the link to the My Besties Etsy Store.

This card was pure joy to make because i had the encouragement to create something unique!  I started out with Sherri Baldy's My Besties on the My Besties 3D Deco team doing 3D decoupage and i love it to pieces (no pun intended).  When you purchase the decoupage sheets from Sherri Baldy's Etsy store, they come pre-colored..all you do is cut out the layers and put foam tape between the layers and have a beautiful 3D piece of art.  Now, if you want to be even more creative, you can color up any of Sherri Baldy's My Besties and layer them.  That is what i did for this card!
