And finally here is my inspiration for #week 28 Digi Choosday Challenge. You can find all details and products used below.

• To start this card I have first printed out the image cool dude on my brother laser printer and coloured the image using alcohol markers (colours in products used below) Once coloured I have then die cut around the image using an oval die and running it through my die cutting machine, I have then layered the image onto further nesting ovals die cuts using Polkadoodles Digi paper. I have printed the Digi paper and used my oval die to cut the nesting die out and repeated this using the nesting die for the black card stock and stacked them together using wet glue.
• Next I have Printed out another Polkadoodles Digi paper I have taken the remaining Digi paper and also a pearlescent green paper and cut them all into 1 inch strips, I have then run the pearlescent strips through an embossing folder and my die cutting machine to add some interest.
• Once I have all the strips cut out I have layered them onto a piece of copy paper and gluing them down with wet glue in a random pattern to create a background piece, I have then backed this onto a black card stock matt and attached to the front of a 7x7 white base card using wet glue.
• I have printed the sentiment have a nice day, cut this out and backed onto a piece of black card stock. I have then added both the image topper and the sentiment to the card base using foam pads.
