DZ Doodles Design Team Coordinator  Clearly Inspired is show & telling of her latest Doodles card project. It’s a combination of my pencil coloring the image and paper piecing it to create a 3-D affect, and Kim applying it to her gorgeous card layout that we think you’ll like too!

Glee C. has done another outstanding job using our digi images from the SPRING/GARDEN FLOWERS category - Wild Flowers Set.  The papers for her first project can be found at Cherry On Top .

Of course she also sent me these image projects as well!
