Paper Makeup Stamps is searching for a Design Team for their new Digi Makeover Challenge! The new team will be announced on September 2nd and the first challenge will be on September 5th. Check out the PMS Blog for all the details on how to apply. {wink} There are two digi stamps there for your use and one of them is the utterly sweet Argus with Teddy that I have used on my card.
Now admittedly, I have little experience with digi stamps. I have always thought of them as "glorified clip art" and wondered why stampers would use them! {LOL} But as my stamping space becomes more and more crowded with cases, and tubs, and shelves of rubber stamps, I'm beginning to appreciate the appeal of something that can be stored in my computer instead. {grin} And I've seen so many clever creations using digis. I like making an image different sizes, or flipping it to face a different direction, or omitting part (like fairy wings) to get a different look.
So, I'm looking forward to the new Digi Makeover Challenge and learning some tips on clever ways to use them!
Now for my card, I used GIMP to change Argus from black to a nice teal color and I changed a few of the words in the digi saying I'm Here for You to match. I saved both an original version and a flipped version, then used Word to size and arrange a few images for a background. I used a retired SU! punch for the WordArt and cut a couple extra shapes in half to make a frame for it. Love the new Indigo Island ruffled ribbon too!
