 Well, my card for this months challenge is a 3D PB stamped image. Will share how it's made it step by step.

 For those who don't want to know all the details - then just look at the pickies :D

As I was using the Penny Black Wonderful Day Stamp set I stamped it out a number of times in Versafine Onyx Black with clear embossing powder. This was a birthday card for a lady suffering with dementia, well along in the illness. She loves bright colours so went with these digi papers I had. I looked online through images of daises to find one that was a suitable colour, and chose this one here, yellow with deep purple centre. I also decided it would suit best of all the Spellbinder Majestic Marvellous squares, using the largest die from it.

Here colouring the edge of the die whilst it is in die, with PanPastel and a chalk in deeper colour to match base navy card I was using.

On right are all the layers coloured (Paper stumps for coloured blending), rounded and shaped (using a shaping tool and a foam mat).
I only coloured the layers which were going to showing, and cut out the "letter" in Hedgie's hands of base piece, as needed to colour it and overlay it on top where made slight mistake ;).
Grey Promarker and scrap pf paper is there because I go around the white edges of all the cut pieces, to hide stark whiteness on the side edge.

Emboss with cuttlebug lightly navy cardstock for to hand cutting around, as a cutting guide to put under main image die cut.

 Here it is all finished. Used the two wee butterfly stamps, also shaped, which came with the set, as Hedgie needed to be looking at something !
Added some ribbon from stash to it, and that was all it needed really.

And please go over and check out all the other wonderful inspiration from the rest of the DT here and join in with "Anything Goes Monthly Challenge!" and maybe win that Mystery Prize! :D

Thanks so very much for popping over! 
Please say hi - to let me know you've been by!
