Bizzy Bec Challenge 8

So what an awful day it is outside today!! But I guess that means that its fantastic weather for playing inside!! So over at Bizzy Bec's the challenge is: Create Something with your "Favorite Drink" in mind (hot or cold). So I recently got some Digi's from Pixie Dust, which are Alice in Wonderland themed. (very cool) so I thought I would print one out and give it a go. Never used Digi's before, so I was a bit worried that the ink from the printer would run - so I heat set it, but I could have given it just a tad more, because the ink did run just a tinsy bit!! I'm also wishing my water colour paper was a bit thicker, because I was having trouble getting my inks to do what I wanted them too, still getting the hang of them I guess is what the problem is!! I used what I had in A4 to stick in the printer because the majority of paper I have is only tiny, maybe next time I'm in Launceston I can get the thicker stuff which will work heaps better I think:-) I was also going to enter in the Just Magnolia Challenge - which has a sketch this week, so I used their sketch, but then realised I couldn't enter anyway because I haven't used a little Magnolia stamp - oops!! Paper: Basic Grey, October Afternoon, Kraft, Brown
Embellishments: Ribbon, Lace, Wood Button, String, Zig Pen, Kindy Glitz and Crystal Effects
Colours: Distress Ink
