Oh La La Tres Chic!

Good morning all!!!
It's Friday!!!!! Which means this should have been a DT card for the
Digi's With Attitude Challenge Blog! I had my post all scheduled & ready to go, then I got the message to say....

.....unfortunately the team is no longer & will be taking a break for who knows how long! 
Hopefully it's not for too long & normal service will be resumed as soon as possible!
I've had a great time working with the other girls on the DT & I'm sad to leave but there is good news too!!!
As I know some of you will be looking for a card today I let it run as planned!
The image I've used this week is Grumpy Gretchen, Tres Chic & you can find her here in the
Digi's With Attitude! store! The store I'm assured is still up & running!

I just love her & that posh Poodle!
My Mother-in-Law has had a couple of Standard Poodles for as long as I have known her!
This card design is known as a Pop Out Stepper & it's the first one  that I've made!

For the base card I used a template download, which was designed by the lovely Debbie Lauder over at Craftystash!
She is a very talented lady!
This was simple & quick to use! (Ideal for me as I'm often very slow at crafting.)
The template is printed onto one side of the card & the DP onto the other. (I chose to print my paper onto both sides!)
All the fold & cut lines are there to save you having to measure! There are also 2 sheets of topper elements to which you can add your own detail!
The Designer Papers I have used are from Bearly Mine Designs & the sentiments are from Digi's With Attitude!
The image was coloured with promarkers & to give the card a shabby chic feel I distressed the edges with an Ink It Up ink pad. I sponged the ink onto the background of the image too! Not sure if I got a bit too carried away there???
I  added a strip of ribbon down each side of the image & knotted some little bits of ribbon down each.
 I placed a little pearl on each of the ribbon knots, then a little hand tied bunch of flowers at either side of the front sentiment et voila!
I hope you like her!
Thanks for looking!
