Here is my project using a Bugalo digi. I have created a christmas wishes fairy card.

I printed the digi onto neenah card stock and coloured with spectrum noir markers. This was cut into a large circle using a GC die. I then used a sheet of gold mirror card and cut a fancy edged circle to matt it onto.

The main card blank was covered in blue swirly card and edged with pinflair peel offs.

I then typed a sentiment and punched it out, then punching a scalloped matt for it and mounted it onto the card using pinflair glue gel adding a little bow.

The flourishes at the bottom were cut again from dies then flowers and balls added.

Lastly 2 large blue bling and glitter on the fairy wings

I am entering this card into the following challenges
