Elzybells Challenge 3

The fabulous Jeanne made up a sketch for us to use this week, this is my card using it. I have stamped out Eskimo with Penguin and coloured them in with Copic markers adding glitter with my Spica pen. I have then cut them out with Nestabilities dies and added to base with 3D foam pads. The base has been made by layering up dark mauve CS with patterned paper and wrapping organza ribbon around. Greeting added in corner to finish. Check out Elizabeth's blog for all the other DT cards and the challenge for next fortnight!

Thank You Kerry

A little while a go I sent some candy to Kerry (a load of old pickle) after she won my competition. A couple of weeks ago I received this lovely card and stamps from her to say thank you. Sorry it has taken me so long to post, you really didn't need to Kerry but thank you very much :0)

Elzybells Challenge 2

Again, apologies for the late posting. Last weeks challenge for Elzybells was a great sketch designed by Jeanne. For my card I have used one of the very cute penguins and coloured him in with Copic markers. I have changed the sketch slightly by cutting in out into a circle instead of a square using my Nestabilities dies and added to base with 3D foam pads. I have made the base by layering up Lilac CS with 'Lilac Spinkles' paper with the corners cut out onto a white card blank. Gem stones added to the corners to finish. Check out Elizabeth's blog for all the other DT designs and the challenge for the 1st October.
