Another one of those cards I'm not so sure I like but I'm posting it anyway. This is for two challenges (tame I know!) Creative Inspirations set the sketch with brads or eyelets and Sunflowers and Dragonflies suggest - 'Sweet Tooth'. I won last weeks challenge at Creative Inspirations and have a bag of scrummy ribbons on their way to me!
The Cupcake is a digi stamp from Pink Petticoat and the little girl sitting on top is a Squiggles rubber stamp I won in some candy from Evelina. I shaded her with ProMarkers and surprisingly added some Glamour Dust!
I did lots of embossing for the strips and added some patterned paper also from Pink Petticoat. My giant eyelet is actually a grommet so I hope it counts. It's another one of the set that came with my Big Bite - I've been so brave to use two in the space of a week! The sort of thing I hang on to for ages before using.
And I must show you this fabulous card my friend Sue made for me:
It's a lovely thank you card in my favourite pinks (which Sue doesn't enjoy using at all!). Isn't it gorgeous? I gave her a little box of goodies when we met up last week and it was so worth it to see her face and of course to receive this in return. We've got a stash admiring / shopping trips planned for next month, can''t wait. A new shop has opened in her village and we've realised we're in driving distance of some very interesting sounding craft shops nearer my way too!

This is cute, loving the pink. Must invest in some more embossing folder such a pretty look.
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to let me know where all these craft shops are so when I come up to see my daughter I can go on a little tour. Have to lose my husband first, he moans like hell when I drag him round, unless there's a fishing tackle shop/pub next door to them maybe?
Hugs Lol xxxx
