Paper Take Weekly Challenge – Shape Up!

I have been having a play with the new image stamps from Pink Petticoat – isn’t she sweet? She’s called Twinkle!! I have coloured her with my Mary pens and used some puffy stuff for her boa. This card is my entry for this weeks Paper Take Weekly challenge which is called “Shape Up”. You have to use three different shapes – I’ve got a square (card base) a rectangle and a circle. Thanks for looking and to anyone who has entered my blog candy. Good luck to you all.

The Sugar Bowl Challenge.


Right, now that I have “read and understood the rules” I think I have a card that qualifies for this challenge – i.e a Sugar Nellie image!! I had a spot of bother last wek but I’ll move on (blush). Anyhoo, I have just bought this amazing stamp from Funky Kits and absolutley adore it. I have used my trusty old Marvy pens and water brush to clour her in and try as I might – I can’t NOT add glitter. The challenge is “Three” and I have used three different papers (all from Shabby Princess range by Bo Bunny) and three primas. There are three different types of embellishment too – ribbon, gems and primas.
I did the girl with blonde hair as she reminds me of my little Georgia. She has lovely long blonde hair which is usually in plaits for school. She’s also smitten by any kind of wildlife so this stamp is perfect for her.
