I have made this card tonight in a bit of a rush for my baby nephew Ben’s christening tomorrow.  I totally forgot to make one so I went scouring the challenge blogs for a nice easy sketch to give me some inspiration.  I haven’t had a chance to enter any challenges for so long as my DT commitments take up any crafting time I might be able to get!  Anyhoo, I thought I’d check out PTW as it’s one of my favourite challenges and Dawny always has great sketches on there and lo and behold there it was – perfect.  I have used some of the gorgeous PTI papers I bought recently (from the Hodge Podge paper pack) and found this gorgeous digi imge over at Mo’s Digital Pencil.  I am becoming addicted to her images and already have a few cards lined up over the coming weeks featuring some of her amazing artwork.  I have used my beloved ProMarkers to colour the baby, namely Tea Green for the dress ( which is a perfect match for the paper I might add – how cool is that?) and vanilla, ivory and blush for the skin. 

Right, I Sky+ ed X Factor earlier so am off to watch.  TTFN!

This is the stunning sketch created by the gorgeous and so sweet Nikki for our challenge this week at A Spoonful of Sugar. Thanks for a fab sketch Nikki, it was so easy to work with.

I am keeping up with my pledge to get through as many Christmas cards as I can and couldn’t wait to play with one of my new Sugar Nellie Manga stamps. Doesn’t she look like she was made to swing on a star?! She’s coloured with ProMarkers and although hard to see (as always) has been glittered to within an inch of her life! The star was cut on the Cricut – Plantin Schoolbook cart (3” plus a shadow) and embossed with the Swirls Cuttlebug folder.

Check out the rest of the DT cards – they are truly stunning this week. Our guest DT is the super-talented Mina too – I love her work, she’s fabulous.

Our sponsor is Silly Monkey Crafts so pop along to blog and join in.

I am actually also entering this card over at the Secret Crafter challenge this week which is “One for The Girls” – this is pretty girly I think!!

Have a great day everyone,
