Charisma Cards challenge.


Here is my take on this week’s Charisma Cards Challenge which is a lovley sketch. I don’t really like the way it has photographed theough, the orange ribbon is much more subtle in real life!!

Not much time to chat tonight as my hair is dripping wet and I still have the lunchboxes and Olivia’s cooking stuff to organise for tommorrow. Someone tell me why I had 5 kids?!

A Spoonfull of Sugar – # 44 EASTER

We have a very appropriate challenge for you this week over at A Spoonful of SugarEaster. There is another fabulous prize on offer, £10 voucher from Silly Monkey Crafts so pop over and have a look at the other DT’s cards – they’re amazing (as always). Our GDT this week was chosen by Joanne and her name is Rebecca Clews. Her blog is gorgeous so go and have a wee look.

I have made a card using the gorgeous little Chick stamp set, Chick Ears. I love these little chicks. I have decouped him and glittered his bunny ears with Glamour Dust and diamond glazed the egg. I have used my trusty SU! scallop punch along the front panel of the card and the green gingham paper is from a big bundle I bought at Costco ages ago. Most of it is horrible but there are a few nice sheets in there.
Hope you can join in the challenge.
Hugs,
