A Spoon Full of Sugar - Lace

For our challenge this week over A Spoon Full of Sugar we are asking you to use lace on your cards. If you do not have any lace you are welcome to use a lace effect punch. It is worth checking to see if your local market has a haberdashery stall. This is where I buy mine cheaply.

On my card today I have used the cute Nutshell image Hazel. She is coloured with a mix of copic sketch markers and prismacolor pencils with sansodor and paper stumps for blending. I have paper pieced her little dress. The gorgeous papers are from the Basic Grey Wisteria pad. I printed the sentiment from word direct onto my dp. My flowers are Prima Hydrangea. I added brads and spacers to my flower centres. I have these spacer beads for sale over in my Etsy Store.

Also for anyone who missed my post on Friday their is a DT Call over at the Nutshells blog. Be sure to check out the candy too!

Our sponsor this week is Stampavie. They have kindly given us the two below Leere Aldrich stamps for one lucky player. Not only that there will be a few surprise craft items in your package too! Thank you Michelle for arranging this fantastic prize!



Our wonderful guest this week is Sandra MacLean. Be sure to visit Sandra over at her blog to admire her card for our challenge - it's breathtaking!

Before I go I would like to thank the very talented Lena for the above cute award.

I also wanted to show you this picture of my cute kitties. After having Bella now for just over 5 weeks this is the first time they have cuddled together this closely and the first time Gemma has show Bella some love.


Be back soon with my DT card for our new Scrapmagasinet Reader challenge.

Hugs,
