High Hopes Challenge 16 - Lovely Lace

For our challenge this week over at the High Hopes blog Ila is asking us to use lace on our cards or projects. Thanks Ila for this great challenge and I think this is the first time I have used lace on my card! If you don't have any lace you can always use a lace effect punch. This cute little lamb stamp is called "Posey's for you" with sentiment "Ewe's so Sweet!".

Don't forget that each week if you join our challenge you have a chance of winning a yummy High Hopes stamp and sentiment!

Ok I've been a little naughty again and Mummy has pinched more papers from my daughter Zoe's stash. The papers are by Smirk and come in a little stack pack and are so cute and glittery. I know she will get plenty of new stash soon when we go to Alexandra Palace "The Big Stamp and Scrapbooking Show" in April ;-) If any of my blogging friends are going we are going to the show on the 18th and would love to meet up drop me a line!

A nice short post today but before I go I would like to thank Michele for passing the above award to me on Friday. Michele's blog is fabulous so if you get time do go and pay her a visit!

Have a great Sunday!

Hugs,

Karin said...

Morning dear,

what a adorable card.
I love the sweet coloured papers and cute image.
You naughty girls, have you asked Zoe if you could take some papers?
I bet she didn't mind, this way it's gives her a reason to use your papers the next time.
I would love to come over for the stamp event, but I'm affraid it's a bit to far for a few hour visit.

Enjoy your Sunday,
xoxo Karin

Michelle said...

Great Card Nikki, Thanks for sharing, I love all the buttons, you make them work so well. Whenever I use them I don't quite get it right.

Crissy Armstrong said...

Nikki! I so love how your cards always have a splash of eye catching colors! I love how you used color in this card especially; like how the green in the ribbon that goes across the card gets continued under the sheep in the grass. And how the dark pink flowers outside the oval get continued on the main image in the flowers the sheep is holding. I love the combination of the tiny flower print paper with the bold stripes. I so love the button centers on the flowers and the two rows of lace too! Just a gorgeous card!
