For our challenge this week we have a fabulous sketch for you to follow which has been designed by our Guest Designer Tina. Do take the time to visit Tina here. Her cards are breathtaking and her attention to detail on her cards is stunning.
We have a fabulous prize this week (see below) from our sponsor Nutcrafters. One lucky person will win High Hopes 'Cowgirl Candice', High Hopes 'Howdy Pardner' sentiment and also a Prima 'Pixie tin' (small assorted colour flowers). Thank you Colette and Katie for this wonderful prize!
For my card this week I have used some yummy products from my new Silly Monkey Crafts DT box. The gorgeous Tilda is one from the new '09 Valentines colletion and is called "Tilda with hearts". I thought it would a cute idea to add the goodwear mini heart buttons in her apron. Silly Monkey crafts have some fabulous new stamps in stock. As well as new Magnolia's they have Pink Cat Studio and The Greeting Farm stamps (Anya). I distressed the edges of the image using Versamagic Jumbo Java. I was then also very brave ;-) and even though there is no stitching on my card used my sewing machine to do the corner design.
I received the above beautiful award from my dear friend Agnes. Thank you Agnes!Hope you find time to get inky and join in with our challenge.
Hugs,
