The problem card....

OMG!!! I've never had SOOOOO much trouble photographing a card as I had with this one... okay I first tried last night, so put it down to the poor light... but even today its taken me FOREVER!!! this is as good as its going to get...
This is my entry for the sugar bowl challenge...


which is this awesome sketch... and to use STARS...

Its AGES since I used this stamp... but knew instantly when I read 'stars' this was what I was going to use...

Image: Leanne Ellis Catch a falling star
coloured with promarkers and pencils
Papers DCWV green stack, and BG origins...
MM star brad
I made the flower using the DCWV papers and added a paper flower centre...
popped on some pearls, ribbon and a button...

A Card at last!!

Good Evening!
You didnt expect me to be posting on a Tuesday... I bet!! LOL!
I've made 2 cards today, but I'm late in the day taking photos, and the other one I just couldn't get a photo of..

This is my entry following the fab sketch at Passion For Promarkers...

And as the Secret Crafter challenge is 'Anything Goes' I'd also like to enter it there...

Looking at this now, I'm not sure about the colours I've used!... it may just be the quality of the Photo...Anyhoo...its made now...

I've used a gorgeous Belles and Whistles stamp (Tania Baking) I've coloured her with Promarkers and Pencils...

The papers are a bit of a mix! DCWV green stack, and BG origins... In real life they look good together...I promise!

Pearls, buttons, ribbon and stuff, are all from stash, and I've finished with a handwritten sentiment, and a bit of doodling....

Thanks for looking!!!
