Fridays Sketchers & Other Challenges


OMG, I cant believe I actually made a card just for the sake of it opposed to DT work.  Friday Sketchers is one challenge I have not entered for ages but I couldn't resist this weeks sketch and as you can see, I have made a card. I just had to use a few bits on this that I purchased at the Make It Show the other day. They were an MS Punch, Hobby House Pearls and GCD Studio Paper Pad.
Of course my image is LOTV. I know, new releases any time now but we cant forget the old and  "Feather Boa" is one of my favourites. She's been coloured with Promarkers and Derwent ColourSoft pencils, a White Souffle Pen and Crystal Stickles. Again had to use my "Field of Sky" stamp around the image and dotted over with a pink Viva Pearl Pen. The backing paper has been randomly stamp around the edges with a butterfly stamp from Tim Holtz. I just love this vintage stamp.
Anyway, enough waffling. Here are the challenges I am entering my card into and if theres time I'm gonna try and get threw more of my new stash!!

Paper Pretties - Glittery
I Did it Creations - Punches or Dies
Craft Your Passion - Girly Girl
Sentimental Sundays - Anything Goes
Party Time Tuesday - Anything Goes
Dream Valley - Anything Goes
Cutie Sunday - Favourite Stamp
Oh La La - Pink, Pink & More Pink
Crafty Catz - Friendship
PaperPlay - Lets get Sentimental

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by my blog today.
I'm off to Pizza Hut with the kids.
