CES Challenge DT Card & other challenges...



Another sunny morning here in England with the warm spring days finally here.
Today over at the CES Challenge Blog we have a new challenge. 
Thanks to all who took part in last weeks "Childrens" challenge, so many wonderful entries. This weeks theme is "MONOCHROMATIC". I thought this was going to be quite tricky as I couldn't see this little cutie all in brown but am pretty pleased with how my card has turned out.


The stamp is "Fairy Kiki" from Mo Manning. She's been coloured with Copics and a few White Dimples on her cheeks with a White Gel Pen and cut with nests. The papers are Fancy Pants and most of the embellishments on this card are available to buy at Crafty Emma's Store where more new stash is due soon. The Scrabble Tiles are a Papermania Box and I just love using these. Papers have been distressed and again used my Gold Adirondaak Paint Dabber on alot of the card.I just couldn't do without this. Such a great effect. The butterflies are a MS Punch. I have stamped over them with my "Field of Sky" Stamp and added Pearls using my new Pearl Maker Pen. Pretty much the same as Viva Pearl Pens, just a different variety of colours. Swirls are a Marianne Die and I've used the Gold Dabber and again the Pearl Pen. Lots of Stickles and I found my Magnolia Birds in a draw so inked one up and added it to the card.

Heres my usual list of challenges;
One Stop Craft Challenge - Monochrome
Sukkersott - Bursting with Flowers
Card Makin Mama's - Embellish It
Mami Doodles - Use a Punch or Die Cut
Paper Sundaes - Spring Blossoms
I Did It Creations - Anything Goes
Crafts & Me - Glitter
Kaboodle Doodle - Lets get Girly
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes (new stamp used)
Stampin Sisters in Christ - Card/Project for a Child
Paper Cupcakes - Lets Use Flowers
Lexi's Creations - Monochromatic
7 Kids College Fund - Seeing Spots

And now 2 of my children are on school holidays I may get more time to play.

This card has now been added TO MY EBAY SHOP

Thanks for looking and have a lovely weekend
